Experience fabrics in real life again: see and feel the unique fall, the weight, the colour intensity of the print and special characteristics. This is exactly what a physical textile fair is all about – in addition to the important personal contacts with manufacturers and other industry insiders and the wealth of inspiration and information, of course.
At FABRIC DAYS from 1 – 3 September 2020 at the MOC Munich you will have the chance to experience and source the innovations of 300 exhibitors. Discover here some of the exhibitors of the FABRICS, SOURCING and DESIGN STUDIOS Area:

InnoTex offers a GOTS certified multifaceted collection for the Autumn.Winter 21/22 season. Graphic prints with modern overlays, shadow effects and exciting surface compositions play important roles. The theme Nature is reflected in natural surface structures and motifs from flora and fauna. Both cold and warm colour combinations are given a pleasantly warm character for the cold winter days thanks to roughened and sanded basic goods. Flower prints on dark backgrounds printed on flowing viscose satin and silk chiffon perfectly match the new Dark Romance trend.

“While nothing beats the actual opportunity to feel a fabric, look at how it drapes and easily compare one weight with another, we endeavour to be well-placed to present the collection as best we can using technology with videos and virtual meetings. This will most certainly be of major importance over the coming months,” explains managing director Nick Moore. He adds: “We are continuing to invest in the future, but with the flexibility to adapt the business to meet what will be a changing world of how fabrics are sourced by ourselves and our customers. We are currently enjoying testing new ideas and continuing to search for new supplies so we can improve our offer to customers.”

DESIGN STUDIOS
The Autumn.Winter 21/22 collection at Primus Pattern, gently ranges from mindfulness and durability to elegance and radiant expression. In terms of colour, the collection for the coming season is balanced in the lively shades of nature, such as deep blue, dark cadmium green, washed out black and sublime mud nuances. Accents are set by a lively apricot, matt copper to daring outliers such as an intense tango red or concentrated fruit tones. Formally, the new prints oscillate between noble retro ideas, structured imitations of nature and timeless geometric approaches. For a feeling of security and courage, all new textile designs have been developed with care and attention in these fragile times.
ZISSER TEXTILE DESIGN – H3 | D 17
Nature is the starting point for the Autumn.Winter 21/22 novelties of Zisser Textile Design. Falling leaves, peaceful blues of the sky and natural, neutral shades… Let’s walk deeper into the forest and find its mystery! The animal kingdom is surrounded by the abundance of plants, flowers, trees. The best patterns are made swiftly by the movement of the winds, which creates geometrical shapes and unique compositions. The autumn and winter colour palette touches dramatic, with deep tones but also immersing itself in natural soft colours and introducing groups of lighter or muted colours. The range of prints from the Zisser Textile Design collection is diverse and vivid in their expression. Their designers experiment with new media, tested various brushes and are experienced with dyeing and colouring techniques. Zisser’s prints always stand for uniqueness and boldness.
