Munich Fabric Start
AUTUMN.WINTER 26/27 FABRIC HIGHLIGHTS & MATERIAL NOVELTIES – PART IX
At the upcoming MUNICH FABRIC START, around 500 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 26/27 season, we present some new products and highlights from international producers in our FABRICS blog posts:
PONTEX
The upcoming Fall Winter 26/27 capsule collection of Pontex is a testament to style, innovation, and performance.
Pontex presents a capsule collection for Autumn/Winter 26/27, embodying style, innovation, and performance. Born in the heart of the Italian textile district, this new collection of fabrics for clothing embodies the excellence of Made in Italy. Meticulous attention to detail and rigorous quality controls on raw materials and finishes result in premium fabrics designed for longevity and unique garment creation.
The Fall Winter Fabric Collection
Velvet, the undisputed star of the capsule, is reinvented in a symphony of textures and sensations: three-dimensional effects for bold, sculptural chunky corduroys in cotton, modal, elastomer, and viscose, alongside smooth velvets in modal and Tencel.
The contrasts between shiny and matte, and the irregular and crushed effects in the Pontex Collection, make velvet a lively, soft, and fluid fabric, perfect for creating enveloping garments like jackets, shirts, and trousers. Pontex focuses its research on performance materials: interactive fabrics that change color and react to movement and temperature; fluid structures with materials that move organically, creating optical and volumetric effects; and padded and quilted fabrics enhanced by the nobility of cupro.
The collection also features cottons with structured texture and blended fabrics with micro-relief structures and three-dimensional effects, adding depth and originality to every creation, as well as Tencel and modal blends with cotton.
These unique compositions have been specially developed to offer a warm and enveloping feel: sanding treatments on the right face provide a delicate peach effect, while napping on the reverse side creates a soft, sweatshirt-like sensation, enhancing comfort on the skin and imparting a pleasant sense of warmth and protection.




Finishes and dyes
The dedication of Pontex to durability results in innovative finishes and dyes. These treatments not only increase fabric resistance but also transform it over time. Washing after washing, the fabric acquires a unique charm, evolving its appearance and confirming its inherent quality.
Thanks to its collaboration with Tintoria Emiliana, some velvets in the Pontex Capsule have been created using two particular and innovative garment dyeing techniques: “3D Spray” dyeing, manually applied with an airbrush to create a three-dimensional effect through color application, and “Laser” dyeing, which uses a laser machine to generate unique and customizable designs on the fabric.
The color palette
The Pontex Autumn/Winter color palette features vibrant shades that enhance every nuance of the fabric: Cocoa Brown, Sage Green, Candied Fruit Red, Sorbet Pink. Each color is chosen to enhance appearance, exceptional resistance, and adaptability of the fabric to every need, ensuring the creation of garments that last over time and maintain their performance.
Fabrics: protagonists of a multi-sensory performance
The new Pontex Autumn/Winter collection is a celebration of velvets, heavy cottons, shirting cottons, coated and technical fabrics, and printed fabrics.
These performance materials are ideal for creating apparel that has personality, conveying strong, joyful, yet light emotions. Pontex favors a style of fabric that goes beyond traditional function, and makes them become protagonists of a visual, tactile, and sensory performance.
The finished garment is something worn, certainly seen, but also something that excites, stimulates senses, and allows the body to move in its surrounding space to experience new sensations.
Pontex: fabric artisans since 1972
With constant research and experimentation into new raw materials and finishes, Pontex creates durable and resistant fabrics, always ensuring high aesthetic and functional value.

INNOTEX
Fabrics that captivate not only visually but also tell tactile stories take center stage in the Autumn.Winter 26/27 season.
The designs embrace various trend themes – sometimes subtle, sometimes expressive – and lend each fabric its own distinctive character.
A selection of the trend themes:
Soft Focus – Delicate blossoms blur across the fabric like watercolor.
Back to the Office – Classic patterns meet modern reinterpretations. Structures and lines convey elegance, professionalism, and understated strength.
Abstract Portrait – Faces and silhouettes merge with graphic elements – artistic, contemporary, and emotional.

