Lenzing’s Latest Circular Collaboration Furthers Fabric Recycling

The number one factor in creating a more circular fashion system is collaboration. It is a multi-step process to collect waste, sort it and feed it into production, and individual companies do not have the infrastructure or expertise to do it all.

Bluezone Discovery: To Denim & Beyond

On January 24th and 25th, Bluezone took place in Munich. This version of the biannual international denim trade show—part of Munich Fabric Start—might have been the best ever. An incredibly high-level exhibition, Bluezone was exceptionally well-elaborated, with even the smallest details expertly overseen. We’ve come to expect nothing less from the team that has been putting this world-class show together for the last 20 years.

… And One Very Special Reason We’re So Excited About this Winter’s Show

What if the most sustainable product were the one that is constantly reinvented?

Sustainability

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.

Smart Textile Design

Sustainability

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.

What If Designers Could Decide Colour Before the Yarn Even Exists?

Sustainability

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.

Leather from the Sea

Sustainability

“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.”

KnitForm+ by Jeanne Mora

Sustainability

“What matters is how the textile responds: how it regulates volume, distributes pressure, and transitions from flat to three-dimensional states. Process transparency is embedded in the methodology itself.”

RETRAKT: From Circular Ambition to Operational Reality

Sustainability

“Performance, in this context, is measured by organisational resilience. RETRAKT applies resilience engineering to help employees anticipate, monitor, respond to, and learn from complex and changing requirements.”

MATERIA FUTURA: Reclaiming Sensory Desire in Bio-Based Materials

Sustainability

Materia Futura is not proposing a new bio-material category, nor a finished commercial textile. What distinguishes the project is its design-led investigation into the emotional and aesthetic dimensions of bio-based materials, an area often sidelined in sustainability discourse.

17/Jan/26

Threaded Protocols

Keyhouse / Sustainability

Threaded Protocols is not a textile innovation in the commercial sense, nor a digital tool disguised as craft. What makes the work distinct is its material investigation into how computational logic originates in textile practice and what is lost when those logics are abstracted into opaque technological systems.

MARIE VILAY: Reading, Carrying, and Reframing Textile Knowledge

Sustainability

Marie Vilay does not present a new fabric or production technique. What distinguishes her work is a method of reading and translating textile knowledge across cultures, systems, and moments of transition.

Interview with Simon Angel, Curator of SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS

Keyhouse / Sustainability

For me, novelty by itself is never enough, I always search behind the curtains, looking for stories, paradoxes, pain, pleasure and purpose. Technical achievement is important, but it is only a starting point. What I look for is whether a project asks an honest question about how we live, make, and value.
