LYCRA® VintageFX fiber officially launches at Kingpins Amsterdam, April 15–16. The LYCRA Company’s latest innovation delivers the authentic look of heritage denim in modern silhouettes while providing the comfort, fit, and shape retention that consumers expect from stretch denim.

Designed for denim and woven fabrics, LYCRA^® VintageFX fiber sets a new performance benchmark, enabling brands and mills to recreate rigid, heritage-inspired looks without sacrificing recovery, durability, or wearer comfort. This innovation responds to the industry’s shift toward away-from-the-body silhouettes and looser fits—including wide-leg, flares, boyfriend, and mom jeans—where maintaining fit and stability remains a challenge, particularly in the waist, hips and crotch.

“After previewing LYCRA^® VintageFX fiber at Kingpins Amsterdam last year, we’re excited to officially introduce it to the global denim community,” said Ebru Ozaydin, product category director – denim and ready-to-wear at The LYCRA Company. “For brands and garment makers, its dual-core yarn construction, low growth, and high recovery open new design possibilities. These features enable compact, less bulky fabrics with an authentic vintage appearance, but without the instability of traditional low-stretch constructions.”

A New Standard in Comfort Stretch Denim

Engineered with a proprietary and patent-pending fabric application, LYCRA^® VintageFX fiber works in tandem with LYCRA^® fiber in a dual-core structure. During finishing, this fiber shrinks under heat, controlling elastic extension, protecting the fiber core, and delivering enhanced shape retention to reduce bagging and sagging. Additional technical benefits include:

• Low growth and good recovery, even after industrial wash and bleach processes
• Compact fabric construction for better drape and less bulk
• Authentic vintage denim aesthetics with soft compression and a gentle-to-the-skin feel
• Reduced seam slippage for improved garment quality and longer wear life

The result is a fabric solution that supports modern comfort stretch denim, balancing heritage-inspired looks with the needs of contemporary lifestyles. Apparel made with this fiberalsoqualifies for LYCRA XTRA LIFE^® fiber branding at the point of sale, reinforcing garment durability.

Value for Brands and Retailers

“LYCRA^® VintageFX fiber enables brands and retailers to deliver a strong consumer value proposition, filling a critical market gap while elevating collections,” said Arnaud Ruffin, vice president, brands and retail at The LYCRA Company. “This product shows how our commitment to textile innovation supports the value chain with unique, performance-driven solutions.”

LYCRA^® VintageFX fiber has passed The LYCRA Company’s rigorous testing protocols, ensuring consistent performance, durability, and quality. Brands and mills can also access co-creation opportunities at LYCRA^® Labs, where they can tap into deep technical expertise and collaborative innovation to bring distinctive stretch solutions to market.

Show visitorscan also experience sample fabrics and garments made with Renewable LYCRA^® fiber, which is made from 70 percent plant-based resources. This spandex supports efforts to reduce the environmental impact of apparel, offering a more sustainable option for denim. LYCRA^® ADAPTIV fiber, which offers a second-skin fit and enables size-inclusive denim, will also be on display.

Kingpins’ guests are invited to visit The LYCRA Company’s representatives at stand B10 at the SugarFactory in Amsterdam. To schedule a meeting at the show or learn more about LYCRA^® VintageFX fiber, visit this website.

UST, a leading AI and technology transformation solutions company, has joined hands with Global Capability Center (GCC) advisory firm Evaaya to launch UST Nimbus, a design-led operating model that enables Global Capability Centers to move beyond execution and become Global Value Organizations. Under UST Nimbus, GCCs are designed from day one to drive innovation, digital transformation, and measurable business outcomes.

The launch of UST Nimbus comes as GCCs (Global Capability Centers) continue to evolve from cost-efficiency models into enterprise innovation hubs, meaning that organizations are under increasing pressure to reduce costs while accelerating innovation and retaining control of talent and intellectual property. This innovative new offering meets these needs by complementing UST’s strengths in engineering, AI, and execution at scale, allowing UST Nimbus to deliver a complete build–operate–scale approach.

While many GCC providers focus on accessing talent at scale or enabling infrastructure and setup, UST Nimbus builds a bespoke, practitioner-led, and design-driven model built by leaders who have run and scaled GCCs. By aligning the GCC’s unique identity and culture with the enterprise from day one, UST Nimbus creates hubs that enable high-performance teams, improve retention, and accelerate delivery outcomes.

Within UST Nimbus, the talent of each organization is treated as a key competitive advantage, using careful workforce planning and strong employer branding to attract and retain top talent for long-term success. Under this approach, innovation and expertise stay within the company, as GCCs build and keep intellectual property, data models, and platforms that reduce dependency on fragmented vendors while also accelerating product and platform development.

