GUNOLD
Cotton threads – conventional or organic quality; viscose, when it comes to nature featured in the fashion collection. Thick threads stand for homemade, for robust. On light summer fabrics the strong effect comes out twice as well. Shiny as metallic: sometimes really loud as a metallic thread, sometimes more discreet in blends with other fibers or finishes – the evening and then the luxury may finally start. And many special threads from iridescent, reflective to transparent or neon luminous.

KAHAGE BUTONIA
In today’s uncertain world, the new collection 78 by Kahage Butonia reflects the shift from darkness to light. It presents the latest trend colours, a range of different selected materials that have an exciting texture and colour combination. It is an interplay of shiny, iridescent buttons as well as calm, down-to- earth designs, some of which are also ecological. Whatever your vision: Kahage Butonia picks them up and puts them into practice in combination with the latest collection.

KNOPF SCHÄFER
Lightness and optimism defines fashion in spring/summer 2024. This is expressed in a new clothing culture finding its way into our everyday lives. Sophisticated designs with refined details characterise the look just as much as well thought-out basic styles. Our current collection reflects the new easiness in trendy colours, light transparencies and shimmering effects. The eye-catching appearance is contrasted by straight-lined shapes.

MEDIKE LANDES
The new ML13 Collection by Medike Landes presents early trends for the Spring Summer 24 season. The key themes for this season will be Metasensorial, Simple Nature, Tender Pastels, Flower Power and Sustainable Simplicity – mostly from their traditional tanned real leather with and without chromium. In addition to that, they present some sustainable paper labels in pastel colors, eco-friendly recycled leather patches with new finishes, Pinatex patches and vegan fake leather patches. The belts department features the Autumn/Winter collection 2023/2024.

KnitForm+ by Jeanne Mora – SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
20. 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.
