The guiding theme and dedicated focus for Autumn.Winter 22/23 at MUNICH FABRIC START celebrates and perpetuates the meaningful connection to unite the industry under the seasonal title ‘RISE’.

New perspectives bring us closer together and give rise to dreams, visions and collections that brighten and uplift our world. Emotion is infused in our future as we seek out joy and comfort with a warmed sense of connection. To get started, let us briefly introduce you to the 5 trend themes, which are also represented in the DIGITAL TREND SPACE as 5 distinct exhibition rooms:

SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT – We are becoming inclusive, while entirely new design possibilities open up – functionally, socially and aesthetically.

MIXED REALITIES – As we travel and use the World Wide Web more and more intensively, “IRL” and “virtual” merge into a new phygital world.

FIRESTARTER –  Design inspiration from gloomy techno clubs ignite protests in the mainstream.

COUNTRY PARTY – Luxury and design are travelling in the luggage for the weekend in the countryside.

RADICALLY HOPEFUL – When we think “eco” instead of “economy”, we can achieve a holistic, sustainable goal together.

There is no choice but to rethink, feel, plan, define and implement the system anew. Optimistic realists, scientists and doers who radically improve the environment. In the world and in the collections, there is plenty of room for circular and holistic sustainability through radicalism. Supply chains and product transparency become ambassadors to raising awareness and education. Global contexts are turned around with joy, enthusiasm and other people. Designing for multi-function is one of the goals; fabrics, fixings, styles and collections are repurposed and made more modular. Less is more, reusable is more and conscious consumption is more.

Designers are radically adding more and more space in their collections to circular, sustainable and holistic solutions. Half-thought-out concepts or greenwashing no longer meet the demands of customers (and many brands). It doesn’t matter whether up-and-coming designers work with passion on upcycling ideas or large corporations develop alternative materials, what brings them together is their common goal.

There is an enormous need for real contact again and we now meet in a ‘phygital’ space which exists between the physical and digital worlds. We strive to come together again, to see each other and use our tactile senses. With this, we find new ways to connect and pave the way for positive, hopetimistic progress, because this is the only way forward.

To bridge the gap between physical and digital interaction we have created this 3D digital trend space for you to explore.

The land here is more than pure recreation, it serves as a source of inspiration. Not so much nature itself, but the open space. The city has lost its appeal in the short term and the longing to party, dance and dress up is easier to do outdoors with lots of people here. Crystal glasses are packed as well as the openness, creative expression and power. Elegant fabrics, sequins, decorative ribbons and ornate ingredients meet farmhouse baggies and impromptu floral tablecloth dresses. Energetic colours with a touch of retro charm and patterns with theatrical expressions come into their own in a new and humorous way in rural settings.

It is no longer the rustic, simple houses in the countryside that fascinate. Luxury and design have long been part of the luggage transported to the countryside on weekends. Old cottages, farmhouses or chateaux are lovingly restored and renovated to a high standard. Between nostalgia, decadence and landscape, one thing, in particular, found a new home here: an innovative and creative lust for the countryside.

Rebelliously standing up for what is good with the courage to confront – fashionable as well as ideologically – motivated to act. Protective clothing in a new understanding – against external influences, both climatic and emotional are visibly flaunted by stylised power and oversized looks. Fashion incendiaries ignite with provocative chic and super loud bling-bling trimmings and accessories. Ego and community celebrate a rebellious bond together with aggressive statements and prints. Black and grey are fired up by loud reds and purples.

Fashionable incendiaries find their inspiration in the worlds between. Memories of parties in the underground, visiting a virtual rave space or streaming a DJ set are enough to ignite visions of provocative outfits with super loud glitter trimmings and accessories. With minimal lighting, their expressive bling-bling sparkles even louder. What is worn and shown here is a little bit posh and very exclusive.

The future is now! Artificial intelligence, 3D shops, 3D art, 3D textiles, 3D printing, augmented reality and its phygital spaces are becoming the new basis to explore and reflect. Aesthetic perceptions of digital styles, outfits and surfaces influence design and haptics in the real world. Digitalisation and especially digital gaming is awakening a strong trend towards a wide variety of technical surfaces and looks. The standard of faster and faster moving images and videos mixes with the longing for real technical materials and surfaces.

Many meetings, fashion shows or even dates that we used to plan IRL (in real life) now take place online. But even without gathering hundreds of people, we meet, watch and stream amazing shows. Technology has stepped up to find solutions. We have modified large parts of our daily lives to now take place online. We have travelled the web intensively and feel more and more at home in virtual spaces

Multi-layered cosiness stands for a reassuring comfort, whether outdoors or indoors. The same design needs are emerging across cultures in simple and good basics. Inclusion is visible and celebrated across the board, both fashionably and socially. Two-tone patterns, colour palettes and optical accents are lovingly used in small doses. Value adding information such as material origins and transparency give simple, functional products the latest edge.

Recently, the word global got a completely new sound. Where normally we travelled the globe, we are now globally united in the task of staying at home and staying safe. And everywhere, this situation gave rise to the need for a particular design. The desire rose for reliable, simple basics that stand for comfort, durability and a sense of cosiness – no matter where you are.

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.

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

Contrary to their 3D look and raised weave effects, these fabrics have a graceful delicacy with a smooth and flowy drape. 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.

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.

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.

WE ARE ALL IN is our overall theme for this season, which encompasses the four major trend themes for prêt-à-porter plus a concentrate forecast for denim. With this we recognize the exceptional situation we all will face this year which makes season a very emotional one.

When it comes to fabrics and materials, we encounter upcycling as garments are deconstructed or outfits are reimagined for new creations. We celebrate traditional art and seek specialist materials for important occasions. 70’s pop culture influences and shapes can be found in combination with soft protective wear and accessories with HAUTE NOSTALGIA.

Of course, the materials of this trend theme can be described as both advanced and reduced. Advanced includes visionary biodegradable plastics, recycled fabrics and circular materials that meet new manufacturing ideas and creative techniques. This results in reduced processes with fewer working steps, such as a reduced waste by using recycled packaging or whole outfits made only from an original mono-material to facilitate recycling.
