Magazine London hosted the Future Fabric Expo event, showcasing globally sourced certified textiles categorized by fibre types or ‘material personalities’. More than 70 best-practice mills and suppliers presented collections, offering valuable information to help buyers and designers expand their fibre choices and knowledge.
Fibre and yarn: source GOTS-certified and regenerative cotton, recycled cotton and traceable hemp, linen and banana.
For softer hand-feels and a luxe finish, source Tencel and silk.
For specially engineered wicking properties, Coolmax.
Embrace slubs and characteristics in natural fibres.
Bananatex (Switzerland/Austria) has developed its first round of 100% abacà denim, allowing for its natural cooling properties and a stiffer and denser construction.
Ecological Textiles (Netherlands) has a 100% hemp from Europe; washing techniques soften the handfeel and drape.
Construction and finish: work with natural colours of seeded cotton, natural indigo, low-impact indigo dyeing and original recycled fibre colour in chambray, twill and dobby weaves.
