The next edition of ISPO Munich from February 03-06, 2019 will house the leading textile innovations in the ISPO Textrends Forum. The forum will enable its visitors to easily access new products and innovations that define the season. Awardees at the forum will be automatically included into the seasonal Trend Book with photos of the winning products combined with direct contact info and full descriptions.

The products will be judged by an international jury of textile experts from all aspects of the market in November 2018. The selected products will be awarded Best Product, Top 10 and Selection for each sector, with all awarded a place within the ISPO Textrends forum plus the additional benefit of marketing.

This year, two new areas will be highlighted for the Fall/Winter 20/21 edition at ISPO Textrends. The first of these include the Performance Finishes developed to highlight the development from chemical finishing companies. More brands are looking to using layering technology in their fabrics, and through the latest scientific developments many functional factors can be added to a fabric through finishing.

The second segment to be highlighted includes the Natural Generation that has been incorporated to cater to the growing demand for natural fabrics with performance. Applications to this new sector must have a minimum of 80 per cent natural ingredients as the proprietary fiber.
