From the Sector

Trevira CS, a leading brand of inherently flame-retardant textiles, is set to showcase its high-performance fabric solutions for the cruise ship industry at the CSI (Cruise Ship Interiors) Show in Hamburg on December 3rd and 4th. The booth's motto, "All aboard with Trevira CS," highlights the brand's commitment to safety and luxury in marine interiors. The exhibit will feature an array of some 27 IMO-tested Trevira CS fabrics specifically designed for cruise ship applications. 
 
Safety and Luxury Meet Rigorous Marine Standards 
As cruises worldwide continue to grow in popularity, the demand for luxurious and inviting textile designs which comply with uncompromising safety performance is increasing. Inherently flame retardant and easy to care for, Trevira CS fabrics comply with the strict FTP Code 2010 Resolution MSC.307(88), Annex 1, part 5, 7, 8, and 9 for various applications, such as wallcoverings, drapes and decorative fabrics, sunscreens, upholstery fabrics and bedding textiles.
 
The cruise shipping industry requires high-quality fabrics for both indoor and demanding outdoor environments. For exterior use, Trevira CS textiles offer superior performance in terms of resistance to light and weather. This is, for example, achieved through flame-retardant and UV stabilised polyester, available as staple fiber and filament yarn. Such modified filament yarns are available in nearly 30 different spun dyed colours. 
 
Recognizing the cruise industry's increasing focus on sustainability, Trevira CS also offers recycled options under the trademark Trevira CS eco. These fabrics contain at least 50% recycled materials (pre-consumer or post-consumer). All fibers and yarns used for the Trevira CS eco trademark are GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certified. 

“Our trademark testing makes sure that the Trevira CS articles are made of our original Trevira® flame retardant polyester and that the textiles thereof meet the fire safety requirements of the brand and are fit to pass those of the cruise industry too. Needless to say, that also the requirements of other industries like hospitality, healthcare, rail and aviation are respected and can be met by Trevira CS® as well,” says Petra Krücken, Indorama Ventures Fibers Global Trademark Service Manager. 

The National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO), representing the full spectrum of U.S. textiles from fiber, yarn and fabrics to finished sewn products, applauded the administration’s announcement today of plans to reinstate duty-free treatment for qualified textile and apparel goods from Guatemala and El Salvador under the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR).

National Council of Textile Organizations President and CEO Kim Glas:
“NCTO and our industry leaders have long been pushing for the reinstatement of duty-free treatment for qualified textile and apparel goods for our CAFTA-DR partner countries. We welcome the administration’s announcements about restoring these benefits for Guatemala and El Salvador and continue to press for a resolution for the other trade partners including Honduras, the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica, while acknowledging that the administration is conducting an extensive review under Section 301 of Nicaragua and their human rights violations under a separate track.

“We sincerely thank Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC-09), Rep. David Rouzer (R-NC-07), and many members of the House Textile Caucus for their leadership and efforts in helping reinstate duty-free benefits for CAFTA-DR countries in support of the domestic textile chain.  Today was a first great step and we want to thank President Trump, U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer, and the administration for this important decision. 

“The CAFTA-DR region forms a vital co-production chain with the American textile supply chain, facilitating $11.3 billion in two-way trade in 2024 and supporting more than 470,000 U.S. workers in the domestic textile sector alone. However, since reciprocal tariffs were imposed on qualifying CAFTA-DR trade, U.S. textile and apparel imports from our free trade partner countries have declined 8 percent year to date in 2025 through July, while U.S. imports from top Asian suppliers have increased by double digits.

“The restoration of duty-free status for qualified goods from El Salvador and Guatemala is a critical key first step for our collective industries.  Restoring duty-free textile and apparel qualified goods from the CAFTA-DR region is important to bolster the U.S. textile supply chain can help bring some stability to this critical sector. The U.S. -Western Hemisphere supply chains stand as a bulwark to China and other Asian countries. We look forward to working with the Trump administration and lawmakers to find a resolution that will restore duty-free treatment for qualified trade for this vital region.”

Light and color — GUNOLD's GLOWY specialty thread combines these two properties fascinatingly. During the day, it appears in powdery, soft pastel shades, and at night it transforms into a contrasting bright green. Embroidery and decorative seams change their appearance as if by magic as soon as darkness falls. 

