Jury Week at PERFORMANCE DAYS.
This season we welcome a few guests to the table: Yasemin Malcolm (Uvex), Tom White (Under Armour), Eva Gruber (JET SET), Birgit Gahlen (The Woolmark Company), Johannes Fürst (Natural Laboratory), Dominik Fuss (Natural Laboratory) and Jenni Toft (Nura). Together with our team they go through every submission, compare perspectives and decide which fabrics maket it to the forums or take the awards.

Two days of hands-on work with the materials, then the results go on the tables.
Find the award winners in our Trend Forum at the fair.

Thank you to: Marco, Claus, Clarissa, Regina, Stefan, Ute, Anna, Stephen, Alexa, Viktoria, Nichole

Fabrics that sense heat, humidity, and movement, then adjust before you even feel the shift. Climate-responsive textiles are one of the clearest signals we’re seeing from developers this season. From phase-change fibers to moisture-reactive knits, adaptive comfort is no longer just an outdoor story, it’s showing up in workwear and everyday performance pieces too. Have you tested a climate-responsive fabric in your latest collection?

Ever wondered what’s really happening inside a high-performance shell jacket?

We’re cutting one in half to show you.
Introducing the Garment Tech Forum, new at PERFORMANCE DAYS this October. A dedicated space in Hall A6 where you’ll find benchmark garment construction from leading manufacturers, organized across 5 categories: Construction, Seams & Bonding, Adjustments, Branding, and Wearables & Specials.
The centerpiece? A shell jacket split down the middle, revealing every layer of its internal build. Scan the QR code on each mock-up to connect straight to the manufacturer behind it.

Material spotlight: Grown, not manufactured.

 The next wave of performance textile materials isn’t being manufactured in the traditional sense, it’s being biofabricated.

 Mycelium-based leather alternatives develop from fungal networks in a matter of weeks before being processed into durable material. Orange peel byproducts are being transformed into cellulose-based fibers with a silk-like feel. Algae-derived fibers are further out, still working through the challenges of scaling for commercial production.

 This isn’t a sustainability tagline, it’s material science exploring new feedstocks and new production processes, each at a different stage of maturity.

 Swipe through for a primer on what these materials are, how they’re made, and where each one still needs to prove itself before it’s ready for large-scale sourcing.

 Save this for your next sourcing conversation. See you October 13–14!

Natural fibers aren’t the “traditional” choice at a functional fabric fair but they’re one of the smartest.
Wool regulates temperature and resists odor without a single chemical finish. Cotton and linen breathe in ways synthetics still try to engineer their way toward. And at end of life, they biodegrade instead of shedding microplastics for decades.
Performance doesn’t always mean lab-made. Sometimes it means paying attention to what’s been working for centuries.
