ISPO recently launched the ISPO Textrends, a trend application which provides an overview of top textile innovations for 2017-18 and information to designers and product developers in performance textiles.

The iOS app is a digital version of its trend book, which is a source of information, guidance, and support for the development of upcoming sportswear collections. The app also offers information and highlights of the trade fair ISPO Munich 2016 to interested parties.

The app also provides some handy additional functions. The user can search for a specific product, compare products, sort them into lists and share findings with others who may be interested. The app allows users to contact the manufacturer directly or view their contact details.

Markus Hefter, ISPO exhibition group director, said, “Due to the high demand for the trend book, we decided to offer a new 2017/18 trend app for iOS. This means that the ISPO Textrends information will be available to all interested parties in digital format going forward.”
