In cooperation with trend experts, ISPO MUNICH studied various global trends with influence on the textile industry and its products.

ISPO Textrend Fall/Winter 2016/2017 Color & Textile TrendsOne goal of ISPO MUNICH is to be a gateway for future trends. 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 2016/17 with the textile industry and to use these trends as a basic guideline for ISPO Textrends 2015 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 2015.

Making the most of what you have is the key to this season’s ISPO Textrend delivery as we encourage and push the host of high functioning ingredients available in the activewear sector to new levels and encourage a new lease of life. Creativity is key in compiling new offerings, moving away from the basics and injecting a sense of rejuvenation. This doesn’t mean we are void of new and energetic developments, innovations that are set to feature at the higher end of the market. ISPO Textrend’s preview of the season should stimulate the senses and deliver fresh and exciting products. Let’s get working!

ISPO Textrend’s initial color offering for Fall/Winter 16/17 incorporates Active Instinct as the key bestselling tones complimented by four new satellite palettes to give collections a distinctive look.

Sharp and lucid tones influence, working best in high luster fabric surfaces and prints. Clean and intense, there is a modern freshness applied to this palette.

Intense dark tones of blacks and grays are highlighted by moonlight accents and oxidized hues. Sleek and sophisticated, this palette holds a unisex appeal and is particularly enhanced by metallic tones.

Inspired by nature, colors take on a frosted and matte aspect perfectly enhan- ced by brushed surfaces and crystallized yarns.

Nature and synthetic tones collide in creating new and interesting nuances that take the limelight. From muted mauves to autumnal orange, this palette is uplifted through equal natural/synthetic blends, the inherent aspects of each accelerating the tones on offer.