GLOWY is a fluorescent thread and glows under UV light. This happens because special color pigments in the thread convert invisible ultraviolet light into visible light. In normal daylight, the thread appears muted, soft, and delicate. In the dark, GLOWY begins to glow if it has previously been exposed to daylight or UV light, making it clearly visible. Reiner Knochel, Textile Experience, comments: "GLOWY is particularly suitable for use on children's pajamas. Parents turn off the light and their child's favorite motif begins to glow. Children love this, it makes them feel safe and helps them fall asleep more easily. This effect also works on pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals."

This special thread is also ideal for adding creative yet subtle accents during the day, whether on blouses, shirts, light jackets, accessories, or promotional textiles. In the dark, the luminosity of GLOWY highlights hidden embroidered logos, lettering, or even entire motifs for up to 20 minutes, which is approximately how long GLOWY's luminosity lasts. 

GLOWY consists of 56% polyester and 44% polypropylene, is Oeko-Tex certified, and remains luminous for up to 50 wash cycles. The thread is available in seven pastel shades—from delicate yellow to bright pink—corresponds to embroidery thread size 40 (Nm 69/2; dtex 145×2) and is very easy to work with despite its special properties. GUNOLD recommends using a standard needle, e.g., ORGAN No. 75/11 SES.

Kornit Digital LTD., a global pioneer in sustainable, on-demand digital fashion and textile production technologies, announced today UK-based Snuggle has expanded its investment in the Kornit Atlas MAX PLUS direct-to-garment platform  to meet increasing customer demand and maintain its exceptional time-to-market and its reputation for quality apparel.

Leveraging the Atlas MAX PLUS, Atlas MAX POLY, and a Kornit Titan Smart Textile Dryer, Snuggle can produce more than 24,000 pieces daily – all offering consistent world class print quality. The Peterborough company serves a broad range of online retailers and decorators with an array of print-on-demand services. Growing alongside customer needs, Snuggle has expanded its production space more than 3x since 2017.

“We were the first Atlas MAX customer in the UK when it was unveiled over five years ago, and have always been delighted with its ability to deliver consistent quality and an economical cost per print to ensure profitability in any quantity,” said Akil Thathia, Director and Founder at Snuggle, Ltd. “A key element of our business growth is directly tied to the power of Kornit technology – which is why we have invested so heavily in their advanced direct-to-garment systems over the years. Our partnership with Kornit is strategic to our continued planned growth and success.”

“If you’re looking for a real-world example of how digital textile production is transforming the industry – look no further than our partnership with Snuggle. The company has been at the forefront of high-quality, on-demand fulfillment since it was founded more than a decade ago – and continues to evolve and grow alongside customer requirements to match demands of a market requiring speed, adaptability and quality,” said Guy Yaniv, President of Kornit Digital Europe. “We’re proud Snuggle has chosen Kornit as the foundation of their digital textile production environment. Working together, we’ve enabled them to produce with the agility today’s market requires to rapidly grow their business. Partnership is the foundation to our joint success.”

The CHT Group is taking another step towards innovation and digitization in the textile industry: With the investment in the TSA Tactile Sensation Analyzer from emtec, the CHT Group is enhancing its capabilities for the objective assessment of textile surfaces. The testing device is used to evaluate the softness for an objective quality assessment of the effect of finishing agents, for example. 

Until now, this assessment of the hand feel has mostly been a manual test that requires a great deal of experience and knowledge. Since this assessment is subjective and also influenced by cultural factors around the world, an independent assessment similar to the existing color assessment and evaluation (colorimetry) in the global textile industry is an important step towards digitization in communication between individual business partners. 

In the run-up to this, many measurements were compared manually and using a TSA measuring device and evaluated for correlation. The comparisons carried out showed a good correlation of the measured values on different textiles (knitted fabrics, terry cloth, and woven fabrics).

Artificial intelligence has long been part of design – precise, efficient, omnipresent. At the same time, there is a growing desire for the handmade, for intuition and irregularity. It is exactly within this field of tension that the Heimtextil Trends 26/27 unfold: under the central theme of ‘Craft is a verb’, they show how high-tech, and craftsmanship are not contradictory, but open up new creative perspectives together.

Together with the founders of Alcova, Heimtextil presents a trend landscape in which craftsmanship and digital design methods merge. Tangible textures meet generative patterns, natural structures meet algorithmic precision. This does not create a contrast, but rather an interplay: where traditional craft techniques reach their limits, artificial intelligence opens up new possibilities. This gives rise to a new type of player: the techno-craftsman. He does not see digital tools as competition, but as an extension of his toolkit. Heimtextil Trends 26/27 thus address the current challenges of the creative industry: AI streamlines processes but raises questions about control and creative identity. The trends therefore focus on the lasting importance of craftsmanship – and how AI can meaningfully complement and support it. 

