Heimtextil focuses on ‘New Sensitivity’ of new textiles

Under the theme New Sensitivity, textile transformation will be a focus of Heimtextil Trends 24/25 at the Heimtextil international trade fair which is scheduled from January 09-12, 2024 at Frankfurt, Germany. New resilient crops like cactus, hemp, abaca, seaweed and rubber offer new sustainable textile solutions, the focus will be on innovations and changes in the composition of textiles, in addition to aesthetic aspects, according to Heimtextil organiser Messe Frankfurt.

After last year’s focus on Circular Solutions, Heimtextil Trends 24/25 will once again shed light on transformative textile innovations. Also the adoption of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is transforming current times. AGI has the potential to bring innovative solutions and help tackle significant challenges, also in the textile industry. However, AGI can have the opposite effect on society. AGI needs the mindset of New Sensitivity that helps simplify complexity, expand creativity, and find unseen solutions, also within the world of textiles.
