This week Trendstop present three key trends from Spinexpo SS20. Human Centric takes inspiration from the human form while Bio Construction explores cleaner, greener ways to produce fashion-forward fibres. Modern Vintage taps into the trend for craftsmanship and customisation with creative applications of recycled materials that promote a closed loop manufacturing system.

Human Centric

Protective yet tactile, Human Centric incorporated wearable tech and no-waste engineering into body sculpting fabrics with contouring, stretch qualities. An artisan aesthetic came through in the origami-like folds that allow materials to be worn in multiple ways, lengthening garment lifespan.

Bio Construction

Eco materials and natural fibres were given an added environmentally-friendly boost via non-toxic colourings and cleaner manufacturing processes that reduce water usage. Unexpected ingredients showed the increasing scope amongst plant-based dyes and fixing agents and offered fresh ideas for print and surface pattern.

Modern Vintage

Discarded clothing and high levels of wastage are two of the key issues facing the textile industry. Updating past seasons colours with injections of the latest shades and remixing old fabric stock into new articles illustrated the possibilities for utilising leftover yarns and reducing the impact on landfill.
