PERFORMANCE DAYS FABRIC TRENDS S/S 2026

April 02, 2024

FiRST GLIMPSE ON SPORTS FABRICS S/S 2026

Performance Days in Munich, which took place in March 2024, is becoming increasingly exciting in the field of materials for sports and functional clothing.

I was particularly pleased with the focus topic of the fair, “Beyond Bottles – The Future of Polyester”, as recycling PET bottles cannot be the solution to produce recycled polyester. Moreover, it doesn’t solve the microplastics issue. Learn more about the focus topic here.

Let`s concentrate on the fabrics S/S 2026 at the trend forum where is a trend to grainy structures with cool touch. These surfaces reminded me of swimsuit fabrics:
