WTiN rounds off July’s (2024) Première Vision, examining a number of innovators offering substitutes for conventional materials and fibres. Those featured include biotech startups, Modern Meadow, Spiber and Bioworks.
Première Vision is a trade show for the fashion industry, focused on fabric and textile innovation. It is held biannually in Paris and attracts a wide range of industry professionals, including designers, buyers and manufacturers. The event showcases the latest trends in textiles, designs and accessories, offering a platform for networking, collaboration and discovering new materials and technologies. Première Vision is also known for its trend forecasting, which guides the fashion industry in developing upcoming collections.
The most recent edition took place from 2 to 4 July 2024 at the Parc des Expositions at Paris Nord Villepinte and this article highlights the main material innovations presented.
These eco-friendly alternatives to traditional materials continue to advance the industry’s shift towards sustainability and set the direction for future textile innovation and sustainability practices.
This article covers Modern Meadown’s most recent version of its leather alternative product Bio-VERA™, which is made from soy proteins and upcycled post-consumer waste; synthetic proteins from Japanese biotechnology company Spiber; fungal mycelium developed with SQIM’s microbial fermentation technology; biodegradable plant-based bioplastics from Bioworks and The Lenzing’s Glacer Jacket, which has been crafted using recycled materials from used glacier covers.
