His role is less about gatekeeping and more about storytelling. He is someone who is continually driven to connect experimental design, science, and industry practice into a broader vision of what the future of textiles could be. Each season, the 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here, Angel reflects on his curatorial approach, what unites the innovators he spotlights, and the lessons the wider industry should take forward.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>What guides your selection for the Sustainable Innovations forum at Munich Fabric Start?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Simon Angel: <\/strong>I tend to follow what I\u2019d call the heartbeat of our shared future. I\u2019m drawn to ideas that question how we live, how we make, and what we value. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll see projects like <em>Wetlands Matters<\/em>, which asks whether a jacket can actually help re-wild landscapes, or <em>MYC_couture<\/em>, which shows us that couture can be cultivated with fungi rather than constructed with synthetics. Innovation often blooms at intersections between fashion, materials science, agriculture, and energy. What matters is that each project shines light on a new way to connect design, ecology, and purpose.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;81619&#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;100875&#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\/4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;331046&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;83207&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; media_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.munichfabricstart.com%2F&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;449219&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;161826&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Living matters<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;83175&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; media_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.munichfabricstart.com%2F&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;816437&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;351522&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Biotexfuture &#8211; BioCushion<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;83140&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;870369&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;107350&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>Wetlands Matters<\/i><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/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\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;331046&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;83242&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;237188&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;167155&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>What unites the projects featured this season?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Simon Angel:\u00a0<\/strong>Two things: poetry and purpose.

These are projects asking: why do we value what we value, and what role can textiles play in helping us live differently? That drive for connection may be the next frontier of innovation.[\/vc_column_text][\/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\/4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;331046&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;83069&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; media_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.munichfabricstart.com%2F&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;195405&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;690610&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Heliotex<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;83003&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;689745&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;296464&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"t-entry-title h5 title-scale\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>MYC_Couture<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;83032&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; media_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.munichfabricstart.com%2F&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;117885&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;108131&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"t-entry-title h5 title-scale\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Plantfur<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/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;2\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;331046&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;212480&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>What can the industry learn from the Sustainable Innovations forum?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Simon Angel: <\/strong>The forum isn\u2019t about providing ready-made answers. It\u2019s about opening a dialogue. Designers bring unique perspectives on human need and material potential, while industry brings the scale and reach to make change happen. When something like <em>Wetlands Matters<\/em> or <em>Plantfur<\/em> is staged next to an industrial research programme like <em>BIOTEXFUTURE<\/em>, it shows how speculative design and applied science can reinforce one another.
