One of ISPO’s goals is to provide designers and product managers with the most cutting-edge international sports fashion trend information.
As always, this edition of the exhibition showcases the award-winning products from the latest season of the ISPO Functional Textiles Trend Award (Booth No.: 4.416, 1st Floor), presenting the world’s most advanced functional textile innovations to the entire sports goods industry.
Meanwhile, the 2017 China Sports Fashion Trends Forum will be held concurrently on the afternoon of Thursday, February 16, 2017, in Meeting Room M-308 in the conference area.
ISPO has long collaborated with internationally renowned trend research institutions to study various global trends that impact the textile industry and its products, releasing these insights during the ISPO exhibition to forecast future innovations and changes in the sports fashion industry.
ISPO takes this opportunity to share the 2018/19 functional textiles trends, interpreting the major trends of the upcoming season from various perspectives—such as sources of inspiration, consumer behavior, key colors, silhouettes, and individual items—by incorporating changes in key societal information.
