Trend Preview for SPRING.SUMMER 25
Now available: CLARITY TREND FORECAST
Spring.Summer 25
The new summer season’s title is Clarity. It describes the longing for clear structures and simplification against the backdrop of our present environment and the growing complexity in many areas. The search for clarity ranges from the call for transparent production and supply chains to structured fashion themes with a meaningful use of colours, silhouettes and materials. Reduction and realism, paired with imagination and creativity, create a new awareness of quality, sustainability and design competence.
The juxtaposition of rediscovered craftsmanship and new technologies, urban and rural spaces, self-questioning and social cohesion, decoration and function reflect the momentary complexity. They are opposites that inspire each other and raise awareness of the need for quality and responsible consumption. Yet, what they all have in common is the desire to face challenges with confidence and creativity. The latter thrives at the interface between new technologies and tradition. Especially where the past and the future form common ground and the familiar mixes with the new.
The five seasonal themes reflect a broad spectrum that ranges from newly interpreted craftsmanship to the rediscovery of one’s own “I”, the synergy between city and country and the fascination for the unknown. The final theme is responsible optimism, a reminder to be active and confident in shaping our future.
CLARITY presents 5 trends for Spring.Summer 25:

ORTA x Long John presents:
The Biggest Sustainable Jeans!
ORTA x Long John Presents: The biggest sustainable jeans!
The well-known Turkish denim manufacturer ORTA, celebrated its 70th anniversary last year teams up with Wouter Munnichs, founder of online denim magazine Long John and freelance denim specialist for brands and retail, to create the biggest sustainable pair of blue jeans ever made. This huge collaboration jeans will be on display at denim fabric trade show Bluezone in Munich, Germany on the 23rd and 24th of January, 2024.
This January, ORTA and Long John will join forces in a very special jeans collaboration. Together they developed the biggest sustainable jeans ever produced to set a new milestone within the denim industry. This display jeans is made with a waist size 133 and a total length of around 4,5 meters. For the inspiration of this collaboration jeans, they looked at the past when huge display jeans were made as a promotion for a denim brand. These originals were used to showcase a jeans brand in a unique and unmissable way in front of retailers and at rodeo events in the West of America from the 1920’s onwards.
Showcasing the new sustainable denim fabric
The idea of making something that stands out came when ORTA developed a new sustainable denim fabric with code 4853A, colored Steel Blue. This rigid 2/1 Z twill denim fabric weighs 10.6 oz and is made with a composition of 80% better cotton + 20% post-consumer recycled cotton. The fibers as well as the fabric were all manufactured in Turkey locally. As a long partner of ORTA, Long John sat down with the ORTA to think about a way they could present this innovative denim fabric that can’t be missed by each visitor of the Bluezone trade show in Munich. Soon, they were thinking of creating this enormous pair of jeans.
The inspiration for the display jeans
The design of the ORTA x Long John display jeans is inspired on the original miner jeans that were worn during the kick-off of the so-called ‘Gold Rush’ period around 1850 in California, USA. During this period, many people from all over the world came to California when gold was discovered in the mines. To get the job done, a sturdy and durable pair of blue jeans was needed. This is seen by many as the kick-off of the history of denim. The rest is history.
The ORTA x Long John display jeans is produced with an eye for detail, just like the originals. Key detail features on this pair are included such as one back pocket, a cinch back, suspender buttons on the waistband, and even a crotch rivet on the front. Also, for this display pair, a huge hangtag is produced, the same as a back patch from sustainable cotton fabric showing both ORTA and Long John logos.
Displayed at Bluezone
The biggest sustainable jeans ever produced by ORTA x Long John will be showcased for the very first time at the denim fabric trade show Bluezone in Munich on the 23rd and 24th of January. Don’t miss this chance to get yourself photographed in front of this big 133-sized pair of blue jeans.

