Aus der Branche

Der VIEW Premium Selection gelingt ein erfolgreicher Saisonauftakt: Am 26. und 27. Juni präsentierten rund 260 internationale Lieferanten ihre neuesten Trends und Materialinnovationen für die Autumn.Winter 25/26 Saison aus den Segmenten FABRICS, ADDITIONALS, DENIM und SPORTSWEAR in München. Die hohe Besucherfrequenz übertraf die Erwartungen der Veranstalter und bestätigt die Bedeutung des Termins. In diesem Jahr fand das exklusive Preview-Konzept der MUNICH FABRIC START einmalig im b-tween, dem ehemaligen Department Store des Kaufhof am Karlsplatz Stachus in der Münchner City statt.

Beide Messetage waren vor allem geprägt von der Suche nach neuen Trends, Materialien sowie technologischen und nachhaltigen Innovationen. Der aufgrund der Terminkollision mit der UEFA-Fußballeuropameisterschaft notwendig gewordene Umzug in die Interim-location im b-tween im ehemaligen Kaufhof am Stachus erwies sich als Glücksgriff. Die Location der einmalig als Pop-Up-Tradeshow konzipierten VIEW direkt in der Münchner Innenstadt entpuppte sich als optimaler Platz für Austausch und Kreativität. Der ehemalige Department Store am Karlsplatz Stachus vereint Mode, Kunst und Kultur an einem Ort und liegt in direkter Nähe zahlreicher Hotels, Restaurants und Parkplätze.

International relevante Hersteller wie Achille Pinto, Balli Rafanelli, Barth & Könenkamp Seiden, Davaris Textiles, Dutel Creation, Eton Textile, Fitecom, Lisa, Malhia Kent, Mario Bellucci, Nova Fides, Texapel oder We Nordic Label Studios präsentierten auf der VIEW ihre Neuheiten. Besucher kamen von so namhaften Firmen wie Adidas, Aigner, Alberto, Baldessarini, Betty Barclay, Bogner, Brax und Bugatti über Cambio, Comma, Drykorn, Engelhorn, Hannes Roether, Hanro, Herrlicher, HSE, Hugo Boss, Iris von Arnim und Joop! bis hin zu Lagerfeld, Leineweber, MAC, Marc Cain, Marc O’Polo, More & More, OUI, Riani, Schumacher, SET, s.Oliver, Sportalm oder Strellson.

Unter dem Leitthema „Intuition“ lädt die MUNICH FABRIC START am 3. und 4. September 2024 die Modebranche ein, sich auf ihre innere Stimme zu besinnen.

Die kommende MUNICH FABBRIC START wird auf einer Gesamtfläche von 42.500 Quadratmetern erneut zu einem Treffpunkt der europäischen Modeszene. Die Veranstaltung vereint Designer, Produktverantwortliche und Modemacher, um in den circa 1.000 Kollektionen internationaler Premium-Hersteller die neuesten Trends für die Saison Herbst/Winter 2025/26 zu entdecken. Mit einer klaren Struktur und einem fokussierten Angebot in den acht Bereichen – ADDITIONALS, FABRICS, ReSOURCE, BLUEZONE, DESIGN STUDIOS, KEYHOUSE, SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS sowie THE SOURCE – bietet die MUNICH FABRIC START einen Überblick über relevante Entwicklungen der Modeindustrie.

Eines der Highlights der MUNICH FABRIC START wird das Live-Event von Li Edelkoort sein, das als Private Lecture am 4. September 2024 von 11:00 bis 13:00 Uhr im MOC München stattfinden wird. Als anerkannte Trendforscherin wird Edelkoort Einblicke in die kommenden Modetrends geben und ihren Trend Forecast für Fashion, Textiles und Colour der Saison Autumn.Winter 2025-26 vorstellen. Zudem wird die Messe durch die Laufzeitverkürzung von drei auf zwei Tage effizienter gestaltet, was den Bedürfnissen der Branche nach fokussierteren Events mit kürzeren Reisezeiten entgegenkommt. Die Messe richtet sich damit an den aktuellen Markttrends, den Bedürfnissen der Aussteller und Besucher sowie den Veränderungen in den Reise- und Budgetgewohnheiten der Branche aus.

