Cartoon - WEAR YOUR OPTIMISM

WEAR YOUR OPTIMISM

The new CARTOON collection as a fashionable journey around the world

20. January 2026

Fashion can’t change the world – but it can lift our spirits in seconds and give us strength. This is precisely the idea behind Cartoon. With its new collection, the brand invites women to wear fashion as an expression of joie de vivre, individuality, and optimism. WEAR YOUR OPTIMISM is more than just a slogan – it’s an attitude.

Inspiration from around the world

The new collection is a fashionable bucket list of special places – each destination tells its own story and translates its character into fashion. Places inspire with their colors, vibes, and lifestyle. Cartoon picks up on precisely these impressions and transforms them into wearable looks with personality.

London & Cornwall kick off the journey with urban coolness: leopard prints meet color blocking, bold tones meet modern cuts.

The journey continues to Provence and Paris, where feminine lightness takes center stage. Delicate shades blend with bold highlights, stripes meet effortless Parisian elegance.

Summery prints and fresh colors dominate on the Amalfi Coast. Inspired by lemon groves and the incomparable dolce far niente feeling, looks are created that immediately evoke a holiday mood.

The stopover in Dubai brings sandy shades, airy fabrics, and clean lines. Comfort and elegance go hand in hand here—ideal for warm days.

Cape Town rounds off the collection: urban cool meets nature. Relaxed, modern silhouettes reflect a casual lifestyle and show how versatile the Cartoon collection is.

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.

Discover the new collection
WEAR YOUR OPTIMISM.

The MUNICH FABRIC START team is delighted about the long-standing cooperation with CARTOON and would like to thank them once again for equipping our team with beautiful outfits!

29. August 2025

At the upcoming MUNICH FABRIC START, around 500 international suppliers will present their material innovations for all apparel segments in the FABRICS Area. The complete product portfolio of fashionable woven and knitted fabrics made of wool, cotton, silk, blends and functional fibres will be presented here. For the Autumn.Winter 26/27 season, we present some new products and highlights from international producers in our FABRICS blog posts:

PONTEX

The upcoming Fall Winter 26/27 capsule collection of Pontex is a testament to style, innovation, and performance.

Pontex presents a capsule collection for Autumn/Winter 26/27, embodying style, innovation, and performance. Born in the heart of the Italian textile district, this new collection of fabrics for clothing embodies the excellence of Made in Italy.
Meticulous attention to detail and rigorous quality controls on raw materials and finishes result in premium fabrics designed for longevity and unique garment creation.

The Fall Winter Fabric Collection
Velvet, the undisputed star of the capsule, is reinvented in a symphony of textures and sensations: three-dimensional effects for bold, sculptural chunky corduroys in cotton, modal, elastomer, and viscose, alongside smooth velvets in modal and Tencel.
The contrasts between shiny and matte, and the irregular and crushed effects in the Pontex Collection, make velvet a lively, soft, and fluid fabric, perfect for creating enveloping garments like jackets, shirts, and trousers. Pontex focuses its research on performance materials: interactive fabrics that change color and react to movement and temperature; fluid structures with materials that move organically, creating optical and volumetric effects; and padded and quilted fabrics enhanced by the nobility of cupro.
The collection also features cottons with structured texture and blended fabrics with micro-relief structures and three-dimensional effects, adding depth and originality to every creation, as well as Tencel and modal blends with cotton.
These unique compositions have been specially developed to offer a warm and enveloping feel: sanding treatments on the right face provide a delicate peach effect, while napping on the reverse side creates a soft, sweatshirt-like sensation, enhancing comfort on the skin and imparting a pleasant sense of warmth and protection.

PONTEX

Finishes and dyes
The dedication of Pontex to durability results in innovative finishes and dyes. These treatments not only increase fabric resistance but also transform it over time. Washing after washing, the fabric acquires a unique charm, evolving its appearance and confirming its inherent quality.
Thanks to its collaboration with Tintoria Emiliana, some velvets in the Pontex Capsule have been created using two particular and innovative garment dyeing techniques: “3D Spray” dyeing, manually applied with an airbrush to create a three-dimensional effect through color application, and “Laser” dyeing, which uses a laser machine to generate unique and customizable designs on the fabric.

