Trendstop brings FashionUnited readers a first look at the latest trend
\ndirections from the leading Spring Summer 2021 materials events in Paris.\n<\/p>\n
The Trendstop materials team give FashionUnited readers an exclusive
\ninsight into the key trends from the Paris editions of Premiere Vision,
\nTexworld and Interfiliere. Spring Summer 2021 refocused on print and
\nsurface and texture. An abundance of botanicals, artistic references and
\ndecorative, crafted surfaces were contrasted with the resurgence and
\nreinvention of functional, durable classics. Technical innovations were
\never present but delivered in a more subtle manner while sustainability
\nremained the driving force behind the shows with an emphasis on creating a
\ncircular industry and addressing every aspect of development and
\nproduction. Our comprehensive material show coverage and accompanying
\ngalleries evaluate each trend’s commercial value and longevity, giving you
\nthe best possible basis for your decision making.<\/p>\n
This week Trendstop present three key trends from across the SS21 Paris
\nmaterial shows. Fabrics fuse practicality and performance in Utility
\nRipstops while traditional techniques are refreshed for a modern era in
\nContemporary Shirring. Artist interpretations update florals and botanicals
\nwith a fresh, illustrative appeal.<\/p>\n
High performance ripstops take a utilitarian approach with canvas Shirring techniques are modernised via experimental pleating techniques
\nhandles in workwear tones. Hardwearing, structured compositions enhance the
\nreinforced aspect of the fabric while waxy coatings, in both matte and
\npolished finishes, provide an extra layer of protection from the elements
\nand can be scratched or rubbed to create new surface patterns. <\/p>\n

\nsurface texture to lustrous stretch materials. <\/p>\n
