ISPO Textrends
ISPO Textrends has released the color palettes for Fall/Winter 20/21 embracing the overall mood of change and a renewed attitude for the season. With the textile sector moving on a new journey through sustainability and efficiency, this season’s colors complement the mood and the need for change.


Textrends
Polypropylen
It’s the lightest synthetic fiber available, with a strong sustainable ID, but problems with dyeing due to its lower resistance to heat as compared to polyester, haven’t given polypropylene the credit it deserves, until now.

ISPO Textrends
The next edition of ISPO Munich from February 3-6 2019 will once again house the leading textile innovations in the ever popular ISPO Textrends forum. It is a unique platform for the latest developments in the textile sector for Fall/Winter 2020/21.