BLUEZONE HIGHLIGHTS FOR AUTUMN.WINTER 24/25
AMD X Naveena
We are born with 5 senses. They accompany us for a lifetime. Let us feel, taste, hear our environment, smell and see what surrounds us. Within 5 Groups of mixed courses from students of Fashion Design (B.A.), Fashion & Design Management ( B.A.)and Fashion Journalism & Communication (B.A.) the students from the Dusseldorf based AMD Akademie für Mode & Design, faculty design of Hochschule Fresenius, analyzed the importance and impact of our senses in context of Denim.
Why Denim? Because this beautiful and rich material like no other embodies senses and sensuality the best. In times of digitalization and virtual universes, it is our fabric of choice that symbolizes it´s human connection the best.
Join us on the Blue Zone area in Hall 7 | A 01 and get in touch, hear, feel, smell and also taste what Denim Senses triggers in yourself!
The 5 DENIM SENSES are brought to live thanks to the generous support from Naveena Denim Mills who provided the denim fabrics for this project:
The BERRIT I95 fabric includes hemp and belongs to Naveena’s CANNA DENIM concept which is made of cottonized and mechanical hemp composition around 20%. It is durable, breathable, anti-bacterial, requires 70% less water comparing to cotton and no pesticides. Plus it growths 3-4 times faster than cotton. KEATON I73 combines hemp and Tencel together.
MORGAN B56 includes recycled linen and belongs to Naveena’s LINO+ concept: fabrics with smart linen fiber, created by post industrial waste. They are GRS certified, breathable and moisture wicking.
VIDIC I81: Includes BioHemp and is part of Naveena’s BIOTECH concept. The mill teamed up with Circular Systems in a unique collaboration that transforms agricultural crop left-overs into scalable, high-value natural fiber denim fashion products with their Agraloop™ technology. BIOTECH fabrics are made with natural fiber derived from CBD hemp crop residue and refined into textile-grade fiber called Agraloop™ BioFibre™. These fabrics are also compliant with the Global Recycled Standard and Organic Blend Content Standard.
OLITA B91 and GLENN B56 are part of their RETROTECH concept which is inspired by retro denim heritage and remixing it to modern day living. Retrotech provides wear comfort without sacrificing vintage authentic look. For more comfortable fits, Naveena blended high and lows with stretch resulting in a modern vintage cotton with a stretch blend.
TRANSFORMERS FOUNDATION
Initiated in September 2022, the TRANSFORMES FOUNDATION teamed up with BLUEZONE to join forces to educate and inspire the Denim industry. Their vision is to connect their networks, to share relevant content and profound insights of industry-relevant developments and challenges and to provide information and inspiration – all at once.
On 18 July, the TRANSFORMERS FOUNDATION will hold a panel discussion about the legislative landscape in Europe, the UK, and the USA is evolving quickly and is likely to have far-reaching implications for apparel suppliers worldwide. On 19 July, they will explore the critical ethical questions needed to unlock meaningful decarbonization action.
The Transformers Foundation brings together the voices of the denim industry with social actors to provide impulses for positive change in the industry. It is an interface between brands, NGOs, consumers and the media. “Transformers” stands for all those stakeholders within the denim supply chain and beyond who want to actively participate in this change and transformation.

TREND FORECAST Autumn.Winter 24/25
MUNICH FABRIC START Autumn.Winter 24/25 s all about the seasonal leitmotif EACH OTHER. How can we look into the future without losing our minds? Between utter resignation and blind rage lies a hopeful, wise and unbiased perspective. Our future lies in the diversity of such calm, thoughtful and courageous approaches.
EACH OTHER emphasizes the importance of personal connection. We need to continuously stay in touch with each other, be there for one another and listen attentively – even in difficult times. What’s unique about fashion is that we can promote well-being through a variety of tactile and emotional fabrics and styles – not only in sales and use, but also in the field and in production.
Let’s consciously pursue a common and effective goal: to create something beautiful with fashion and make a contribution to our humanity – for EACH OTHER!
WHAT’S NEW?
A multi-purpose black in combination with a light beige and a new anise are the key colours for Autumn.Winter 24/25. Strange colour duos like yellow/ mango, pink/peach or turquoise/blue bring fresh accents to the colour palette. In contrasts, cold and warm tones play with each other, in dark and light nuances, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet and as neutral or bright colors.
Decorative qualities are a recipe against crisis. Protection wear from cozy, lightweight to heavy weight fabrics are key for winter: a firework of creative yarns in volume, lightness, functionality and fancy combinations. Checks come in all variations, be it loud, quiet, big or small. A touch of trash, tech, nostalgie and 80ies brings bling in all variations. Open weaves or knits bring a nuance of winter transparency.
Casual comfort as standard: functional pragmatic classic and timeless styles come as coats, bomber jackets, suits, casual sakkos or padded styles. We play with extremes in width and wrapping volume for morning coat styles, over-shirts, blazers and baggies. Expressive looks are created for night and day with shine through elements rounded off by retro looks from the sixties, seventies and eighties.
These 5 EACH OTHER trends of MUNICH FABRIC START as well as the 10 denim-, street- and sportswear trends for BLUEZONE under the leitmotif CONNEXXION can be found as a comprehensive trend analysis with detailed colour cards, inspiring materials, moods, prints and styles in our TREND BOOK and COLOUR CODE – available in the trend forums in foyer 2 and 4, the trade show office room B 009 and at the Bluezone check-in counter.

CONNEXXION - SAAT MUNICH
Connexxion – 20 Years of togetherness in denim
H 6 | B 0 7
Connexxion – The association
The perfect connection is characterized by the fact that the SAATMUNICH Design Studio has been developing conceptual outfits for the Bluezone Hostess in collaboration with exclusive partners since 2016. The selection of these partners is based on the innovation of a weaver and the expertise of the manufacturer in the transformation of the nominated theme.
Connexxion – The relationship
Sajna Weber and Thorsten Bulander, the creative minds behind SAAT, designs conceptual looks for Bluezone every year. SAAT’s unique concept developments underline their long- term experience in the fields of design, denim, and workwear.
The SAATMUNICH Design Studio has established itself as an innovative and reliable partner in the sustainable production of denim products and corporate wear.
