Fabrics Highlights for Spring.Summer 2024 - Part IV
In the FABRICS Area, around 600 international suppliers present their material innovations for all apparel segments. The complete product portfolio of fashionable woven and knitted fabrics made of wool, cotton, silk, blends and functional fibers is represented here. For the Spring.Summer 24 season, we present some highlights from international producers in our FABRICS blogposts:
MANIFUTURA
Manifutura of Ege Organics Group, by its commitment to sustainability, has taken action in Regenerative organic cotton and Hemp farms projects to give the buzzwords of fashion brands “SUSTAINABLE, TRANSPARENT & FAIR” meaning. Check out our Turkish organic cotton-hemp blends for Spring and Summer 2024 season and simply get the chance to actively create a transparent supply chain.
MERT IPEK
Since the very beginning, Mert Ipek uses only natural fibres, mainly: silk, linen/hemp and wool. Not only in terms of materials, but the way it’s produced is important to have a sustainable production line. And with this taken in its full implications comes around to one of the major issues of our time, global warming or climate change. The promotion of the use of natural fibres as CO2 neutral resource contributes to a greener planet.
MUEHLMEIER
MUEHLMEIER offers a toolbox of eco-optimized and circular M-BraCups which is now fully certified to GRS Standard. Recent additions are NOS BraCups – readily available – with 100% recycled GRS certified PES cover fabric or 100% recycled SPACER cups. Under the motto „Next Generation SPACER“, MUEHLMEIER has develop a new versatile collection of M-SPACER BraCups withbreathtakingnew material and design compositions. To serve the trend-setting potential „Statement Shoulders“, the specialist offers accentuated M-ShoulderPads for every style and in eco-optimized versions.
PICCHI
The new summer collection of Picchi was born with the spirit of the old craftmanship that made Prato and Picchi, in particular, great. Their finishing plant is equipped with mechanical machinery to achieve the luxury of Picchi’s craftmanship and handmade works for the best quality and designs that are available as a mix of fibers from linen, viscose and cotton.

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.
