Sipko Shimmering in Tencel Suit (1994)

Pity there wasn't a photograph with this article. It's hard to imagine Sipko shimmering!

SIPKO Huismans, the Courtaulds chief executive, was yesterday shimmering resplendently in a suit and shirt made of Tencel, the company's wonder fibre. Production of the versatile stuff - it can even be used in water-absorbent industrial fabrics - is to be stepped up to meet increased demand.

Courtaulds is planning a third plant somewhere in Europe and is pondering between Grimsby, Derby, Spain and Germany. Mr Huismans says his pounds 200 blue Tencel suit is a Spanish designer number. This does not bode well for Grimsby.
