Fabrics, additionals, denims and sportswear segments will be in focus as almost 80 suppliers will showcase around 300 selected collections with the most recent material developments and colour trends for Spring/Summer ‘26 at the Preview Textile Show at Munich on 3–4 December.
- This will be a precursor to the Munich Fabric Start, The Source, Bluezone and Keyhouse on 21–22 January 2025.
TRENDS: The View Premium Selection that will showcase the curated collections of high-quality fabrics and accessories display the following trends in five contrasting moods:
- Human Tech: People and technology merge. Technical textiles such as micro perforation, breathable membranes, parachute silk, synthetic jersey, lightweight or hi-tech knit meet soft and gentle nuances such as pastel stripes and skin structures in contrast to 3-dimensional prints.
- Against Algorithm: In a world increasingly dominated by algorithms, this trend favours the imperfect and the handmade. Lightly washed denim, crumpled checks, poly-cotton, terry jersey, technical cotton and bright knitwear are combined with graffiti, cursive writing, numbers and letters, scribbles, unusual mixes, batik looks and statement motifs.
- Naturology: In this trend, a world of fabrics unfolds that celebrates the organic interplay of materials and textures. The harmony of nature is reflected in light, air-permeable fabrics, double jerseys, regenerative fibres, natural blends, flowing knits, paper touch cotton and mesh. Nature as muse is revealed in artistic botanicals, crumpled flowers, exotic plants and mossy looks.
- Cluttercore stands for the charm of orderly chaos and the attempt to bring stylish order to the beauty of abundance. Fabric trends such as embroidered voile, delicate lace, crochet and wool-cotton blends create tactile highlights, while silky lustre and suede add luxurious accents. Patterns with rococo references, poetic prints, millefleurs and art deco influences add an artistic, romantic touch.
- Timeless Modernity: Minimalist, but never plain. Fabrics with a subtle structure and refined finish combine classic with innovation. With vegan nappa, coated cotton, clean, fresh poplin as well as upper denim and cool wool, natural materials meet modern technologies. Geometric prints and patterns such as bold stripes, maritime looks, embroidered initials and traditional multi-stripes set accents and ensure timeless clarity.
How these trends are translated into fabric and material innovations will be demonstrated by as many as 80 premium suppliers.
- DEBS Corp (JP), Paulo De Oliveira, (PT), Telatex (FR), Somelos (PT) and Tessuti di Sondrio (IT), among others, will be represented at VIEW Premium Selection for the first time.
WHAT THEY SAID
We are often asked why we don't enlarge the VIEW. And yes, the strong demand could tempt you to do so. But what makes VIEW so successful is the combination of the early timing with a smart selection of inspiring collections. We will retain this format. In combination with MUNICH FABRIC START, this is an ideal set-up.
