As a leading denim producer, ISKO is dedicated to redefining the future of fashion through innovative and responsible textile solutions with its fashion-first approach that complements sustainability, emphasising that sustainability need not compromise style. The KOKORO collection – where all denim is crafted using ISKO fabrics – exemplifies this commitment. Thanks to ISKO’s premium recycled denim, the collection maintains high-end quality while significantly reducing its environmental footprint, resulting in beautifully crafted fashion pieces.

“Real change in fashion happens when innovation meets integrity and purpose. Our collaboration with BLANCHE shows that responsibility and great design are not opposing forces – they strengthen each other. This is the future of denim: responsible, resilient, and ready to inspire", said Keith O’Brien, Senior Global Marketing & PR Manager at ISKO.

MUNICH FABRIC START: Between Attitude and Sensuality

The future begins where we reimagine it. After seasons of restraint, Spring.Summer 27 marks a conscious counter-trend: optimism, sensuality, and creative freedom are replacing pragmatism and neutrality. Physical presence and individuality are regaining importance – as a response to uncertainty, exhaustion, and algorithmic predictability. The overarching theme of PLEASURE stands for fashion as an emotional space, as an expression of attitude and cultural reflection. Colours, surfaces, and materials become vehicles for self-confidence and joie de vivre.

Following the last Focus Topic in October 2025, which placed Textile-to-Textile Recycling at its core, PERFORMANCE DAYS continues to drive the conversation around circularity – this time with an expanded and more upstream perspective.

Proven performance, optimised costs – the new RE 6 EL

Nowadays textile companies increasingly need to produce small production runs and respond to market changes with instantaneous pattern changes in order to operate profitably – meaning they require machines that offer maximum flexibility, reliability and cost efficiency. KARL MAYER understands the challenges of the market and is launching its new RE 6 EL. The Raschel machine offers the core strengths of the classic RSE 6 EL and essentially the same performance parameters, but has been further cost-optimised largely due to local production advantages. This makes the newcomer an efficiency champion in production, especially when it comes to frequent pattern changes.
