FABRIC HIGHLIGHTS & MATERIAL NOVELTIES FOR AUTUMN.WINTER 25/26 - PART II
At the upcoming MUNICH FABRIC START, around 600 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 25/26 season, we present some new products and highlights from international producers in our FABRICS blog posts:
LILABLUM
Innovative Tradition: LILABLUM dyes natural fibers with food waste, wood industry byproducts, and plant roots – an approach that is sustainable, and forward-thinking. The pioneering textile company blends tradition with innovation in their latest fabric collection.
This unique collection features three natural hues on GOTS-certified cotton and linen fabrics. The collection includes three stunning shades: Midnight Oak, a grey-blue anthracite dyed with oak bark; Rubia, a soft pink derived from madder root; and Onion Oro, a warm yellow-ochre achieved with onion skins. These naturally dyed fabrics are perfect for clothing collections, curtains, interior decor and much more.
Since 2019, Corina Rüegg has been strongly involved in plant-based dyeing techniques and has developed an industrial process for dyeing fabrics with natural extracts. This method is more beneficial to both people and the environment, as dyeing staff are not exposed to harmful chemicals and wastewater pollution is significantly reduced. Throughout the entire production chain, LILABLUM prioritizes social and ecological responsibility.

SERIDE
The new SERIDE AW 25/26 collection embraces multiple color themes:
ICY (right) – Combinations of blues and greys accented with a hint of metallic. This palette vividly embodies Iceland and cold weather with its shades of blue, white, grey, yet exudes a sense of reassurance and warmth through creamy whites and smooth dove tones.
FANTASY – The colors are rich and intense, capturing the shimmer of stars, the deep blue of the night, and the green of nature thriving near water. An intriguing combination features purple paired with olive green. The range of accents includes grey-blue, pink, and green.
“SERIDE’s color themes range from Iceland and cold weather to almost burning warmth.”
RELAXING (left) – Relaxing and comforting neutrals evoke the feeling of a hot morning latte or a frothy cappuccino. Milky-coffee shades range from cool beiges to warm whites, with creamy tones paired with basic warm greys.
OBSESSION (right) – Deep and intense, this palette exudes a warmth that almost burns. It’s a sensual collection primarily featuring reds and burgundy, with a touch of reddish-black anchoring the theme. A striking, vivid blood red takes center stage, while accents of black cherry, magenta, and dark brown add depth and contrast.