‘The Heimtextil Trends 26/27 illustrate how artificial intelligence will change the textile industry and, in combination with craftsmanship, opens up new perspectives. They provide the industry with impulses for sustainable production methods, innovative cooperation models and the development of future-proof business strategies,’ says Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies at Messe Frankfurt.

Alcova is not just about material and aesthetic trends. Rather, the curators focus on an attitude towards the mindful use of AI in design – as a complement to human creativity and as a means of relief and inspiration. This perspective also shapes their work: ‘At Alcova, we are drawn to objects and processes that are unexpected, experimental, even a little unruly – yet somehow find their way into our homes,’ explains Valentina Ciuffi from Alcova. ‘What surrounds us each day should provoke, raise questions, and invite conversation. That's why our focus is on projects that anticipate trends rather than chase them,’ adds Joseph Grima from Alcova. 

Six key trends at a glance
Six key trends illustrate how this fusion of craftsmanship and technology is manifesting itself in concrete terms. They open up different perspectives on how AI and manual design will interact in the future.

1.    Re: media
Textiles that emerge from the interplay of digital design and handcraft: drawings are first transferred into digital renderings, then converted back into jacquards or hand-embroidered patterns. This results in works that reveal the tension between different media. Motifs inspired by glitches – broken aesthetics, pixelated colour gradients and digitally reworked hand drawings can be expected.

2.    Visible co-work
AI provides the designs, humans complete them: in these works, the boundaries between craftsmanship and code become blurred. The design is created using artificial intelligence and is completed through skilled craftsmanship. Examples include digitally embroidered linen, 3D knitted patchwork pieces and generative patterns on classic fabrics.

3.    Sensing nature
Nature is the original source of inspiration here. Its forms, rhythms and structures reveal a diversity that is waiting to be decoded. Digital tools take on the role of translators: the rough surface of the ocean is transformed into a textile grid, while the lichen patterns growing over rocks are turned into decorative motifs through algorithmic processing.

4.    A playful touch
At a time when design is characterised by functionality and optimisation, small decorative details are coming back into focus – not for practical reasons, but for pleasure. A ruffle on an otherwise minimalist curtain, a neon element on a natural-coloured linen blanket or an unexpectedly placed tassel: such gestures act as deliberate interruptions. They remind us that joy remains an essential part of design – and that textiles can also have humour.

5.    Crafted irregularity
Fabrics with knots, irregular dyeing, visible seams and asymmetrical finishes take centre stage. These materials do not hide the craftsmanship but emphasise it – as a conscious counterpoint to the flawless perfection of AI-assisted design.

6.    The uncanny valley
Technical elements such as wires, connections and coils are no longer hidden but deliberately displayed and showcased. They appear as visible details and draw the eye to the inner workings of the machine, rather than its flawless surface. This results in designs that reveal what is hidden – and, with their playful expression, unfold something strange, almost alien.

The colour palette of Heimtextil Trends 26/27
The colour palette ranges from down-to-earth tones to digital irritation: shades such as sand, clay, soot, olive and tree bark convey stability, materiality and connection. However, this natural calm is deliberately disrupted by sharp, synthetic accents such as acidic green, digital lilac and bright screen blue. These ‘glitches’ create tension and turn the colour scheme into a vibrant statement.

From 13 to 16 January 2026, the Heimtextil Trends 26/27 will be presented in an interactive format in the Trend Arena in Hall 6.1.

The 13^th edition of Gartex Texprocess India opened on a high note at the Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan - New Delhi. The landmark event is being held between the 21^st -23^rd August 2025. Organized by Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Pvt Ltd and MEX Exhibitions Pvt Ltd, the exhibition is bound to set a new benchmark in the garment, textile manufacturing and denim industry. This 13^th edition of the Gartex Texprocess India features two new additions - the LeatherX Pavilion and the Textile Care Forum which makes the event more holistic and all-encompassing.

The Gartex Texprocess India 2025 has a record participation from over 200 exhibitors (35% first-time exhibitors) and 600+ brands from India and with international brands like Durst, Morimota Singapore (Kansai), Epson, Morgan, Jinjen, Groz Beckert, Brothers International, Jack Franc, Veolia, Amazon and more recording international participation from China, Japan, Italy, Germany and Singapore. The first day of the exhibition saw a high-level of engagement and was marked with vigorous activities across all stalls.  