BLUEZONE NEWS FOR SEPTEMBER 2025 - PART V
The denim industry doesn’t need more concepts. It needs solutions that actually work on the factory floor. This September, the first-ever Innovation Space at Bluezone will prove that innovation isn’t merely an idea. It’s something you can test, tweak, and take home.
Why Now?
At many trade shows, you discover new materials and wild concepts. But there’s a gap between discovery and real change: many promising ideas never become a reality. This Innovation Space bridges this gap through market-ready innovations, i.e., tools, materials, and systems with proven use cases and results.
For mills, brands, and suppliers who visit Bluezone, this is a chance to move past theory. You’ll see work-ready demos: centralised product management platforms you can begin using for free, immediately; digital product passports you can start piloting, traceability tools and impact calculators to measure your savings, and low-impact wash techniques you can try at a smaller scale. That practical focus makes this space useful for people who need answers now, not someday.
Who’s Running the Show?
Future Fashion Assembly, founded by Sofia Strazzanti, is the fashion industry’s first collaborative “innovation showroom,” a platform dedicated to connecting brands, retailers, and manufacturers with vetted, scale-ready solutions, bridging innovation and adoption in fashion. More than a curated digital marketplace, it provides hands-on strategic support to fast-track innovation with business leaders through curated showcases, matchmaking tools, and actionable insight reports. At Munich Fabric Start, Future Fashion Assembly is leveraging its expertise in sourcing strategic market-validated solutions and brand engagement to co-curate this activation.
Baytech-HMS is the creator of Hand Made Stone (HMS), a patented and sustainable alternative to pumice stones used in denim washing. Founded by Beyza Baykan, HMS has evolved from a material innovation into a platform for community engagement and education, best known for its globally popular denim workshops at Kingpins Show, The Mills Fabrica, and beyond. HMS is leading the creative direction of the space and interactive workshop sessions.
Together, Future Fashion Assembly and HMS are shaping a more resilient and profitable fashion future.

What Can You Expect to See?
This Innovation Space is designed to be explored. The key elements you can expect:
- 4 Curated innovators: Each selected for commercial readiness, industry relevance, and measurable impact. Expect a high-quality lineup.
- Tech Therapy Clinics: Drop-in, 20-minute strategy sessions for mills, manufacturers and brands. Bring a real problem from your business today, from pilot planning to integration hurdles, and leave with practical next steps.
- Interactive workshops: HMS will run its hands-on DIY wash session, and other innovators will present live demos. These are short, practical, and built for replication back at your facility. Visit the program agenda to learn more.
- Ask Me Anything: Meet Sofia Strazzanti, the CEO of Future Fashion Assembly, and find out why she built her curated ecosystem.
- Roundtables: Curated discussions on tackling adoption barriers effectively and the importance of collaboration.
- Networking Event (Day 1): A great chance to meet innovators, buyers and suppliers in low-pressure conversations.
Imagine this typical visit: arrive at the space, watch a demo of an AI-powered production tool, book a Tech Therapy session to discuss integration, then join a buyer roundtable to talk about procurement timelines. So you leave with concrete next steps.



Special Feature: Denim After the Loom (The Fireside Chat)
One of the headline moments is a 30-minute session called Denim After the Loom: From Stone to System. This fireside chat, a part of a growing global series initiated by Beyza Baykan, Managing Director of Baytech-HMS, began in London with the one and only Adriano Goldschmied. It explores the moments after fabric comes off the loom — the wash house, the finishing line, and the choices shaping a jean’s story.
This edition will bring together two influential voices in denim: one a pioneer of wash innovation, the other a driver of future-forward production; an honest, practical conversation moderated by Sofia Strazzanti, Founder & CEO of Future Fashion Assembly. They’ll discuss the friction between craft and new tech, the pressures around traceability, and the real challenges of shifting supply chains.
Speakers are to be confirmed, but the conversation matters more than names: expect a cross-generational and candid discussion full of lessons you can use on the factory floor.

Plantfur – by Studio iFOCUS
Peatlands, which are often called the “lungs of the earth,”, are delicate ecosystems that are under a lot of stress. These carbon-rich soils in the Netherlands are at risk of collapsing because of centuries of draining and intensive farming. When they do, they release emissions into the air. This environmental crisis is not only a call to fix things, for designer Iris Veentjer; it is also a chance to rethink the future of materials.
Veentjer’s practice has turned her attention to cattails, a plant that grows well in waterlogged soils and has the potential to change both landscapes and textiles. Plantfur, a surface material made from the cigar-shaped seed heads of the cattail, is the main focus of this research. These spikes are usually thrown away as agricultural waste, but they are collected before they spread too much and turned into panels that look like fur. Each cigar has its own size, so when they are put together, they make striated surfaces that are naturally beautiful. Not only is the material a more environmentally friendly alternative to animal fur and petroleum-based synthetics, but it also gives farmers a crop that helps reduce emissions.
“Harvesting cattail cigars earlier prevents their invasive spread and transforms waste into value.”
Iris Veentjer
The fact that SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS forum is featuring the project this season shows how important it is. Plantfur shows that sustainability can mean more than just doing less harm. Plantfur makes important points for the fashion and textile industries. What if wetlands were used to grow fur instead of factory farms? What if farming worked with climate resilience instead of against it?
Plantfur doesn’t just replace old materials; it makes a new way to use them based on ecological reciprocity. This is a very important lesson to learn. People won’t just judge the textiles of the future by how they feel on the skin; they’ll also judge them by how they work in ecosystems. Veentjer’s work shows that luxury and sustainability don’t have to be at odds with each other. They can be redefined together with materials that are both beautiful and good for the environment.