Innovativ gestaltete Trendforen und Präsentationen bieten einen Überblick über die neuesten Entwicklungen. Die MUNICH FABRIC START ist damit erneut eine All-in-One-Sourcing-Lösung, die das gesamte Mode-Ökosystem an einem Ort vereint.

adidas unveils the new Real Madrid CF home kit for the 2024/25 campaign, a predominantly white look with subtle detailing.

A crisp white kit has been a trademark look of the club throughout its decorated history; a look adored by the Madridista and worn by some of the greatest players to ever step onto a football pitch. The 2024/25 design is stripped back to the roots of the club, with a minimalistic look and the colour white.

The crafting of the jersey further binds the new kit to the club's DNA, by incorporating a bespoke houndstooth pattern using the initials ‘RM’ throughout the design. adidas utilised a 3D engineering method to construct the jersey in three levels, subtly imbuing the shirt with a layered RM pattern, creating a textured look and feel to add depth and intrigue.

Rounding off the design is a seasonal V-neck collar and minimal black detailing woven through the adidas logo on the shirt, shorts, socks, shirt sponsor and the famous three stripes, which run down the shoulders of the shirt.

The on-field version of the jersey is constructed with HEAT.RDY technology, using advanced materials to maximize air flow to keep players feeling cool, while the fan version features AEROREADY technology, which uses sweat-wicking or absorbent materials to keep the body feeling dry.

adidas and Arsenal reveal the new home kit for the 2024/25 season, that celebrates the rich heritage of The Gunners.

The club’s traditional colours of red and white with a slick navy addition, combine to create a modern looking design, that sees the cannon feature outside the crest on the home kit for the first time since the 1989/90 season. Previously seen on Arsenal away and third kits, the cannon represents an enduring symbol of Arsenal’s history which has been synonymous with the club since its inception.  

The new kit will be worn on pitch for the first time by Arsenal Women when they take on Brighton in the final match of the WSL season on Saturday May 18.

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO announces that it has signed a partnership agreement with the Singapore National Paralympic Council (SNPC) where UNIQLO becomes the Official Clothing Partner for the Singapore Paralympics team. Under the partnership, UNIQLO will provide LifeWear apparel to Singapore's delegations and officials at the coming major summer sports tournament in France. This comprises apparel to be worn for the opening and closing ceremonies, athlete village, and travel during the Games.

This is the first time that UNIQLO is providing apparel for a national team in Southeast Asia. The Singapore team clothing for the 2024 Summer games will largely comprise LifeWear items available at UNIQLO stores.

UNIQLO worked closely with SNPC to thoughtfully curate a selection of LifeWear apparel that emphasises function and comfort, while featuring modern looks that represent Singapore and blend seamlessly with the cityscape of Paris.

A red accent is applied to the accessories and lining as a tribute to the Singapore national colours. Touches of Singapore icons such as the orchid and the Singapore Lion Head symbol are reflected in the women's scarf and men's tie alongside a colour application of red, white and blue to represent Singapore and France.

UNIQLO'S commitment to diversity and inclusion
As part of the partnership, UNIQLO will also undertake community contribution activities with the council and athletes.

UNIQLO will be taking part in the inaugural Singapore Paralympic Fiesta to support Singapore's Para Athletes. Held at Our Tampines Hub from 4 - 7 May 2024, a UNIQLO Singapore team of over 100 staff and family will be participating in the Walkathon.

In line with UNIQLO's Next Generation Development Program, an initiative to inspire children and youth to discover a love of sport, UNIQLO will also join SNPC on their schools outreach efforts to raise awareness on Diversity and Inclusion and disability inclusion with programmes such as UNIQLO Access.

adidas unveils the team kits that will be worn at the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. With one central design story, all adidas teams and athletes are united under a design DNA that celebrates the unique identities of each nation.

