From February 11 to 13, 2020, “fashion sees itself, thinks about itself and totally lives in eco-responsibility!”
To meet the challenges of fashion’s future, a group of committed players in sustainable development and Fashion Tech specialists got together in the fair’s Smart Creation area dedicated to responsible creation and innovation.
This forum, as a concentration of solutions, illustrated a clear desire to approach technical, sustainable innovation through the prism of experimentation and creativity.
Designer Dominique Mettraux, Peclers’ material specialist, takes a look at the key trends, innovative brands and some not-to-be-missed favorites!

Manufacturing procedures and finishings are increasingly ecological, especially dyeing processes that reduce water consumption.
Favorite natural materials: linen, hemp and ramie are finer, more sophisticated, softer, textured or dry, treated in their original color and developed in a wide range of undyed whites that don’t pollute.
