materias renovadas

Spanish to English Art/Literary Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Spring/Summer knitwear collection
las materias :

Trabajamos materias naturales y renovadas buscando mezclas que nos permitan
realizar distintas estructuras , esta es una premisa imprescindible al realizar esta colección.

en punto

Hilos de lino que se mezclan formando exagerados flamas. Crepe de algodón en gag 12 con exagerados calados posicionados. Las viscosas en punto combinan con lycra para conseguir un efecto compacto. Todas estas materias para una colección de look delicado y depurado .

"renovadas" does this mean secondhand or recycled materials? Preloved?

Discussion

Helena Chavarria Jun 26, 2014:
In cases such as these I usually try to keep to the original. Although 'innovative' works well, I wouldn't use it simply because the original doesn't say 'materias naturales e innovadores'.
Lorna O'Donoghue (asker) Jun 26, 2014:
Explanation from client Que quieren decir con "materias renovadas"? Son materias recicladas?
No se trata de materias recicladas, sino de una nueva manera de construir los hilos, una forma diferente de la habitual

renewed fabrics (materials)

I understand it to mean that the threads are the same: cotton, silk, etc. but they have blended them in a new way, to produce renewed fabrics.

My reference is from Italy.

Always a must in the sportswear trends, Parajumpers re-proposes the cotton fabric with renewed materials and designs. Parajumpers’ Maritime series is sophisticated and abounds with details inspired by the Italian navy.

Renewing the love for denim
The third and final theme is “renew” and is based on bringing innovative fabric concepts to the consumer. To accomplish this INVISTA is launching a new brand, LYCRA® Style fiber, developed specifically to meet the needs of the ready-to-wear market. In creating the brand, INVISTA worked with Innerscope, a leader in biometric research, to better understand what messages were relevant and emotionally engaging to the consumer.
“Incorporating these messages into our LYCRA® Style fiber brand communications will enable us to break through the clutter and resonate with our target audience,” said Hegedus.

revamped materials

Not completely happy with the suggestion, but can't quite put my finger on what is lurking at the back of my mind!

upcycled materials

'Upcycling' seems to be a (relatively new?) term used when recycling something into something that is more attractive/useful. I've often seen it used for fashion/clothing.

innovative/novel fabrics

I'll go out on a limb and say that from the context, this suggests to me that they are trying new mixtures to create new textures. There doesn't seem to be anything in the accompanying context to suggest that they are using recycled cloth.
