RE/UPCYCLE ALPACA BY INCALPACA
In a context where fast fashion is gaining strength among consumers and the use of synthetic and ephemeral materials is favored by brands, Alpaca fibre is becoming a bright spot for a more sustainable and eco-friendly fashion world. The use this fibre in Incalpaca’s garments and products allows them to show their customers that luxury and environmental responsibility can co-exist.
At Incalpaca they are aware of the environmental impact of their manufacturing process and although they know that alpaca fibre is a more sustainable material, it is important to find ways to reuse the waste of this natural fibre to create a more conscious, circular and sustainable fashion. In this way, as part of their commitment, they have developed a highly specialized unit and system to create high quality, durable, ecological and inimitable luxury garments from leftovers, by-products, deadstock and waste, taking advantage of the great qualities of alpaca fibre.
The Re/Upcycle Alpaca project has been recognized in the German Design Awards 2024, organized by the German Design Council, which awards excellence in design based on innovation, industry impact and commitment to sustainability. At Incalpaca they are proud to have achieved the ‘Gold’ level in “Eco Design” category, the highest award in the event. This recognition underlines their commitment to sustainable innovation, the environment and our community. With Re/UpCycle, we can recycle more than 120,000 kilos of fibre per year and reduce the impact of their manufacturing process, promoting a green and sustainable business model.

“RE/UPcycle Alpaca is characterised by its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility at every stage of the design and manufacturing process.”
Incalpaca winner of the prestigious German Design Award in the Eco-Design category
The Peruvian textile company has been honoured in 2024 with a prestigious eco-design prize from the German Design Awards for its RE/UPcycle Alpaca project.
The prize was awarded in the ‘Excellent Product Design – Eco Design’ category and underlines the brand’s efforts and commitment to creating a product line made from regenerated natural fibre textile waste that is given a new life in everyday products, according to the company.
‘RE/UPcycle Alpaca is characterised by its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility at every stage of the design and manufacturing process. From the careful selection of recycled materials to ethical production practices, the project embodies Incalpaca’s core values of creating high-quality products with minimal impact on the environment,’ Incalpaca said in its concept.
The German Design Award is internationally recognised for its rigorous judging process and its focus on design excellence, Incalpaca said.
“We are thrilled and honoured to have been awarded ‘Gold’ at the German Design Awards,” said Diego Saca, Marketing Manager. “This success reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainable innovation and spurs us on to continue leading the textile industry towards responsible practices,” he added.

Sustainable Innovations – Studio Tjeerd Veenhoven
Studio Tjeerd Veenhoven (STV) is dedicated to material research and value chain design with a focus on sustainability. Graduating from the Art Academy in Arnhem in 2000, Tjeerd transitioned from product design to exploring sustainable value chains. Over the past 15 years, he has collaborated with numerous partners to create innovative solutions that address complex social issues related to sustainability. He acknowledges the urgent need for sustainable practices, particularly within the fashion industry.
Tjeerd’s “Mycelium 2D Printing” explores the potential of mycelium, a natural material obtained from mushrooms, which could be crucial for the transition towards more sustainable consumption. STV began researching mycelium four years ago, focusing on controlled growth without specific applications. Recently, they developed a printer that places inoculated substrates to cultivate mycelium into white dots, forming a graphical mycelium print. This speculative research envisions replacing PVC banners at cultural festivals with mycelium-printed canvas, which can be reused and reprinted without chemicals.
Another significant lead is the development of sustainable textiles from oyster mushroom mycelium. For three years, STV has investigated the potential applications of oyster mushroom waste, creating textiles from thinly sliced mushroom bases. His research revealed the mycelium’s capacity for continued growth from the mushroom foot after harvest. By allowing the material to grow back together in controlled conditions, a unique textile-like material is produced.
“In our transition to a sustainable fashion value chain, we need wild ideas that shake up, that offer a fresh perspective on raw materials, manufacturing, design and use. Mycelium based textiles are one of the more speculative routes – but with great potential.” – Tjeerd Veenhoven

Sustainable Innovations – RietGoed by Iris Veentjer
Designer Iris Veentjer, owner of Studio i Focus, is dedicated to innovative material research and experimental design to foster a regenerative world. Since 2018, she has created products raising awareness about environmental and social issues. The Netherlands faces significant soil subsidence and greenhouse gas emissions due to peatlands being drained for cattle grazing, which leads to plant decomposition and CO2 release. To address this, alternative agricultural methods like wetland cultivation are being explored.
A type of plant that thrives in wet conditions are cattails, the cultivation of which is currently not profitable for farmers, which is why its fibres are typically used for low-value products like insulation. Iris’s project, RietGoed, aims to develop high-quality textiles from cattails.
Iris developed a machine to mechanically extract fibers from cattails, allowing them to be processed like linen. This innovative approach can help reduce soil subsidence and emissions while creating a biocircular production process utilizing all parts of the plant.
With RietGoed, Iris aims to inspire broader adoption of sustainable practices and scale up textile production.
“Textiles made from cattails could potentially replace synthetic oil-based yarns. I aim to have the process from plant to fiber to product be fully biocircular. After multiple recyclings, textiles can return to the fields, contributing to peatland restoration,” she summarizes.
“RietGoed can be a solution to the nitrogen problem in peat meadow areas. By draining these areas, the soil sinks and nitrogen is released into the air. If we grow cattails on peat meadows in watery peat soil and make clothing from them, farmers will have the opportunity to earn money with this new crop.” – Iris Veentjer

