Bangladesh Textile Journal BTJ’s Post

In an era marked by constant alertness and growing disillusionment with the future, Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Autumn Edition invites the industry to rethink how security can be built amid uncertainty – by investing in emotional skills, developing flexibility, and strengthening social networks. Through the lens of the Intertextile Directions Trends for Autumn / Winter 2027-28, titled A QUEST FOR ESSENCE, the season reflects a conscious and positive mindset. It highlights humanity’s ability to cultivate alternative creativity, integrate technology and craftsmanship, and use materials as tools for sensory exploration; rejecting sameness in pursuit of authenticity and meaning. Beyond its trend-inspired textile samples, the Intertextile Directions Trend Forum will further this pursuit through a scent-infused collaboration between Intertextile Apparel and Notes Shanghai, a premium niche fragrance fair in Messe Frankfurt’s portfolio. From 25 – 27 August, through an inspiring display of fabrics and accessories, the Trend Forum will give voice to uniqueness, experimenting with new combinations adapted to the essence of materials across three key themes: FEEL YOUR SERENITY, LIVE YOUR EMOTIONS, and PLAY YOUR ROLE. With a new sense now added to their creative arsenal, Intertextile Directions Trend Committee member MUSEATIVE has been charged with designing and curating the installation. Exhibitors from across the show floor will submit samples that illustrate each theme, allowing visitors to browse a concentrated selection of on-trend fabrics, and then intentionally connect with suitable suppliers. Conceived by ELEMENTI MODA (Milan), MUSEATIVE (New York), NellyRodi™ Agency (Paris), and Sachiko Inoue (Tokyo), the trend directions serve as a primary form of expression inspired by global fashion insights, inviting designers to remain free to embrace fantasy and creativity, escape from neutrality, and infuse the everyday with excitement and exceptionalism.