UST Nimbus’ talent-first approach is powered by practitioner-led design that is grounded in real-world GCC operating experience and AI-driven talent strategies to enable faster ramp-up and stronger engagement with employees. The result is a GCC that evolves into a magnet for critical skills and serves as a sustained engine for innovation and enterprise value.

“At UST, our first-hand experience scaling global teams gives us the insight required to solve critical issues and deliver sustainable transformation through a design-first, full-stack delivery model. UST Nimbus reflects a shift in how GCCs are built, transforming them from cost-saving centers to strategic engines of innovation, IP creation, and enterprise value. It brings together UST’s expertise in scaling global teams with a design-led, full-stack approach to building, operating, and continuously optimizing GCCs for long-term performance. With this model, organizations can move faster, retain critical capabilities, and continuously innovate at scale, delivering lasting value across the enterprise,” said Bharath Krishnaswamy, Senior Vice President, UST.

“UST and Evaaya are committed to leveraging our unique strengths to build resilient, innovation-driven GCC solutions that deliver lasting business value. While many GCC models prioritize setup and scale, our focus is on the factors which determine long-term success for the GCC, including operation, integration with the enterprise, and sustained value delivery. By shifting the focus to strategic alignment and value generation, this joint offering delivers measurable impact and empowers clients,” said Vaidyanathan Seshan, EVP and Founder, Evaaya.

Ahana today announced a solution-led initiative for co-operative banks, built on Ahana’s Data Management Solution platform and delivered through the Data Model designed by Ahana, a business solution purpose-built for co-operative banks to simplify RBI reporting in environments where data resides across core banking, treasury, and digital channels. Reporting cycles still rely heavily on extraction, validation, reconciliation, and spreadsheet-driven workflows.

Adapting to the Evolving RBI Reporting Landscape for Co-operative Banks

Co-operative banks often manage reporting data across multiple systems and departments, leading to reconciliation overhead and inconsistent reporting outcomes. Common conditions include disconnected core banking, treasury, and digital systems; RBI reporting that takes days per cycle; higher error rates due to manual consolidation; and difficulty producing a unified customer view.

Audit readiness adds complexity. In many environments, audit data is distributed across departmental systems without a historical data retention strategy, and reports are manually created from on-premises backups, increasing turnaround time and contributing to repeated audit delays.

The same operating conditions will require substantial manual effort, with approximately 30 to 40 personnel across functions such as Credit Monitoring, Accounts, Treasury, and Forex involved in data extraction, validation, and consolidation for MIS and reporting.

A governed RBI reporting solution for co-operative banks and audits

Data Model designed by Ahana is being used to deliver a regulated reporting framework for co-operative banks, focused on simplifying RBI reporting where reporting cycles depend on manual consolidation. The solution establishes a governed reporting foundation that consolidates data, standardizes processing, and supports RBI and MIS reporting workflows through structured pipelines and analytics-driven consumption.

Vivek Hegde, Founder Director and CEO, Ahana, said: “Co-operative banks are under increasing pressure to deliver accurate RBI reporting on tighter timelines, even while data remains distributed across core banking, treasury, and digital channels. With the Data Model, designed by Ahana, we are helping banks reduce manual effort, improve audit readiness through traceable lineage and historical records, and move toward faster, more consistent regulatory reporting cycles.”

From an implementation standpoint, the approach focuses on standardizing ingestion, orchestration, and report-ready data structures to reduce manual consolidation.

Srinath C V, Head- Automation and AI Initiatives, Ahana, said: “For regulated reporting, automation needs controlled pipelines and consistent definitions across cycles. By standardizing ingestion, orchestration, and the STG, CDR, and MART structure, banks can reduce dependency on spreadsheet-driven workflows and make reporting more repeatable.”

Outcomes that co-operative banks can expect

The solution is positioned to support measurable outcomes, including faster RBI reporting cycles moving toward reports generated in hours instead of days, reduced manual effort and error exposure through standardized processing and reduced dependency on spreadsheet-based workflows, and improved audit readiness supported by traceable data lineage and historical records for regulatory review.

Ahana noted that delivery emphasis is on operational controls that support consistent reporting cycles and audit readiness.

Chidananda Murthy, Head-Presales, Ahana, said: “The priority is to make reporting dependable in day-to-day operations. That means there should be clear controls around data quality and audit evidence, historical records supported by traceable lineage. This reduces redevelopment and massaging of reports. This will greatly reduce the pressure on MIS team to commit the timelines for report submission. “

It also supports a scalable KPI operating model, including measures such as on-time submission rate, data quality score, report preparation time, and manual adjustments per report, tracked on a defined cadence. The approach is intended to support a single source of truth for reporting and audit needs and minimize discrepancies across systems.
