S2G XR brings textile into a new dimension — live from Munich Fabric Start
At the heart of Munich Fabric Start, an unprecedented textile experience awaits you. For the first time in Germany, S2G XR (Style 2 Garment eXtended Reality) will present a live demo of its 3D textile configurator at booth A4.20 Not a teaser. Not a promotional video. A real, testable demo. And a very concrete preview of what is about to become the new standard for textile sourcing in Europe
The 3D configurator: a game-changing tool at your fingertips
At the Mitwill booth, you are in control: apply your prints live onto 3D garments, instantly view the final result in 360°, and configure a full product — no technical knowledge required.
In just a few clicks, you’ll experience a faster, smoother, more visual way to source textiles, built to meet the actual challenges of today’s market. And most importantly: you’re fully autonomous. No demo assistant. No tutorial. You test, you create, you decide. It’s your collection, your vision, your rhythm.
What this changes for the industry
This innovation is not just cosmetic. It addresses very real challenges: reducing lead times, eliminating slow communication loops, minimizing the environmental impact of prototyping and gaining in accuracy.
Digital textile sourcing, as envisioned by S2G XR, becomes a competitive advantage for brands and a true collaboration space for every link in the value chain.
In a market where speed, sustainability and transparency are becoming the norm, this platform offers a new way of working — without compromising on quality.
S2G XR: a platform born in Europe, built for textile professionals
Developed as part of the Eurostars program, S2G XR is the result of a unique alliance between three complementary players: Mitwill Textiles Europe for its textile expertise and product development support, SkalUP for its digital innovation and immersive 3D showroom and JAGGS for its brand vision and strategic marketing expertise.
This collaboration reflects a bold ambition: bringing next-gen tools to European textile manufacturers, while boosting visibility and autonomy for emerging brands.
Meet Mitwill in Munich and experience it for yourself
For two days, S2G XR invites all textile professionals to come and try the platform for themselves at booth A4 20.

MUNICH FABRIC START concluded with a stable visitor frequency compared to the previous event.
MUNICH FABRIC START – Between Attitude and Sensuality
The future begins where we reimagine it. The overarching theme of PLEASURE stands for fashion as an emotional space, as an expression of attitude and cultural reflection.
KnitForm+ by Jeanne Mora – SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
What matters is how the textile responds: how it regulates volume, distributes pressure, and transitions from flat to three-dimensional states. Process transparency is embedded in the methodology itself.
Cartoon – WEAR YOUR OPTIMISM
Embark on this fashionable journey and discover the new Cartoon collection at our store. Be inspired, mix and match to your heart's content, and wear optimism—every day, for every occasion.
RETRAKT – SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
Performance, in this context, is measured by organisational resilience. RETRAKT applies resilience engineering to help employees anticipate, monitor, respond to, and learn from complex and changing requirements.
MATERIA FUTURA – SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
Materia Futura is not proposing a new bio-material category, nor a finished commercial textile. What distinguishes the project is its design-led investigation into the emotional and aesthetic dimensions of bio-based materials, an area often sidelined in sustainability discourse.
THREADED PROTOCOLS – SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
Threaded Protocols is not a textile innovation in the commercial sense, nor a digital tool disguised as craft. What makes the work distinct is its material investigation into how computational logic originates in textile practice and what is lost when those logics are abstracted into opaque technological systems.
MARIE VILAY – SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
Marie Vilay does not present a new fabric or production technique. What distinguishes her work is a method of reading and translating textile knowledge across cultures, systems, and moments of transition.
Interview with Simon Angel, Curator of SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
Each season, the Sustainable Innovations forum brings together projects that provoke, inspire, and challenge assumptions. This year is no exception, with work ranging from bio-luxury couture to energy-generating textiles and regenerative materials grown from wetlands.