Introducing the Liz Collection: Where Heritage Meets Refined Craftsmanship
In intimate apparel, it is often the smallest elements that leave the most lasting impression. Trims and accessories, whether a woven label, hangtag, or patch, do more than serve a function; they help define the character of a garment. With this in mind, we are proud to introduce the Liz Collection – a refined range of garment trims and fashion accessories that pays tribute to the elegance, sensuality, and quiet strength of women.
A Refined Tribute to Femininity
The Liz Collection brings together the charm of tradition and the grace of modern minimalism. Inspired by classic women’s underwear, each piece is thoughtfully developed to highlight the lasting appeal of timeless femininity. It is a collection designed to enhance a subtle yet powerful complement to garments that speak to both intimacy and strength. From delicate hangtags to finely crafted woven labels and patches, every item is conceived to elevate a garment’s identity through detail, texture, and tone.
Emotion in Every Detail
Drawing inspiration from the world of fine lingerie, the Liz Collection incorporates a language of soft, tactile refinement. Every element is designed to evoke emotional depth and authenticity, from lace-textured labels and vintage floral motifs to embroidered finishes that highlight artisanal craftsmanship. These choices are not merely aesthetic, they are intentional elements that reflect the wearer’s grace and individuality.
A Palette of Understated Elegance
The colour direction of the Liz Collection is deliberately muted to ensure maximum versatility and sophistication. Soft neutrals, ivory, blush, and pale grey tones form a cohesive palette that pairs effortlessly with a wide array of lingerie and loungewear fabrics.
This subtle colouring ensures that each trim integrates seamlessly with the garment, allowing the focus to remain on form, texture, and overall finish, delivering a sense of elegance that never seeks the spotlight but is always noticed.