Inaugurating the show, Chief Guest, Shri Manohar Lal Khattar expressed: “The textile industry is one of the largest sources of employment generation in the country with over 45 million people employed directly, including a large number of women and rural population. The government has taken a number of measures/ incentives to boost the textile sector and generate employment in the country. I give due credit to the two joint organisers for doing a great job of amalgamating the complete value chain from yarn to finished products here in Delhi.” 

Speaking on energy, Shri Khattar added: “Coming to power, we have extended several schemes, including subsidies up to 75%. Today, we are looking at the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. I urge you all to kindly upgrade your plants to renewable energy, as India is moving towards its Mission 2047 to reduce emissions. India had set a target to replace 50% of the energy by 2030 with renewable and clean sources but has managed to achieve the same this year.”

He was followed by the address from the Guest of Honour: Shri Rakesh Sachan, Hon’ble Minister, Department of MSME, Khadi, Village Industries, Sericulture and Textile, Government of Uttar Pradesh. He expressed: “The Indian textile industry is yet to produce indigenous machinery. It relies mostly on imports. The Government of Uttar Pradesh is taking efforts to allow industries to excel with special dedicated land parcels in the state. We had requested about 200 acres of land for the development of industries. Of these, we have received approval of about 100 acres. In another development, the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) is developing a 150-acre apparel cluster in Noida, which will be Uttar Pradesh's first textile park. The project aims to attract investment, generate employment, and boost exports in the apparel sector.”
Speaking on the US tariffs, Shri Sachan said: “The surge in US tariffs has hit hard, but this is the time to upgrade and create capacity, improve on indigenous technology.”

The expo was inaugurated by Chief Guest Shri Manohar Lal Khattar, Hon’ble Minister of Housing & Urban Affairs, India, Minister of Power, Government of India. 

The opening day saw amazing enthusiasm among both exhibitors and visitors. It was witness to many impactful discussions among stakeholders, putting India in the global textile eco-space. The highlights of The Gartex Texprocess India 2025 are ‘The Denim Show’ in association with the Denim Manufacturers Association and the featured zones of the Fabrics and Trims Show, Screen Print India (Textile) and the latest addition of LeatherX Pavilion and launch of the Textile Care Forum in association with the Drycleaners and Launderers Association of India enhance the platform by connecting the industry. The new developments add value to the already composite nature of Gartex Texprocess India. With a focus on technology and modernisation, the exhibition is a step forward towards setting global standards in textile manufacturing, denim, leather goods, laundry management and the overall fashion industry.

A journey into Warli’s world, timeless and multifaceted: ‘La lune sous le chapeau’, designed by Man Ray and the Dots indoor rug program, by Paolo Zani evoke the simplicity of design.

In an exciting fusion of art and design, Warli’s latest collection embarks on a journey that celebrates essentiality as a core aesthetic and design value. This philosophy shines through in two key offerings: ‘La lune sous le chapeau’, a lamp designed by Man Ray, and the Dots indoor rug program by Paolo Zani. Both pieces, while distinct in their origins and expressions, are united by a shared pursuit of authenticity and lightness of form, embodying a vision where formal simplicity, rich materiality, and artisanal craftsmanship converge.

Dots, indoor rug program – designed by Paolo Zani
For years, Dots has been a bestseller in Warli’s indoor collections, lauded for its versatility and customization that make it a seamless fit for top hospitality and residential projects. In 2025, Dots evolves from a single product into a comprehensive work program. This expansion allows for unparalleled customization through the combination of 10 weft colors and 10 warp colors, ensuring that every project’s unique requirements can be met. Hand-woven from a blend of wool and tencel, Dots creates a soft, continuous surface, finely crafted with twisted wool elements. The distinctive dotted pattern in various color shades is achieved through a specialized dyeing and twisting technique applied to the wool.

‘La lune sous le chapeau’ – designed by Man Ray
‘La lune sous le chapeau’ is an ‘objet trouvé’ in its essence, re-evaluating simple materials, low technology, and formal simplicity. The lampshade was conceived by Man Ray in 1974 on a flat sheet of cardboard, and quickly, along with sketches for the base, evolved into the iconic lamp we know today. This piece, seemingly anonymous and anti-design, is provocatively poetic, featuring the most minimal of lampshades supported by the most elementary of bases. This re-edition faithfully reproduces the original design, not just in form but also in spirit.
