We’re feeling the synthetic fiber fantasy this #FashionFriday with a look at Qiana, a faux-silk nylon released by DuPont in 1968. Named “Fiber Y” during its development and submitted for patent in 1962 under the name of “homopolyamide of recurring bis (paraaminocyclohexyl) methane-azelamide units”, the company later generated the product name from a “computerized combination of random letters”. At the time of its release, the product was marketed as a fabric for high-end designer couture. It’s June 28, 1968 debut occurred in Chicago’s First National City Bank Auditorium to much fanfare, with six Qiana-clad models, escorted by armed guards to fend off over-eager competitors looking to secure a sample of the fabric. By the 1970s, however, the fabric’s most common application was in the production of men’s disco shirts.

This photograph was taken in 1970 and is from the Hagley Library’s collection of DuPont Textile Fibers Product Information photographs (Acc. 1984.259). You can view more items from this collection by visiting its page in our Digital Archives.
