A record number of international companies applied for ISPO Textrends, the performance textiles, accessories and trims forum for the Sports & Outdoors markets. Judged by an international jury of textile experts, Best Product, Top Ten and Selection were awarded in 10 sectors that will feature at the ISPO Textrends forum at ISPO Munich in February 2019.

 

At ISPO Munich 2019 all Best Products and winning products of ISPO Textrends will be exhibited.

With the countdown on until the doors to ISPO Munich open on the 3rd February, ISPO Textrends announces the companies awarded Best Product for the Fal/Winter 2020/21 season. All the products that will feature in the forum have been selected by the ISPO Textrends international jury of textile experts.

Three Additional Aspects Will Feature for Fall/Winter 2020/21

Sensational Touch - A higher level of sensual haptic features across all sectors, with a notable improvement in recycled synthetics this season, delivering a touch that is on par with conventional synthetics. 

Protective Elements - Performance is heightened as protection embraces the sports and outdoors markets.  Water repellency, insulation, reflective coatings and prints, high tenacity anti-rip and abrasion resistance products are just some of the properties that protect. 

Optical Illusion - Surface structure and depth features for the season, but what you see isn’t what you get. 3D relief is delivered through the optical use of yarns and prints. From realistic digital aspects to yarn-dyed effects, with subtle definition further enhanced through embossing and flocking.

Trims: Bemis Associates - USA 

Bemis’ new Tint functional film delivers a unique aesthetic option that hits the transparent trend in apparel and footwear. Use on logos, edge finishes, designs and functional panels to add tone on colors or as a “watermark”, allowing the pattern or texture of the fabric to come through.

The barrier layer is soft, UV resistant, hydrolytically stable and receptive to screen printing inks for further design flexibility and reflectivity.
