Fashion inspired by nature and technology: in an exclusive fashion show on 23 June 2022, Neonyt and presenting partner Dr. Hauschka will be showing progressive and trend-setting looks under the motto "Biosphere-Technosphere" at Atelier Lihotzky in Frankfurt's East end district.

Featuring the future of sustainable fashion: On Thursday, 23 June 2022 at 8 p.m., Neonyt hosts an exclusive fashion show at Atelier Lihotzky in Frankfurt's East end district to kick off the Neonyt Lab. This year's theme of the show is "Biosphere-Technosphere". The focus is thus on the connection of nature with the elements of water, air and earth with everything that humans create – from infrastructure to architecture, industrial agriculture and the digital world. The combination of these seemingly controversial topics spans the arc to our current earth age, the Anthropocene, in which humans have become one of the most important influencing factors on the biological, geological and atmospheric processes on earth.

Nature vs. technology

During the Neonyt Fashion Show, various multi-brand looks are staged – from small independent brands and newcomer labels to internationally established brands and designer pieces, curated by renowned stylist Claudia Hofmann. The Biosphere theme complex presents fashion and textiles inspired by nature and its elements while the Technosphere theme focuses on circular economy and recycling.

The best of both worlds

Under the title "Biosphere-Technosphere", the Neonyt Fashion Show combines themes that at first glance seem contradictory and thus raise questions. The audience is invited to embark on a journey in which the nature of the earth, its elements and the resulting regenerative approaches are combined with ideas from the digital world, resulting in new dimensions and networked systems – for a revolution in the fashion industry. The event is being realised together with natural cosmetics brand and presenting partner Dr. Hauschka. Creative direction is by studio MM04.

After the show, which starts at 8 p.m., there will be a get-together for all invited guests on the eleventh floor with a view of the skyline, drinks, snacks and music to round off the evening together.



Frankfurt Fashion Week – shows sustainable Fashion, Design & Art

#Research & Development

Reducing development times for technical textiles by accelerated thermo-oxidative aging in a high-pressure autoclave

Synthetic polymers used in technical textiles can be effectively protected against degradation caused by heat, oxygen, and water through the use of stabilizer systems. This enables service lives of several decades, extending to more than 50 years. As the use of durable technical textiles continues to grow, so does the demand for reliable methods to predict their service life within economically feasible testing periods. For the first time the German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research Denkendorf (DITF) developed methods for robust service life prediction for textiles in an IGF research project.
