MUNICH FABRIC START – January 26 closing report
30. January 2026
A solid trade show. An optimistic mindset. That sums up the outcome of MUNICH FABRIC START. After three days, the Munich textile fair came to an end yesterday, Thursday, with the integrated show-in-shows BLUEZONE, KEYHOUSE and THE SOURCE. MUNICH FABRIC START concluded with a stable visitor frequency compared to the previous event.
MUNICH FABRIC START – Between Attitude and Sensuality
26. January 2026
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
20. January 2026
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
20. January 2026
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
19. January 2026
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
18. January 2026
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
17. January 2026
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
16. January 2026
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.
Interview with Simon Angel, Curator of SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
15. January 2026
Each season, the Sustainable Innovations forum brings together projects that provoke, inspire, and challenge assumptions. This year is no exception, with work ranging from bio-luxury couture to energy-generating textiles and regenerative materials grown from wetlands.

Denim Trend Analysis #6: Create
The latest Denim Trend Forecast by BLUEZONE explores the seasonal theme HOPETIMISM which stands for hope and optimism – it is a mindset that explores new ways and perspectives during a very challenging time to fulfil new market needs. For this, the BLUEZONE Trend Team has defined the coming seasons with two distinct consumer groups in mind. The first main consumer group is called HOPE which stands for a better world and challenges the way we consume fashion with a significant focus on ethical and sustainable fashion. The second major consumer group is called OPTIMISM which takes a more hedonist approach to denim and fashion, living under the ‘You Only Live Once’ motto.
The 3 trends shaped by HOPE are:
SLOW stands for timeless design where global manufacturing becomes local.
MEDICAL HEROES idolises our new protectors and defines a new era of clean workwear in denim.
NEW COMMUTERS responds to a real need for useful denim to reinvent utility.
The 3 trends shaped by OPTIMISM are:
FAST craves the latest in luxury and statement fashion and denim.
LONDON ACID JAZZ is a creative haven for global streetwear and new cultural influences.
CREATE is an explosion of contrasting textures, fashion shapes, function and colour.
