Stretch the Summer: Fabrics That Move With Fashion and Function
By Friedmans, 7 May 2025
Summer is a season of movement, sun-soaked days, carefree travel, and fashion that flows effortlessly from beach to city. At Friedmans, we’re proud to power the designers and brands who bring this spirit to life through swimwear and fashion made with our high-performance stretch fabrics.
That’s why we’re excited to launch our Stretch the Summer campaign - a celebration of creativity, flexibility, and the fabric innovation behind today’s boldest seasonal collections
Why “Stretch the Summer”?
Because modern fashion demands more than just good looks. Your designs need to move with the body, hold their shape, withstand heat and water, and support confident self-expression. Whether it’s a sculpting one-piece swimsuit, a statement co-ord set, or a flowy resort look - the foundation is always fabric.
At Friedmans, we supply premium stretch fabrics trusted by leading swimwear and fashion brands across the UK and beyond. From our cutting-edge print technology to our durable, flexible bases, we’re here to support every stitch of your summer vision.
Fabrics Made for the Season
Swimwear Bases Built to Last Our range of swimwear fabrics includes high-performance stretch materials that are chlorine-resistant, UV-protective, and engineered to move with the body. Ideal for both luxury swim labels and functional performance wear.
Fashion-Forward Flexibility Need fabric that sculpts, drapes, and stands out in motion? Our stretch bases for fashion are perfect for designers creating everything from streetwear to statement silhouettes.
Custom Prints that Pop Choose from our curated collection of ready-to-order prints or create something entirely your own. Our advanced digital printing delivers bold colour and fine detail on every stretch base we offer.
