Returning to fashion weeks and strong street looks, style enthusiasts are finding new, unique ways to express themselves through their clothing with a fresh appreciation for beautifully made textiles and quality fabrications moving to the forefront of style. From designers and manufacturers to fashion connoisseurs and collectors, the core of every personal fashion journey centers on a textile that relays the latest trends, serves a utilitarian purpose, or pays homage to the art and heritage of apparel making that has transpired over generations.

Updated classics evoke feelings of nostalgia for vintage-looking pieces. New approaches to patterns and color treatments relay a sense of limitless possibilities as fashion looks forward to a new future. This season’s textile trends might offer a variety, but they are all tools toward a common design goal of creating unique fashion journeys.
