ISPO Textrends will be held in Germany, February 3 to 6, 2019. This is a platform for designers and product managers to discover the latest fabrics, fibers, trims, and accessories for sports, and outdoor apparel. It will cover a host of topics from digitalisation, micro factories to the dawning of a new era in sustainability.
With micro factory becoming a more prominent feature in the industry, a session will show that a fully integrated, fully automated and adaptable workflow process from design concept to finished garment is possible with digital technology.
A textile trend consultant will share ISPO Textrends’ mega trends, color palettes and textile trend directions daily, which connects to the latest developments for fall/winter ’20/’21. There will also be a discussion of a borderless sports industry.
A view on the social and economic developments of the next decade and its impact on the industry will be another topic. The textiles chain is changing, driven by the demand of consumers, as transparency and traceability, to a renewed waste-less, recycled and reuse attitude, come to the forefront. A smart approach to textiles is also happening, from innovative sustainable solutions to artificial intelligence, illustrating how new technology can be introduced into the entire textile chain.
