In the current Autumn/Winter 2026/27 collection, the Hackenberg Textile Group focuses on innovations in the areas of ribbons, waistbands, textiles and labels. The four colour and theme worlds – Britaly, Bold, Streetwise, and Textured Luxury – reflect a broad range of trends in colours, designs and materials.
Elegant – Classic – Timeless. Subtle beige gradations, rich brown tones and various shades of blue form the classic Italian colour palette for the Britaly theme. The designs range from checks, stripes, and paisleys to micro prints that closely resemble woven structures.
The focus is on clear lines, symmetrical shapes and minimal designs. In addition to geometric patterns, florals and paisleys also play a role. A vibrantly radiant colour scheme with shades like royal blue odea sporty green gives strength to the otherwise subtle prints.
Striking digital prints in vibrant colours such as magenta or neon gradients capture the essence of the Streetwise theme. Printed reflections and reflective yarns woven into ribbons echo the city lights at night, adding exciting details.
Textured Luxury showcases noble woven structures in trendy Italian colour combinations. A strong royal blue provides an extra-fresh accent. The designs range from graphic multicoloured patterns and paisleys to tonal structures that offer a new solid alternative. Tonal 3D wordings on ribbons look modern and can be perfectly combined.

Modularity is not a new concept. For decades, it has shaped architecture, furniture and industrial design. Applying it to soft textiles, however, opens up an entirely new discussion.
Creativity and curiosity have always been our driving force. Our work evolves through prototypes—never finished, always raising new questions about materials, processes, and possibilities.
Both the fashion and textile industry often celebrates creativity. Yet many of the industry’s creative decisions are made long before a designer ever begins designing. Colour being one of them. The thing is, by the time a designer selects yarn, someone else has already determined the available colours, sequences and combinations. Choice exists, but only within boundaries.
“Through hands-on experimentation, I explore the potential of new surfaces and alternative forms of leather, aiming to reconnect human life with the natural world as an interconnected fabric.”