The color palette
The Pontex Autumn/Winter color palette features vibrant shades that enhance every nuance of the fabric: Cocoa Brown, Sage Green, Candied Fruit Red, Sorbet Pink. Each color is chosen to enhance appearance, exceptional resistance, and adaptability of the fabric to every need, ensuring the creation of garments that last over time and maintain their performance.

Fabrics: protagonists of a multi-sensory performance
The new Pontex Autumn/Winter collection is a celebration of velvets, heavy cottons, shirting cottons, coated and technical fabrics, and printed fabrics.
These performance materials are ideal for creating apparel that has personality, conveying strong, joyful, yet light emotions. Pontex favors a style of fabric that goes beyond traditional function, and makes them become protagonists of a visual, tactile, and sensory performance.
The finished garment is something worn, certainly seen, but also something that excites, stimulates senses, and allows the body to move in its surrounding space to experience new sensations.

Pontex: fabric artisans since 1972
With constant research and experimentation into new raw materials and finishes, Pontex creates durable and resistant fabrics, always ensuring high aesthetic and functional value.

A selection of the trend themes:

Soft Focus – Delicate blossoms blur across the fabric like watercolor.

Back to the Office – Classic patterns meet modern reinterpretations. Structures and lines convey elegance, professionalism, and understated strength.

Abstract Portrait – Faces and silhouettes merge with graphic elements – artistic, contemporary, and emotional.

At the upcoming MUNICH FABRIC START, around 500 international suppliers will present their material innovations for all apparel segments in the FABRICS Area. The complete product portfolio of fashionable woven and knitted fabrics made of wool, cotton, silk, blends and functional fibres will be presented here. For the Autumn.Winter 26/27 season, we present some new products and highlights from international producers in our FABRICS blog posts:

PONGEES – SILK WITH 5*-SERVICE

Pongees has been specialising in luxurious plain dyed mulberry silks for more than 90 years, working with mills around the world to deliver the best quality and price, with a 5* customer service, to all lovers of the Queen of Fabrics.

“Freedom and creativity are the basis for our fabric and colour choices for AW 26/27 as consumers move towards a more optimistic future and an individualistic approach to what they wear and for their interiors styling,” says Nick Moore, managing director, Pongees. “We expresses the new season’s trend in fabrics that flow and shades that are both natural and contrastingly bright and proud, all with a 1metre minimum.”

The neutrals, greys and earthy browns sit alongside yellow, paprika and red in silk qualities such as duchess and crepe backed satins, organzas, georgettes, tulles and twills. Pongees silks are an ideal base for printing, embroidery and pleating, which expands creative and innovative design options.

While silk is an inherently sustainable fibre, Pongees is seeing increased interest in its handwoven wild silks, produced from the cocoons of silkworms that are reared on protected bushes in the wild, feeding naturally on the leaves of indigenous trees. There are also tulles with zero, or reduced, levels of formaldehyde – a chemical widely-used in fabric dyeing and finishing processes.

Pongees mills have OEKO-TEX accreditation and utilise production from GOTS certified sources. “We have stock of all our fabrics at our UK headquarters and aim to process orders for meterage or samples the same day, for next day delivery. We provide swatches, first five free of charge, including delivery, as well as shade cards for all our fabrics,” adds Moore.

The origins of the present-day Pongees Ltd lie in Switzerland, a country that has historical connections with silk trading with China stretching back over many hundreds of years. In the mid 19th century Ostertag Hausamann Faes was established and quickly became a leading silk trader.

In 1931 a branch office was opened in London under the name Pongees Ltd – pongee being a generic term for a group of Chinese silks that were especially popular at that time.

The main business was selling greige fabric to the printing industry for silk ties and scarves.  Over the years the range has been extended to offer plain dyed 100% silks and blends as well as some synthetic alternatives for designers in all sectors of the textile industry, including fashion, lingerie, bridal, interiors and theatre and film production. Pongees retains links with the original business through our chairman Christian Hausamann, a grandson of one of the founders.

Fabric with Intention: How a Heritage Textile Company is Reshaping Sustainability
With more than 60 years of experience, this company is built on a foundation of craftsmanship, consistency, and evolution. Today, that evolution means embracing sustainability – not as a marketing feature, but as a guiding principle.

