SUSTAINABLE TREND FORECAST

Looking to the softly sculpted forms of flower petals we find new directions for patterns that wick perspiration away from our skin as we mimic the veins found in nature that have evolved naturally to funnel water to the roots of the plant.

Fluid and translucent materials softly caress our skin with loose fitting garments that provide the ultimate experience in comfort. Pale shades of chalky pastels layer together in a pleasing harmony of relaxing hues.

Softly puckered surfaces recall the rippled surfaces of water as we look to ways to discover new patterns that support and protect the body. Abstract patterns of minerals found deep within the earth provide inspiration for micro textures in new jacquard technologies.

As manufacturers look to a more holistic way to create garments, the fibers used become central to the life-cycle narrative; organic farming practices move from the food industry into the textile industry and ancient fibers like linen become prominent players for creating low-impact textiles.

As the temperatures rise to shatter world records the need for cooling textiles remains vital. Long abandoned building practices from our ancestors are rediscovered and implemented to catch the wind and cool off buildings using zero electricity, inspiring our textile directions to also allow air through, using low-impact fibers and earth friendly yarns.
