NYLON SPARKLE

Little did DANIEL PLUS LAUREN know or was aware of, there still exists the can’t miss sparkle of lurex on bra tops and leggings where it feels like a trip back 10 years. But don’t denounce things past decade as fashion, music, and media seem to be in love with things of the past, 90’s via TikTok, and last decade by force. Hey, all things last decade were not bad at all, Taylor Swift proved her medal for life, and sparkle lurex via Bode NYC hot yoga instructors last decade are a delight for DPL. And lurex is thriving like never before here at Functional Fabric Fair July 2025 edition thanks to textile maker, Profile.

You could say this is a love story of sorts for DPL, Upper West Side, Bode NYC obsessed with hot yoga as a negative 10 pound gateway with the toughest instructors sporting this special loving material. With the Profile lurex edition, lurex is mixed in with that heavenly activewear fabric ratio of nylon and spandex. For this particular set of bra top and leggings sparkled, it’s 60 percent nylon, 24 percent spandex, and 16 percent lurex. And in the mix of micro fiber, gauge nylon, and OP lurex scuba that wicks away sweat, there’s a moment where dark grey has high clout for this high resilience garment that only high-end brands carry.
