ISPO Textrends Forum
Fibers, fabrics and other component materials play an incredibly important part in the sporting goods industry presenting trends and developments that will not be available to consumers until about two years later. Despite this, it is hard for designers and product managers to source the latest developments. This is the reason why ISPO MUNICH decided to develop a new area showing the best available component products in a concentration nobody else offers. A jury of trend experts examines all entered products and selects up to 60 products with the highest degree of innovation. The selected companies will benefit from an exclusive presentation in the very unique ISPO Textrends Forum, the must-see platform for all sportswear, fashion and accessories designers and product managers. And this is only one of several benefits which accompany this opportunity.

Textile Trends Fall/Winter 2015/16
Visions for the Textile Industry
One goal of ISPO MUNICH is to be a gateway for future trends. In cooperation with trend experts ISPO MUNICH studied various global trends with influence on the textile industry and its products. In combination with the defined trend colors and five more detailed textile trends, these mega trends provide a good vision where the future of textiles will take us. ISPO MUNICH is very pleased to have the opportunity to share these visions for Fall/Winter 2015/16 with the textile industry and to use these trends as a basic guideline for ISPO Textrends Forum 2014. The mega trends show visions that are not specific to one particular area but will influence the entire textile chain right down to the consumer. The color cards and the textile trends result from a range of influences, from consumer behavior to the global economy. Film, music, social media, art and many other activities are reflected in these trends. They form a basic guideline how new developments and innovations of ingredient products will be shown, presented and highlighted at ISPO Textrends Forum 2014.
Mega Trends Autumn/Winter 15/16 TRANSPARENCY With the furore of social media, the need for brands to adhere to strong environmental, sustainable and socially acceptable levels of conduct is key through the entire supply chain. The consumer is in control, especially through Twitter and Facebook, as today’s news and views travel fast! Transparency is essential in delivering the demands. It is no longer just a case of pursuing eco friendly and sustainable processes purely in the textile chain; social responsibility and a strong sense of ethics in the activewear sector dictate the end purchasing power. IDIOSYNCRATIC Being distinctive from the competition drives the activewear market. Fabrics continue to perform but it is the new generation of multi-functional fabrics that continue in a lighter, smarter direction, offering added comfort and function to existing favorites. Embedded technology and intelligent fabrics form part of this digital decade, bringing together a connection with today’s globalized market. Differentiation is the name of the game, utilizing unique processes and finishes in delivering a quirky yet quintessential style. Interactive, intelligent and fashionable, the goal is to offer stimulating products with a sense of personalization in a competitive market. BALANCE In a frenetic world consumers will pursue recreational activities to bring a balance into their lives. The trend for wellbeing continues, physically, mentally and emotionally. And easy aspect features, from light leisure pursuits through to the high-end performance levels. Health and performance marry, not just from the consumer’s activities but from the fibers, finishes and fabrics too, embedded with ingredients that enhance and protect the wearer’s well-being. Health and happiness go hand in hand at all levels of performance.

Color Palette Autumn/Winter 2015/2016
PRIME ISPO Textrend’s core color palette incorporating the bestselling activewear tones shifts slightly sharper up the color spectrum for the season. Black, winter sun and alpine blue sit alongside blazing orange and fir cone brown. The core tones can be used bright for a modern application or taken down for an aged aspect. The season’s new complimenting satellite color palettes take inspiration from both natural sources and the man-made world, offering and creating a harmonious connection for the activewear sector.

Textile Trend 1 COLLABORATE Natural fibers continue to evolve in the activewear sector, revving up revolutionary new developments. Wool and cotton are kept pure or partnered with eco-conscious recycled synthetic counterparts and bio-synthetic options for new hybrid blends. Recycled synthetics enhance natural aspects with nano technology finishes bringing the preferred eco protection to both knits and wovens. Natural to the core through touch and surface structure, it isn’t without function as moisture management, UV protection and thermal regulation all feature. Organic textures inspire surfaces, from soft moss-like pile fleece to embossed structures and jacquard effects.

Textile Trend 2 CONNECTIVITY Energized and compact, surface fabrics charge up performance at the high performance end of the activewear market. This trend is all about enhancing active achievements and well-being, the fabrics and finishes engaging with the wearer and amplifying the performance at all levels. Mineral based fibers increase circulation, innovative structures massage the body, thermal regulation, and moisture management and functional finishes take garments to a new level. Body mapping precisely targets key areas that need a range of performance from thermal regulation, breathability to moisture management or muscular support.

Textile Trend 3 ILLUSIVE Appearances can be deceptive with Illusive, as optical aspects and innovative fiber content create a completely different look to the final fabric and trim. Changeant effects, digital prints, heat reactive transfers, fabrics and tapes create chameleon-inspired metameric finishes. Camouflage is reworked and resized in new colorways and weights to offer a funkier direction, especially for the urban sportswear scene. Colored metallics also feature yarns and performance coatings, moving away from traditional metal tones and taking up ISPO Textrends’ ethereal color palette Phantom.

Crisp to touch on the woven front, for knits there is silky soft touch with a high luster.

Textile Trend 5 MAVERICK Rebellious in spirit, the younger consumer of the digital era is looking back to the roots of technology as a strong sense of heritage and retro styling from the resurgence of vinyl records to images of the original video consoles inspire, the forbearers of the smart phone and iPod, quintessential equipment in today’s global society. Key to this trend is a natural touch, soft plush surfaces and aged graphical prints. Intrigued with the past, the consumer wants the look but won’t forego the high-level performance that they have become accustomed to.