Crafted for Everyday and the Exceptional
The Liz Collection was developed not only to adorn the extraordinary but to enhance the everyday. Whether featured on a delicate bralette or a thoughtfully crafted bodysuit, our collection introduces a layer of sophistication that feels effortless. Each trim, whether a discreet patch or a thoughtfully printed hangtag, is designed to travel with the wearer throughout her day, becoming part of her routine, her wardrobe, and ultimately her story.
Sustainable by Design
Like all collections by the company, Liz reflects a firm commitment to sustainability. All materials used are recycled, recyclable, or reusable, ensuring minimal environmental impact without compromising on quality or finish. From label yarns to hangtag substrates, every component has been carefully selected to align with modern environmental standards and the values of the conscious consumer. Sustainability is not treated as a trend but as a responsibility, integral to our design and production processes.
The Liz Woman
The woman who wears Liz is not defined by trends – she is defined by timeless values. She seeks quality, subtlety, and meaning in the things she chooses. She is confident in her femininity and drawn to garments that feel authentic, elegant, and thoughtfully made. Liz is for the woman who understands that true style lies in the details: the soft touch of lace, the precision of embroidery, the feeling that nothing has been left to chance.
The Power of Thoughtful Detail
In an age where fashion often moves too fast, the Liz Collection is a pause – a return to meaningful design and craftsmanship. It invites designers and brands to reimagine garment trims not as secondary components, but as foundational elements of a product’s narrative.
Elegance does not need to be declared; it only needs to be felt. And in Liz, it is.
To explore the Liz Collection and see how it can elevate your next lingerie or womenswear range, please contact the team directly at H1 | C 14. They welcome the opportunity to share how careful design, sustainable materials, and refined detail can together tell a story of beauty and intent.
Introducing HOOK: A New Era of Timeless Elegance, Anti-Counterfeit Innovation, and Digital Product Intelligence
As the seasons begin to change and the crisp air of autumn sets in, we are proud to unveil HOOK, our latest label collection designed for the discerning consumer who values both style and substance. More than just a collection of garment trims and accessories, HOOK is a celebration of authenticity, sustainability, and technological advancement. This new offering integrates the rich visual identity of mountain landscapes with cutting-edge digital solutions: our patented CertiEye anti-counterfeit system and the JOINPASS Digital Product Passport (DPP).
Together, HOOK, CertiEye®, and JOINPASS represent a step forward in the way fashion brands communicate trust, elegance, and transparency to consumers.
The New HOOK Collection: Elevating Classic Elegance
Inspired by the serene beauty of alpine landscapes and the timeless appeal of traditional attire, our HOOK collection offers a refined and functional aesthetic, designed specifically for the colder seasons – autumn and winter. The accessories within the range – woven labels, printed badges, hangtags, and other garment trims – echo the peaceful tones of nature and the sophistication of classic design.
HOOK is for brands and consumers who appreciate understated luxury. Every element in the collection has been thoughtfully curated to embody quiet strength and refined taste. This is not fashion for fashion’s sake; it is an expression of identity—minimal, elevated, and purposefully created.
The collection’s logo design draws inspiration from prehistoric rock engravings, portraying a powerful eagle surveying the mountain peaks. This symbol serves as a metaphor for freedom, clarity, and unwavering authenticity – values that underpin the entire HOOK range.
Colour choices have been tailored to mirror mountain terrains: forest green, warm brown, and soft yellow form a cohesive palette that reflects the natural tones of high-altitude wilderness. Suitable for both men’s and women’s garments, these tones deliver versatility while maintaining a strong identity.
Sustainability is at the core of HOOK. Every component in the collection has been developed using recycled, reusable, and recyclable materials, ensuring a low-impact environmental footprint. In a fashion landscape increasingly shaped by conscious consumerism, HOOK allows brands to offer not just beautiful accessories, but meaningful ones.
CertiEye®: Next-Level Anti-Counterfeit Protection
One of HOOK’s defining features is the integration of CertiEye®, our proprietary and patented anti-counterfeiting solution. As counterfeiting continues to threaten brand equity and consumer trust, CertiEye® provides a powerful response. With this innovative technology embedded into your garment trims and labels, each item becomes instantly verifiable.


How does it work?
CertiEye® allows anyone – from distributors to end customers – to authenticate a product with a single scan. Using the dedicated CertiEye® app or a smartphone camera, the user simply scans the product’s unique QR code, which then verifies in real time whether the item is genuine or a counterfeit. This process is seamless, secure, and immediate.
The technology works by embedding non-replicable digital signatures into the product’s label or trim. These signatures are securely stored and tracked within our system, ensuring an unparalleled level of protection throughout the entire supply chain – from production to retail.
CertiEye® empowers brands with instant product authentication, enhanced brand protection, full traceability across distribution channels, and increased customer confidence in product legitimacy.
By incorporating CertiEye® into the HOOK collection, CHIC-JOINTAK are bridging the gap between traditional craftsmanship and digital security.
JOINPASS Digital Product Passport: The Future of Transparency
As sustainability regulations evolve, Digital Product Passports (DPP’s) are becoming an essential tool for compliance, transparency, and consumer engagement. Anticipating this shift, we have developed JOINPASS – a digital platform that consolidates product data, supply chain traceability, and sustainability information in a single, accessible location.
JOINPASS not only satisfies upcoming regulatory requirements across the EU and other jurisdictions but elevates the consumer experience. Embedded in each label or trim via a single QR code, JOINPASS provides access to a digital hub of verified information, including raw material origins, manufacturing certifications, carbon footprint data, and guidelines for care, reuse, recycling, and disposal.
What sets JOINPASS apart is its integration with CertiEye®. This makes it the only Digital Product Passport that includes built-in authentication, guaranteeing both the legitimacy of the product and the accuracy of its information. One scan. One code. Complete confidence.
Whether it’s woven into a label, printed on a hangtag, or embedded in metal trims, JOINPASS is fully customisable and compatible with all accessory formats.

