Seasonal Colour and Fabric Trends
Our seasonal trend books examine the colours, materials, patterns and fabric constructions emerging across different areas of fashion.
They combine visual inspiration with textile references, helping designers and product developers translate trend directions into fabric and product development.

- Seasonal colour palettes with Pantone® references.
- Fabric swatches illustrating colours, textures, patterns and constructions.
- Textile compositions, yarns and fabric details.
- Design directions for specific apparel categories.
- Visual references supporting fabric selection and product development.
Our publications are available in printed and digital formats, depending on the title. Selected printed books include physical fabric swatches, while digital editions provide access to trend information in PDF format.

Digital Fashion Trends
Italtex digital Fashion Trends provide professional colour and fabric forecasts for seasonal womenswear and menswear, researched and compiled by our studio in Biella, Italy.
Each forecast is a starting point for collection work: seasonal directions are identified, colours are referenced, and fabrics are analysed. Designers and stylists build on this information when developing their own boards and presentations. Product developers use it as a basis for discussions with suppliers, with Pantone® codes for colour reference and analysis of the constructions, yarns and finishes to consider.
Mills can use the forecasts to plan fabric ranges, while brands can apply them to garment development. The information can also support product development in related areas, including hats, luggage and accessories.