COLLECTION’S NEWS BY CANCLINI1925
PER LEI by Canclini – Grandi & Rubinelli – Blue1925
“BEL VESTIRE” dress well… Two words that inspired Canclini to create the Autumn.Winter 2025/26 collections of their brands, each one respecting its own original DNA. “Il Bel Vestire”: that’s the way they meant to express themselves about a new formal way, because men want to be well-dressed again. They want to feel elegant and refined, wearing quality clothes that give them a well-groomed appearance, which not only enhances their positive perception by others, but also their self-confidence and self-awareness.
Smart-formal will replace the smart-casual as seen in recent seasons. This “new formal” will take men’s wardrobe to a more elegant and refined level, without compromising on comfort and suitability. Hence the research for new fabrics, such as Dice to provide continuity to performance fabrics that allow the shirt to be reinterpreted in a new way.
Italy – S 1 | C 114
At this point, they think of a man who becomes a “collector”, searching for a new elegance through garments and fabrics such as Ten ten and Vis mel, which, thanks to the quality of the fabrics, last longer and therefore provides more sustainability. The wardrobe becomes a true collection, thanks to the different garments and variety of fabrics that it contains.
With their collections, Canclini wants to support precisely this type of man who loves the more formal part of their Grandi & Rubinelli range, with rigorous constructions in the richest blends such as Sea Island cotton and North Sea cashmere or Alasilk silk, but who also loves the innovation of new articles that he can find in Canclini1925: more particular and sometimes experimental or provocative fabrics, up to the most iconic ones such as Melton and its varieties. Skillfull their idea of using new blends such as Tencel or Micromodal to make the feel of the fabric even more fluid and distinctive.
The same man also likes the Blue1925 collection where he can take the opportunity to have different denims: from the more formal ones to those that allow him to show innovative and renewed shirts in different weights. And eco-sustainable fabrics.
For women, Canclini offers the smart Per Lei collection. The real distinguishing feature: to be able to wear the variety of fabrics in a more original and unique way, from cottons with special finishes, to imaginative prints, to flowing silks or ultra-light flannels.
The new collections represent a new urban elegance, multi-purpose and versatile, which manages to bring together different personalities and generations. With particular attention to the past, which is always part of their DNA, with an eye towards the future. Come discover the novelties of Canclini’s collections at the KLAAS + HESSE studio at S1 | C 114.

Admix
Admix embraces a sporty streetwear look – bold, tactile, and comfortable. The materials are carefully selected: These include recycled polyester and materials that perform well for sports trims, such as recycled TPU and silicone. The packaging follows the same ethos and is made from soft, flexible recycled EVA, recycled LDPE, and FSC™ certified paper. The product images highlight key features such as statement pullers, heat-seal labels, and reusable packaging.
Him & Her:
HIM & HER is a unisex collection that combines sustainability, recycled materials, and a timeless design. With this range, we ensure every detail is made responsibly, from prints using Algae ink™, all the way to the garment labels made from recycled polyester and the hangtags made from FSC™ recycled paper with recycled cotton strings. Product highlights include paper tags using dyed-through FSC™ paper and patches MADE WITH MIRUM®, a 100% biobased leather alternative.
MNDR Capsule
MNDR Capsule is a contemporary brand that elevates everyday casual wear with bright pops of colour and soft gradients. The trims used in this range are made from recycled materials wherever possible, including FSC™ recycled paper tags, recycled polyester sateen labels and recycled metal trims. Product highlights include soft-touch brand labels, logo buttons, and mono-material retail packaging.
Nordbeck Arktik+
With strong, contrasting colors and graphics, Nordbeck Arktik+ boldly blurs the lines between urban streetwear and adventure gear. This concept uses materials proven for trims in the outdoor segment, such as bluesign® certified silicone, recycled ABS, and recycled polyester. Product images feature bold 3D patches, cord stoppers, and high-definition brand labels.
Adrian Foray
Our well-dressed brand Adrian Foray, one might even say preppy, features designs that suit the modern man in both urban and business settings. The trims reflect today’s requirements for responsible production, utilising recycled and biobased materials for labels, trims and packaging. Examples are recycled polyester, corozo and fashion paper made from upcycled industrial residues. The product images showcase key features, including plastic-free packaging solutions for shirts, hangtags with flexible paper strings, and a variety of branded buttons.
Our mission: to guide our clients in the world of labelling
At Nilörn, we aim to design products to be recycled at the end of their useful life. Today there are limitations on the recyclability of textile parts and accessories. We continue to monitor developments in the recycling industry to improve the end-of-life options for our products. All our collections are also integrated with our platform of digital services, Nilörn:CONNECT™, and include unique QR code labels to help the brand enhance traceability and transparency in its product range.
Read more about our work on our website. We also look forward to meeting you at our booth, B01 in Hall 01 during the fair to discuss our latest collections along with our commitment to innovative design and responsible production.

Sustainable Innovations - Ilse Kremer
Due to the extensive use of harmful chemicals in the fashion industry, synthetic textile dyes are a significant threat to sustainability. They contribute to water pollution as dye residues enter factory wastewater and rivers and can even lead to serious health issues for people handling them. Additionally, synthetic dyeing processes require substantial use of water and energy. Ilse Kremer, the mastermind behind “Fabulous Fungi”, addresses these issues by utilizing fungi to create sustainable textile dyes.
“Fabulous Fungi employs fungi in order to create sustainable and safe textile dye. Fungi use biochemical processes to produce pigments, making the impact different from fossil-based heat and extraction processes.”
This approach uses no harmful chemicals and requires much less water. The fungal pigments, which form the basis of these textile dyes, are biodegradable, ensuring that any remnants in wastewater do not pollute water sources. Furthermore, they are completely safe for both the workers handling them and consumers wearing the dyed garments, eliminating associated health risks.
Fungal dyes thus offer numerous advantages over synthetic dyes and other alternatives and present a promising solution to the environmental and health challenges posed by traditional textile dyeing methods.
