Premiere Vision's 202526 Trends: Sustainable Leather, Inclusive Fabrics,Durable Textiles

What are the new leather and fabric trs for the upcoming autumnwinter 202526 season according to Premiere Vision? The French trade show held from July 2nd to July 4th at Paris Nord Villepinte Convention Centre saw 937 exhibitors despite a potentially expected decline in visitor numbers due to the concurrent Olympic Games.

Despite the quiet season, it was rich with innovations as highlighted by Premiere Vision's leather expert Carine Montarras and fashion director Desolina Suter. For those interested in environmentally responsible leather, selecting a committed tannery is now paramount rather than just focusing on specific treatments or tanning processes. The industry faces challenges in traceability due to stricter regulations.

Tanneries were indeed at the forefront of this year's show, with buyers prioritizing brands that can be certified for their European production without contributing to deforestation. Vegetable-tanned leathers have seen a rise in demand as they are traditionally associated with stiffness but offer less environmental impact than their chemically tanned counterparts. A new generation of soft vegetable-tanned leathers in different colors and finishes is emerging, including lamb stretch leather dyed with extracts from tree barks like quebracho, olive, and rhubarb.

A collaboration between Premiere Vision and Les Teintures de France showcased technical versions of leather with laser engravings, digital embroidery using yarn that undergoes dyeing during the printing process, and 3D prints featuring micro-studs.

Leather was seen reinterpreted for AW2526 with a focus on combining generationsold and new techniques coexist harmoniously to redefine the past through contemporary methods. Lace fabrics with unusual effects, silk materials that evoke the impression of perforation or wear from being used, and pleats in cotton with a moth-eaten look were among the highlights.

The body-centric theme for this season moved away from fantasy elements like those found in the metaverse towards tactile experiences that reality. The focus shifted to fabrics that drape elegantly, showcase fluid movements, or allow for structural shapes, encompassing knitwear, silk, jersey, cotton, mohr, velvet, and damask.

Dense materials reigned supreme, with fine yarns and rich compositions evoking the structured volume style popularized by Balenciaga. The tr towards using durable natural fibers like silk bled with lyocell, modal, linen, and cotton was showcased as an alternative to synthetics or chemical finishes. High-quality wool-cashmere bls and zibellino-cashmere with a sheen created through thistles were also on display.

In essence, the new season of Premiere Vision emphasized environmentally conscious practices without just relying on certifications or finishing processes. The focus was instead on quality materials that can withstand time and trs.
