Graphene-X
Graphene-X has introduced its first women’s clothing collection, expanding its use of graphene-integrated fabrics beyond the men’s and unisex products. The new three-piece capsule collection was developed in partnership with Kyorene.
The garments use yarns infused with graphene that are intended to help regulate body temperature while also providing bacteriostatic protection, odour control and resistance to ultraviolet rays. Graphene-X integrates graphene directly into the fibres of the fabric. This method helps maintain the functional properties of the material over time, ensuring that the performance features do not fade or wash out after repeated use.
The collection uses the brand’s Graphdry and Graphmotion fabric technologies, which help control body temperature, reduce odour and speed up drying. By maintaining a balanced microclimate around the body, the fabrics are designed to support comfort throughout the day as people move between different environments.
Graphene-X also states that the bacteriostatic qualities of the fabric allow garments to be worn longer between washes. This reduces maintenance and may increase the overall lifespan of the clothing. The company views this durability as part of its sustainability approach, focusing on long-lasting garments rather than fast-fashion consumption.
