Sustainability has become increasingly important at ISPO and this trend continued to develop.
The 44th Munich Fabric Start set another milestone, showcasing more than 1,800 collections from international fabrics and accessories suppliers. New technologies, innovative sustainable materials, special dyeing and finishing processes, shine, colour and prints where the main focus of the event.
A definite among the fashion favourites for the next summer season is the range of intensive colours, translated into new nuances. Combined with shine, from iridescent and Lurex and lame, through to lacquered finishes.
Offering great potential are current developments and innovations in the field of sustainability that serves a huge spectrum of smart solutions and natural processes. Awareness of natural production methods and resource saving is growing noticeably along the sector's entire value-added chain. Numerous approaches from recycling and closed-loop systems through to natural dyeing processes form further focal points which are further developed and feature an ever wider and heavier weighting on the market.
The next Munich Fabric Start on the Autumn/Winter 19/20 season will run from 4-6 September 2018. As usual, Bluezone suppliers will be showcasing their latest product developments in concentrated form at the Zenith venue from 4-5 September.
