Responsible manufacturing, sustainability, and transparency are key for Fall/Winter 21/22 with new innovations also notable for a strong creative element that sets the latest developments apart from seasons past. The result is a balance of beautiful materials, eco-awareness and performance, defining characteristics that carry over to modern print and dye techniques, digitalization and novel constructions.

The ISPO Textrends Hub will present these next generation fabrications – a juried selection of 480 items from 10 categories -- for sports and outdoor at the ISPO Munich trade fair Jan 26-29. “I don’t think I saw any article without the word eco-friendly,” commented jury member Giussy Bettoni, CEO and founder of C.L.A.S.S., who added, “Now is the time to inform in a different way. There is a lot of good work happening in the industry, that’s for sure.”

The jury’s findings highlight three key trends: new yarn blends and recycled yarns that go beyond basic with appealing aesthetic without sacrificing performance qualities; the need for textile circularity ushers in a new breed of hybrid fabrications; and Street Sports fabrications take a big leap forward in Fall/Winter 21/22 with the merging of fashion and functionality.
