Through the eyes of a fashion designer, I missed new dynamic lines at ISPO show in February 2019. This season, the trend of the fair is the change of a functional look to a fashionable lifestyle product, but fully equipped.
This is well demonstrated by JW365, the new capsule collection of Jack Wolfskin, which is an everyday collection for men: clean, stylish and urban.
At this ISPO the increasing efforts of many brands to produce in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way are encouraging. And of course there are quite impressive technical developments in material, function and in wearable technologies.

In additional to the usual graphic print motifs, made up of geometric lines and triangles, mainly organic, cloudy allover prints can be seen. Almost like a new kind of camouflage, they are sometimes very pale and subtle, sometimes in strong colours.
Helly Hansen has beautifully combined technical fabrics with rustic ones such as flannel check or sherpa fleece to create a technical, urban look. EA7’s Animal structures combined with white and silver are almost futuristic.
The female styles are often slim fitted and emphasized at the waist. A special eye-catcher were the skin-tight retrostyles like strapped pants of the high fashion brand Sportalm.
One of the strongest trends at the show was quilting: quilted down jackets and coats, sometimes oversized for women, quilted in large chambers or punctually welded.
Puristic clean jackets or coats as fully featured functional everyday wear is what many outdoor brands focus on. In addition to plain fabrics, check is also a must-have.
Workout styles for women score with blouson shapes in fashionable colours, the men’s collection is dominated by black with a mix of materials and decent prints.
