DESIGN STUDIOS
The DESIGN STUDIOS area offers creative input, progressive ideas and new designs.
In Studio 1 DS (firstfloor), textile designers and trend agencies from all over the world show their fabric designs and latest developments for prints and patterns.
Some exhibitors in this area are:
KUNSTUNIVERSITÄT LINZ | LICA DESIGN STUDIO | STUDIO SPLASH
KUNSTUNIVERSITÄT LINZ
Students from the textil.kunst.design department at the University of Art and Design Linz present a selection of experimental, handmade textile designs. The exhibited designs are characterised by the versatile use of craftsmanship and technology. Using screen printing, latex, paper, transfer printing and jacquard fabric, a wide range of textures, patterns and colour play is created. On display are individual visions of workshop-operated and therefore independent textile production for the Spring/Summer 25 season.
LICA DESIGN STUDIO
It is a warm summer day. The guests gather in a beautiful wild garden filled with scribbled bushes and hand-painted flowers in red and orange tones. You feel at ease in this peaceful home. A breath of the fresh air reminds you of summer holidays at the beach when you were a child. The laughter and cheerful chatter pulls you back into the here and now. Your eyes wander over the table: Citrus fruits embellish the dusky-pink linen table cloth. A glass of rose wine blends in, giving a watercolor effect.
STUDIO SPLASH
Delicate but multicoloured, soft and bold – that’s how Studio Splash welcomes the new spring/summer season 2025. From abstract textures inspired by art and nature to geometric arrangements and unique compositions, each print tells a story of creativity and individuality. They are passionate about creating fashion placement and panneau-prints for women’s wear. The designs are trend based combined with a keen eye on commercial appeal. Spring is not just a season, it’s a celebration of colours!

MUNICH FABRIC START – January 26 closing report
A solid trade show. An optimistic mindset. That sums up the outcome of MUNICH FABRIC START. After three days, the Munich textile fair came to an end yesterday, Thursday, with the integrated show-in-shows BLUEZONE, KEYHOUSE and THE SOURCE. 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.