At BLUEZONE, some 50 international Denim- and sportswear suppliers will present their most recent Denim novelties and innovations. Hall 2 will become the blue hotspot again. Parallel to MUNICH FABRIC START with THE SOURCE and KEYHOUSE, the Zenith area will become the hub of the international denim community with an all-round relevant event program.
ISKO’s FW 26/27 collection takes action to bring to life a new vision for the future of denim – one where responsibility, comfort and performance are together, and seamlessly integrated. Each innovation in this season’s range builds upon ISKO’s long-term commitment to sustainability and textile excellence.
At the heart of this season’s innovations is RECODE DENIM, ISKO’s most advanced circular denim technology to date. Developed through recycled materials and fiber recovery innovations, RECODE DENIM maximizes resource efficiency without compromising quality. By transforming end-of-life textiles into high-performance fabrics, RECODE DENIM reflects ISKO’s commitment to sustainability without compromising on style.
ISKO continues to expand the possibilities of denim with the introduction of several new fabric concepts. We’Raw is designed to preserve the integrity of raw denim aesthetics, this fabric resists fading, shrinkage, and distortion—maintaining its character even after repeated washes. FitWise is engineered for both structure and adaptability, providing an adaptive fit with all-day comfort, suitable for a wide range of applications without sacrificing style. Wondersoft offers a luxurious, silky softness while staying true to denim’s tactile identity. Wondersoft is crafted using environmentally preferred fibers such as modal and lyocell.





Drawing inspiration from a rich winter palette – featuring deep indigos, blackened tones and earthy browns – the FW 26/27 collection sets a bold seasonal tone. A notable element of this aesthetic is TINTED MANIA, a concept built around refined tone-on-tone color effects that create subtle depth and layered dimension across garments and silhouettes.
Returning to the spotlight is the signature ISKO™ Multitouch fabric concept. Within a single material, designers can explore a broad spectrum of textures, hand feels and finishing styles –from 3D effects and permanent embossing to vintage-inspired wash-downs. Each is achieved through responsible finishing techniques that prioritize reduced environmental impact.
This season’s collection for ISKO is not only a showcase of advanced technologies and materials – it’s a demonstration of how denim can evolve with purpose.
“This season’s collection for ISKO is not only a showcase of advanced technologies and materials – it’s a demonstration of how denim can evolve with purpose.”

ISKO™ Luxury by PG introduces its FW 26/27 collection – a bold reinterpretation of ISKO denim through the creative lens of Paolo Gnutti. Merging art, innovation and uniqueness, this season’s capsules explore new textile horizons by reimagining historic materials like wool, chenille and jacquards manipulating them and bringing them into the world of denim.
His vision? To create beautiful, durable and timeless products destined to become style icons.
Each of the capsules offers a distinct experience, shaped by advanced textile craftsmanship and innovation.
HERITAGE DENIM
A tribute to ancient Japanese weaving techniques, where denim craftsmanship was a ritual. The fusion of authenticity and modernity creates a denim that naturally embraces the body while maintaining its traditional soul. An experience that intertwines past and future.
CHENILLE DENIM
Tenacity! Denim meets the softness of chenille. This velvety denim offers exceptional comfort with a lived-in look that evolves over time. Chenille Denim takes on unique, worn-in shades during the industrial washing process. The unique texture transforms denim into a sensory experience.
FRINGE DENIM
The collection reinterprets the world of furs, creating a fascinating contrast between tradition and innovation. Each piece is a discovery, thanks to special yarns and techniques that offer a soft and voluminous effect.
INNER PRINT
Hidden personalization. The innovative print applied to the inner side of the denim brings a new dimension to the garment, with exclusive patterns and graphics. Denim that tells a story beyond the surface.
ART DENIM (Digital Print)
The future of denim is art. Thanks to the exclusive fusion of flock, ART DENIM offers incredible softness and endless customization possibilities. A wearable work of art, with creativity and experimentation without limits. The uniqueness of this collection is fully expressed during the washing process, creating entirely new and different worlds.
JACQUARD
A project that celebrates innovation in the world of denim jacquard. With patterns and textures sculpted into the fabric’s weave, each piece tells a unique visual story. The second presentation of this capsule promises a journey into denim that offers visual depth and a unique tactile feel.
F-LED RELOAD
The revolution of ready-to-dye denim. F-LED RELOAD is the new dyed garment that delivers vibrant colors and unparalleled softness. Denim that transforms over time, thanks to its extraordinary brightness.

FRINGE
Sustainability is also the heartbeat of every new creation through RECODE DENIM, ISKO’s most advanced circular denim technology to date. This uses next-gen recycled materials and fiber recovery innovations to create fabrics that balance responsibility with quality, preserving the character of traditional denim while pushing toward a more circular future.
“This collection was born from the desire to create something that will stand the test of time —not only aesthetically beautiful, but made to be worn, loved, and passed on,” says Paolo Gnutti.
