Taiwan's textile industry is diversifying its use of reflective materials.

　　Taiwan’s textile industry has developed functional fabrics that are now being widely used in fashion apparel.

　　For the first time, the fashion brand Golden Bear—“Jack Nicolaus Golf Fashion Casual Wear”—has incorporated Sunsoul fluorescent technology fabric into its Fall/Winter 09 collection, delivering vivid, saturated hues that capture the opulent essence of winter.

　　Giftstart (reflective materials) and Sinberly (functional fabrics), both companies under Jishi Da, have successfully launched the world’s first collection of functional, fashionable, and safety-oriented reflective apparel—breaking through the traditional limitation of reflective clothing, which previously served only as a means of identification for outdoor workers who typically operate at night.

　　Xinbaoli’s high-quality functional fabrics, combined with reflective glass microbeads certified under the European standard EN-471 by Jishida, and enhanced by the design aesthetics of Spinning & Weaving Association, draw inspiration from Taiwan’s traditional “Temple Fair Warrior Dance Troupe Culture.” This innovative approach gives fashion garments a brand-new, dazzling effect, marking a groundbreaking achievement in the textile industry.

　　In addition, the Taiwan Textile and Apparel Federation, together with Jishida Co., Ltd. (reflective materials), has developed a lightweight casual sport for pétanque that integrates 3D pattern-making techniques based on ergonomic principles and features vibrant colors to highlight elegance and fashion.
