Intertextile fabric trends point to importance of feeling ‘secure’

摘要

Post-pandemic apparel fabric trends will focus on the theme SECURE, according to the Intertextile Directions Trend Committee. For spring/summer 2022, four key trends will represent this theme: ESSENTIALS, POETICS, PARADISES and SHOW-OFF. Show organiser Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. says that “visitors will be able to touch and feel how fabric samples from exhibitors deliver this sense of security” at Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition 2021 from 10-12 March. “As the current society’s model is being challenged by the pandemic, trends for fashion are developing in two major directions: one catering to the need for comfort and reassurance; the other about expressing oneself in a more joyful, optimistic style that is free from anxiety. High-performance and natural or recycled fabrics will be a focus, in order to meet the demands of everyday life and to be eco-responsible.”
