PERFORMANCE DAYS, Munich

Expert Talks

Thursday 19th March 2026

09:45 - 10:30 CET

This Performance Days trends presentation decodes the key visual and material directions shaping Bodywear, Activewear, and Outdoor for the Spring/Summer 2028 season. From refined functional aesthetics to expressive performance surfaces, it explores how design language is evolving alongside athlete and consumer expectations.

At the core of these trends is innovation in fibre development — including new yarn technologies, engineered constructions, and circular material solutions that are redefining comfort, durability, and versatility. Together, these insights connect innovation to application, helping brands anticipate what’s next and design with confidence for S/S28.

I will be introducing Jos Berry as a special guest who will be talking about the Female Agenda in all things ONSKIN.