All athletes share a passion for their sport, but this internal fire burns brightest around major international tournaments. In Paris, adidas will capture the flame that burns within every athlete through impactful fonts and detailed graphics – that feature across all apparel created for its 15 officially sponsored teams. To express the fire within athletes, the kits’ graphics, typeface, and all over print use a repeated line pattern which is brought to life through pops of color

Beyond team kits, adidas’ offering extends to the 2024 athlete pack – a 49-strong footwear collection which equips athletes across 41 different disciplines – more than 20 of which may be seen during the field of play this summer.

Das Kölner Modelabel ARMEDANGELS und der 1. FC Köln verkünden ihre erste Kollaboration in Form einer Capsule Collection und zeigen damit ihre gemeinsame Liebe für die Stadt Köln.

Active Apparel Group (AAG), manufacturer of performance apparel for the leisure/lifestyle and active market, announces the seventh anniversary of their partnership with the sustainable textile finishing brand FUZE Technologies.

AAG is the first apparel manufacturer to adopt FUZE’s permanent, chemical-free textile finish, and the only company in China able to apply FUZE in a closed-loop system. AAG leverages the platform to provide a range of performance characteristics to customers, including odor control, UV protection, moisture management, and cooling.

The FUZE finish utilizes gold and silver particles permanently bonded to a wide variety of natural and synthetic materials to achieve a range of performance characteristics. AAG customers employing the FUZE finish create apparel for the yoga, active lifestyle, workout, golf, and swimwear markets. 

Archroma has developed a new wet-fastness improver that helps brands and mills produce durable clothing, towels, linens and other textile products with long-lasting colors without compromising on quality or introducing hazardous chemicals.

ALBAFIX® ECO PLUS is a next-generation fixing agent that delivers a strong wet-fastness for all reactive dyes on cotton and other cellulosic fibers and polyester-cotton blends. It will not change the shade of the dyed fabric or negatively impact light-fastness. The product also avoids production challenges – such as foaming, acid hydrolysis and migration problems during drying – to promote efficiency and quality output.

ALBAFIX® ECO PLUS is suitable for jet applications, and for other dyeing and washing equipment with vigorous liquor circulation, and can also be applied by exhaustion, by padding or from the last bath of the soaping process after dyeing or printing.

Like ALBAFIX® ECO, the latest addition to the ALBAFIX® family has a positive influence on chlorine-fastness. When applied with double fixing, it achieves the same high performance on polyamide and PA/Elastane fabrics, as it does on cellulosic fibers. This makes it ideal for the production of swimwear, as well as sportswear and outdoor clothing.

ALBAFIX® ECO PLUS complies with global eco-standards and initiatives, including Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), bluesign® and the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) Roadmap.

Building upon an existing three-year relationship with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, adidas announced a formal two-year agreement with the nation's largest youth development organization as part of both parties’ efforts to spread the joy of sport to kids and teens in all communities across the nation. By coming together to help drive substantive, long-lasting impact, the partnership will serve as a reminder that through sport, we have the power to change lives.

Over the course of the two-year partnership, adidas will grant $1 million to Boys & Girls Clubs of America to allocate across Clubs representing majority under-resourced Black and Latinx communities in more than a dozen U.S. cities, including New York, Los Angeles and Atlanta. Participating Clubs will receive funding to provide kids and teens with sport, wellness, education and e-sports programming.

adidas will also contribute additional funds to Boys & Girls Clubs of America through optional round-up donations from consumers at adidas locations throughout the U.S. Through these round-up efforts over the course of the last three years, adidas has generated nearly $2 million in funding for Boys & Girls Clubs of America and expects this route to unlock additional possibilities for young people across the country.

adidas’ support for Boys & Girls Clubs of America is part of the brand’s promise to invest $120 million to empower Black and Latinx communities in the U.S. through 2025. Other investments under the Creating Lasting Change Now effort include Cultivate & B.L.O.O.M., now titled, adidas Community LAB, an accelerator program for social entrepreneurs of color, and sustained funding for S.E.E.D. (School for Experiential Education in Design), a strategic pipeline to welcome diverse talent into the brand and the design industry.
