Spring Summer 2020 Paris Material Show Overview
Trendstop brings FashionUnited readers a first look at the latest trend
directions from the leading Spring Summer 2020 materials events in
Paris.
The Trendstop materials team give FashionUnited readers an exclusive
insight into the key trends from the Paris editions of Premiere Vision,
Texworld and Interfiliere. Eco-responsibility was high on the agenda at all
three expos. At Interfiliere, the dedicated The Exception area showcased a
host of green materials and their raw state fibres as well as inspiring
conceptual designs and practical applications. At Premiere Vision, the
leather trends section highlighted the strides tanners are making in
reducing environmental impact with displays of chrome-free skins, fully
traceable sourcing and elevated ethical standards. A growing selection of
eco fibres and ethical mills was on display at Texworld, showcasing an
array of material options from jersey, denim and cotton to performance and
faux leather. Our comprehensive material show coverage and accompanying
galleries evaluate each trend’s commercial value and longevity, giving you
the best possible basis for your decision making.
This week Trendstop present three key trends from across the SS20 Paris
material shows. Core fibres and material compositions are elevated across
the board with the introduction of performance qualities as seen in
Enhanced Tech and bi-stretch comfort in Dynamic Movement. Rustic Luxury
explores the evolution of natural fibres into the luxury arena.
Enhanced Tech
Technical properties are integrated into a range of core materials, from
climatic cotton jerseys to tech-enhanced linens. Ultra-light-weight handles
are high-resistance with a powdered or subtly reflective sheen finish that
updates the glossy coatings of previous seasons and offers a premium,
natural silk aesthetic.

Dynamic Movement
Stretch properties enhance fabrics across all categories for both heavy and
lightweight blends. Bi-stretch qualities infuse technical materials for
maximum comfort while leathers have increased flexibility. Jerseys are
increasingly fluid with luxe sheen finishes that highlight flowing, drapey
handles.

Rustic Luxury
Traditional rustic fabrications are elevated with softer handles and more
refined finishes. Matte and gently sanded surfaces add subtle textural
definition to crepes and seersuckers while luxurious threads and fibres
enhance natural linens.
