WA WOHLATZ ADDITIONALS
WA Wohlatz Additionals have already noticed a tendency in the last few seasons that, after the rather clean, almost basic-like styles, there is a shift towards sporty, colourful statements. It will remain classy and chic, but you can play more with details in the trim area here and there. Logo buttons in metallic optics, logo tapes, silicone patches, eye-catching zipper solutions leased with silver and gold, neon also has its place again. More new products will be presented as well.

YKK
Thanks to the scratch, corrosion and oxidation resistance of the material the new EXCELLA® zipper with stainless steel chain is strong, light and hypoallergenic and does not require any galvanic treatment. The latest collection of YKK also includes innovative products from the sustainable NATULON® line which uses recycled yarn for the tape and has a much lower carbon footprint than zips made with virgin polyester.

MUNICH FABRIC START – Between Attitude and Sensuality
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.

RETRAKT – SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
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
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
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
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.