Materials That Reflect Responsibility
Their fabric collections are developed using a diverse range of sustainable fibers, including regenerated cellulosic fibers from responsibly managed sources, recycled polyester and blended yarns from post-consumer waste, as well as innovative bio-based materials that offer biodegradability or reduced resource use. Each season, they evaluate and refine their selections, ensuring that the fabrics they present to leading fashion and activewear brands align with both performance needs and ecological values.

Production Rooted in Partnership
They collaborate with regional dyehouses and long-time contract manufacturers, many of whom we’ve worked with for decades. These partnerships enable them to apply lower-impact dyeing techniques, optimize energy usage across processes, reduce water consumption and harmful effluents. Their local network gives us transparency and control – two crucial elements in today’s complex global supply chains.

Innovation as a Long-Term Approach
While their strength lies in weaving, they’re also actively researching new sustainable technologies. Among these are water-saving printing methods, alternative dyestuffs (including algae-based tones), and smart finishing processes that avoid harsh treatments. Although these initiatives are not yet mainstream, they demonstrate the company’s commitment to long-term impact.

Heritage Meets the Future
Their clients are global and their demands are diverse, but the expectation for sustainable sourcing is shared across every market. That’s why they design their collections not only for visual appeal or technical performance – but for transparency and accountability. They don’t claim to be perfect, but they do promise this: every season, they push further.

What Makes Our Approach Different
Over 60 years of textile manufacturing experience, an in-house development team with expertise in both fashion and performance fabrics, strong partnerships with dyehouses and finishers dedicated to sustainable growth, as well as transparent sourcing and proactive fiber selection process. Commitment to environmental stewardship beyond certifications.

They are not trend chasers. They’re partners in long-term progress – for brands, for the industry, and for the planet.

1920s Cabaret Ambiance: Opulence & Fluidity

The collection plunges into the theatrical elegance of the 1920s, between refined decadence and assertive sensuality. On fluid, supple supports, the designs abound in detail: large paisleys, generous florals, and sophisticated arabesques – a tribute to the ornamental.

Blistered materials add a tactile richness, with magnificent plays of relief that subtly catch the light. Tie-dye fabrics, with their graphic patterns and precious finishes, also feature prominently, underlining a masculine-feminine aesthetic.

Colours are deep, dense, almost bewitching. Patinated lurex adds a discreet yet luxurious sheen to the ensemble, somewhere between period sparkle and controlled modernity.

QUIRKY

Pop & Vibe Graphic Theme
The collection is illustrated by a pop, visual universe, punctuated by graphic designs in black and white or saturated two-tone palettes. The visual impact is immediate: strong, contrasting, and confident.

Couture Spirit of the ‘60s
Certain motifs take inspiration from the couture codes of the 1960s, with quilted effects reimagined in a contemporary way. A retro nod that adds a chic, nostalgic touch.

Figurative Storytelling
Figurative illustrations bring a sense of freshness to the collection: an accessible, playful, almost illustrated narrative that energizes the whole.

Technical Materials & Comfort
The selected materials are matte, dense and stretchy, offering a subtly structured feel that delivers both support and comfort – perfect for modern, clean-cut silhouettes.

HALO

Two Moods, One Futuristic Vision
Technical Light & Bright Future Light, iridescent fabrics in pastel or metallic tones evoke soft, diffused glow. The universe is airy, almost ethereal. Patterns appear in subtle gradations or quilts accented with delicate lurex, evoking a streamlined, technological and poetic future.

Galactic Night & Cosmic Brilliance
In contrast, a palette of deep colours enhances fluid or quilted fabrics, always enriched with shimmering touches of lurex. Patterns are inspired by stardust, creating a mysterious, celestial atmosphere. The effect is both sophisticated and sensory.

WILD

Palette & Inspirations
The collection explores a range of sophisticated neutrals: earthy browns, natural beiges, with a strong presence of deep greens and khakis, for a resolutely organic identity.

Raw Materials & Textures
A wild spirit emerges through deliberately raw textures: authentic woollens, frayed yarns, and hairy finishes. These details add an artisanal, sensory dimension.

Radiance & Contrast
Lurex, used sparingly, adds a subtle shimmer and creates a refined contrast between natural and precious elements.

Graphics & Patterns
Patterns are free and instinctive: mottled, moiré effects, inspired by bark, camouflage, or abstract landscapes – all nods to a untamed, textured nature.
