They explore how artificial intelligence and new technologies can influence and improve our relationship with the body, nature, and fashion. At the same time, the associated impact on information and consumer behaviour is questioned and confronted with a critical attitude and individuality. The contrast between strength and fragility, romance and modernity forms another key focus, reflecting current moods and translating them into fashion aspects. The final concept emphasizes classic elements, which, through new interpretations, cleverly link the future and the past.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;81929&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; media_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.munichfabricstart.com%2F&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;201814&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;331046&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;81867&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; media_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.munichfabricstart.com%2F&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;117186&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-lxmt&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;867202&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;635701&#8243;]<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>&#8220;Two action-packed days of the trade show have come to an end, and we draw a cautiously positive conclusion.

Everything that is easy to understand and not too extravagant works, which is also confirmed by Michael Berner, CEO of Berner and Sohn &amp; Fabric House agency, with collections like Altinyildiz, Arch\u00e9, Infinity, Lanificio Fratelli Balli, and Pontoglio: <em>&#8220;It&#8217;s moving away from plains and becoming more decorative again. Linen blends set the tone. Jerseys are also in demand for Summer 2026, but only if they are special. Customers are uncertain about prints: What is a modern pattern? Muted, washed-out, and delicate designs are currently doing well with us. The market is very tense and extremely price-sensitive.

The key theme THE CORE focuses on trends such as Collab Now, Deconstruct &amp; Reconstruct, Phat Flavour, Green Minimalists, and Second Hand Trends. We will delve into the fusion of tradition and technology of denim creativity and innovation. Here, a new energy of sustainability, fabric innovations, industry trends, insights into the ever-evolving denim market, and cutting-edge processes arise to shape denim\u2019s next evolution techniques. <em>&#8220;We live in an abundance market, which means, conversely, we must be braver than ever, instead of freezing in fear. Brands need to be desirable. They must evoke love. It&#8217;s all about love &amp; attention. Creating Lovemarks is not just a task for brands, but for all players along the value chain,&#8221;<\/em> said Tilmann Wr\u00f6bel, BLUEZONE trend researcher and owner of Monsieur-T Denim Lifestyle Studio. Collaborations like ISKO x bluesign, Evlox x Lamosa, Lycra x C&amp;A, and Sharabati x Sashiko Denim are just some of the many ways to evoke emotions. This focus on emotion was also emphasized by Hans-Peter Hiemer: <em>&#8220;Technologies need emotion,&#8221;<\/em> stressed the Style3D\/Assyst CEO in his presentation. 3D and AI are the solution to translating ideas into consumer needs within a digital product cycle from design to distribution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Join in, try out, inspire. This is what a successful collaboration looks like, and how to engage people, as demonstrated by the Denim Masterclasses of ENDRIME\u00ae X BROTHER X ISKO\u2122 X COATS, led by denim designer and lecturer Mohsin Sajid, whose workshops were very well received.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When it comes to awakening and stirring emotions, David Shah is the one to do it. In his keynote &#8220;Quantum Fashion&#8221; about the philosophy of design, the trend forecaster and publisher created a bridge between political and economic constraints, rich and poor, old and young, as well as cultural clashes, design accidents, and highlights. He also misses the feel-good factor of fashion and warns against quantum fashion, which only speeds up the cycle even further. Innovations outpace themselves. Perhaps we should look more to the past than the future. Exnovation instead of innovation? Shah provided the fascinated audience with many thought-provoking insights.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;588502&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;81881&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;135855&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;81883&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;107945&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;81891&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;193522&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;81885&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;177332&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;588502&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;175877&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Activator KEYHOUSE<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>\u201cGood in talking, not in doing\u201c,\u00a0<\/em>was David Shah&#8217;s harsh criticism of everything related to sustainability.

Integrated into BLUEZONE, KEYHOUSE was not only a focal point but also an activator. Over the course of two days, exactly the right people came together here: large fashion brands with high volumes were engaged in intensive conversations with pioneers and innovators. How can textile-to-textile recycling become scalable for the mass market? Which sustainable material developments, processes, and techniques provide new alternatives? Which new technologies bring not only efficiency but also emotion? These were some of the central questions that exhibitors and visitors addressed, not only during the lectures but also at the exhibition stands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>&#8220;BLUEZONE and KEYHOUSE together in one hall is the perfect match.
