THE MATERIALS OF THE FALL/WINTER 2025-26 COLLECTIONS

The materials for the Fall-Winter 2025/26 season showcased in the Milano Unica Tendenze Area are in line with the proposed creative theme and also highlight the work done by the exhibitors in developing sustainable materials while experimenting not only with prints, patterns and embroidery, but also with new technology, coating, translucent finishing, surprising material research and new treatments on fabrics and accessories.

 

The particularly refined color chart includes beige, blue, and dark red hues.

 

Exhibitors presented a broad variety of fibers, including classics and also dailywear, eveningwear and leisurewear.

 

Below is a description of the Areas and rooms in which the materials are displayed:
