Denim Trend #5: Youngtimers

SS 2022 DENIM TREND ANALYSIS: YOUNGTIMERS

12. April 2021

As we enter a new decade of denim, we see how the ongoing current global crisis does not limit us, we keep each other safe as it keeps us in but WE ARE ALL IN this together. Our denim world is shaped by the world’s reactions, anticipations and innovations. We look forward with strength and prospects for what we achieve today.

The five denim trends reveal the blueprints for a new physical and digital future, our new ‘phygital’ world. A new urbanity shows us a life in harmony with Mother Earth. Ethnic influences brought back from world travels are key to understanding what will nourish us and without a doubt, blow our denim heads in the upcoming seasons.

Spring.Summer 2022 Material Highlights

9. April 2021

Take a closer look at the material highlights for Spring.Summer 22 in a diverse selection of menswear and suiting handpicked by the Munich Fabric Start trend team.

Comfort is key across mens tailoring, jackets and suits this season. Classic compositions are injected with blends of linen, wool-linen mix or cotton-linens to assume a more woollen and informal look with a softer feel. Flecked and slubbed yarns inject subtle irregularities in plains for a more natural look and feel. Varying weights and stretch lend these fabrics to both a modern, tailored look and feel as well as an oversized or loose fit.

Checks and stripes make a high impact, whether in the wider set windowpane or smaller set checks with high contrasts in darks and lights. Chalkstripes appear in new weights and heavily textured surfaces to embrace a kind of playfulness and visual boldness.

Ready to embrace the emotionally charged and exceptional Spring.Summer 22 season, our current exhibitor collections feature menswear and suiting fabrics in various handles, finishes, colour and blends.

Varying weights and stretch qualities ensure this bold look will appear in the collections for next season’s dresses and blouses as well as loose fit blazers and layers. Appearing in highly optimistic and playful colours, this mono look pushes texture as the real star of the show to make the fabric shine.

Spring.Summer 2022 Material Highlights

7. April 2021

Take a closer look at the material highlights for Spring.Summer 22 in a diverse selection of linen blends handpicked by the Munich Fabric Start trend team.

Often underestimated, the fiber made of flax typically stands for a strong and breathable material. There has been a huge surge in research and development to explore the new possibilities presented in linen blends, significantly changing the performance characteristics of this material.

Depending on its weight, composition and thickness, linen blends can be worn in any season. Medium weight blends of natural linen, cotton and viscose fibers with a touch of Lycra shake off creases that will be ideal for lightly tailored trousers, blazers and skirts. Whereas, more tightly woven and medium-weight qualities will be suitable for looser fitting blazers, dresses, skirts and pants. The range of finishes in combination with composition can produce a softer hand-feel or achieve a crisp, wrinkled look as required.

Ready to embrace the emotionally charged and exceptional Spring.Summer 22 season, our current exhibitor collections feature linen blends in various handles, finishes, colour and blends.

Summer Seersuckers

Spring.Summer 2022 Material Highlights

6. April 2021

Take a closer look at the material highlights for Spring.Summer 22 in a diverse selection of seersucker fabrics handpicked by the Munich Fabric Start trend team.

A fabric distinguishable by its crepe-like, crinkled stripes, it is lightweight, durable, and incredibly breathable and has become a well-established summer staple. With its distinctive stripes, seersucker is commonly used to produce dresses, shorts, suits and shirts. The versatile fabric is also increasingly used in active wear thanks to its uneven texture with a puckered structure – it gives the wearer good air circulation, while sitting away from the skin which helps to keep the wearer cool and dry.

Ready to embrace the emotionally charged and exceptional Spring.Summer 22 season, our current exhibitor collections feature seersucker in various handles, colour, blends and fibers.
