  Italtex  Macrotrends Spring/Summer 2023 Men's and Women's Wear CHROMAVERSE As the Metaverse is defined as the future of the internet - a shared 3D universe that users can exist in perpetually - and more of our lives are spent online, it's becoming harder and harder to distinguish real life from life lived virtually.

TECHNO GREENS The boom of the game market and the metaverse have an impact on the way we perceive colours. Acid lime shades go from casualwear to eveningwear, fitting every occasion. FORMALCORE Versatility becomes the key word of the new formal dressing. The emphasis has moved from fine and formal tailoring to a more relaxed and everyday kind of look. A more easy going formalwear takes shape in reinvented classic patterns appealing to a younger market. URBAN PASTELS Focus on calming colours, as consumers are looking for re...

Because of the increasingly more casual and sports style, trousers have become key in terms of look, wearability, innovative fabrics and decorative elements.

Trending sustainable fibers: linen

Image
Last year I wrote on the evolution of the textile industry and its trends on sustainability. Of course, the impact of this key theme has expanded greatly over the months, so I seize the chance to raise the subject again, analyzing the importance of a key natural fiber: linen. Dominant material of Spring/Summer 2021 for woven menswear , this ancient fiber is the answer to two key trends: sustainability and a sports look. A natural fiber coming from flax, which requires very little water, pesticides and retains huge quantities of CO2, linen can be used without dyeing, since it naturally offers a rich colour palette. Additionally, linen's natural slubs confer a sports look to the fabrics woven with them. We find it in most trendy interpretations for jackets, trousers and sports shirts, especially in the Italtex fabric trend books of: Sports Style for Jackets, Menswear Drapperia, Menswear Scenario, Sports Shirts and Knit Shirts
