Introduction: The plain weave factory has proposed a series of solutions to these problems. At the Première Vision fabric show, they exhibited some of the recyclable fibers under development, such as tannins, cotton, marine plastics, and polyester fibers. Water reduction measures during dyeing and trimming are also key, as are the addition of environmentally friendly cellulose, reduction of chemical production, organic cutting processes and the continued development of alternative fibers such as ramie.

In the autumn and winter of 2018/19 Première Vision's popularity and dynamism were better than before. Exhibitors were up 3% year-on-year and the total number reached 1,961.

Luxurious touch: Geometric and floral jacquard, corduroy and mesh structures infuse aesthetics into velvet, plush and wool printed fabrics.

Stereo & Convex Surfaces: The volumetric surfaces, whether they are presented in conventional or organic form, are popular, and the widest range of applications for combing, quilting, and shrinking structures are the best examples.

In the autumn/winter season of 2018/19, a large number of woven and jersey knit fabrics were presented with a textured tweed effect, which was in line with the forecast of the Tianjue Ling trend. The large-sized volumetric texture woven from advanced woollen yarns is used to match the carefully laid out small-scale pattern effects. Curly yarns, dry wool knot yarns, and tailored and wrapped metal ribbon yarns are used to weave delicate decorative jacquard fabrics. The warm autumn palette consisting of rust red, brown, black and plant green is the preferred color , Cobalt blue, bright pink and yellow make it more suitable for suits and coats.

The excellent breathability and feel of indigo and tannin-like fabrics, lightweight or feathered single- and double-sided jersey, and burned, looped and double-sided structures all play an important role. Flammé and dyed yarns are given dry touch and irregular surface textures; woven fabrics made from blended dry cotton, wool, and polyester fibers are washed with a faded indigo effect. The transition season dominates, but quilting, plush and loop handling are still common on cotton and man-made blends.

The compacted felt fabric became more elastic during the fall/winter season of 2018/19, and developed along two distinct paths. Decorative delicate sensuous textures dominate opacity and the contrast between tulle and irregular and shrinkage treatments. Plaid and mesh are the keys, and the fabrics brought by Euromaglia and A-Girls are also treated with shrinkage and burnout, making them more environmentally friendly and three-dimensional. In addition, the non-textured plain weave fabric presented by the double action structure of the sport wind is more smooth; the clipped and brushed surfaces are mostly woven with luxurious wool yarns.

Plush, teddy and velvet fabrics are still the key to this season, but they have become more decorative. Regardless of size, the corduroy feels smooth or rough and is suitable for both men and women. Flocked fabrics are added with a lot of pattern effects; large-sized and irregularly-designed jacquard fabrics are rendered in a grid effect. Rough velvet is used with classic smooth and coarse velvet.

Comfortable and soft fabrics continued to evolve during the season, and a series of natural fur fabrics and wool teddy fabrics of different weights mentioned in the trend forecast of Tianjue Ling are very representative. The large size 100% wool fabrics brought by Minami combine both volume and texture; wool, alpaca and polyester fabric blends have a slightly felt feel. Tesj uses mohair to create a plush feel. The terry fabrics are mostly rubbed gray and supplemented with contrasting wool backings, which are suitable for use in transitional seasons; however, these fabrics are generally full of sports and leisure atmosphere.

As the philosophical trend forecast report described, the geometric design returns in the autumn/winter of 2018/19. Small, medium-sized geometric repeat patterns appear on smooth jacquard cotton, with medieval palettes made of olive green, blue, and black, making them the preferred choice for men's clothing. Eye-catching multi-color effects and decorative patterns can invigorate the fabric, so the classic men's theme has become more dynamic.

Unlike previous autumn and winter shows, the traditional suit fabrics for winter and winter 2018/19, such as checkered patterns, houndstooth patterns, and pinstripes, have consistently become softer regardless of quality and weight. Comfortable brushed fabrics, such as window-type checkered fabrics, blankets, checkered patterns, and scalloped fabrics, are oversized, and the brushed yarns give them a pleasing feel, in line with the 2018/19 Fall Winter Doctrine Trend Prediction. content. These wool and artificial yarn blends are best used to create warm winter coats, jackets and sweaters, with a preference for black and white ash and brightened with warm yellow, red and cobalt blue.

The inspiration for the men's business suit from the jersey weaving fabric is also the focus of our 2018/19 Premère Vision New York Fabric Show and the 2018/19 Autumn Winter Fabrics Purchase Guide. Canine teeth and the Prince of Wales are the key to plaids, and the stripes of both academic temperament and formal suits cannot be ignored. Tup Merserize's hard and crisp styling and Euro Jersey's repetitive prints are kept simple; the brushed and flocked fabrics shown by Tesj and Fantasie Tricot, and the recyclable cotton developed by Tinetex all have a rich soft touch. Green and red highlight the classic winter palette of grey and navy blue.

From ingeniously small sizes to exaggerated large sizes, designers use ingenious structural adjustments to give the irregular surface an exquisitely combed texture. Vilartex's irregular quilted jacquard fabric is made of environmentally friendly castor and cotton. Minami utilizes felting technology to add crumpling and dry feel to wool and cotton; Djic's smooth finish imparts a more decorative sheen to polyester and stretch fabrics. Grey tones and whites are the preferred color matching for this casual fabric theme, and are best used to make sportswear and outerwear.

As described in the 2018/19 Autumn/Winter Convergence Trend Forecast Overview, quilting and three-dimensional structures are rendered in large sizes with a more coarse and urban appeal. The geometric pattern features a matratic relief and an irregular camouflage design. The bright warning oranges and yellows stand out from the crowded gray, ideal for use alone or in combination. Regular grids of varying sizes, hexagonal and chevron patterns are also common and are used to decorate cotton and artificial yarn blends.

2018/19 autumn winter focuses on winter flowers, luxurious texture effects combined with metallic printing, flocking cloth and velvet. Lined fabrics, such as brocade, are still the source of inspiration for this season's fabrics; single-sided to double-faced variations can make jersey fabrics look more refined. Vilartex is a good example. Jacquard is full of hand-painted aesthetics, both the smooth cotton and man-made blend fabrics have been given two-color simulation printing effect.

As a key trend of the commercial market's T-table, party outfits continued to evolve, especially metallic colors played an important role in the 2018/19 Première Vision fabric exhibition. From exquisite to gorgeous, all kinds of metal processing and colors all over the exhibition. Rose gold and pink, blue, navy, and black and white versions are common. From colorful to gold foil effects and sparkle prints, global and local decorative patterns are key to surface treatment. For a more aesthetically pleasing effect, try a black crepe double-jersey with metallic luster like Fantasie Tricot, or learn A-Girls to create a gold and silver damask loop-back jersey.

Innovative high-tech fabrics create a tactile and three-dimensional effect with embossing, double-sided, and coating treatments. Double-sided, bright-colour pickling is the key to giving a luxurious muslin matte feel, paper and waxy finish. In addition, the semi-matt black fabric Tintex brings is made of cork from industrial waste. Crack coating, global embossing, and perforation processes are also commonplace. There are also a number of innovative fabrics worthy of attention, such as Fantasie Tricot's double-faced velvets, discolored hot-jersey and sporty bright-colored quilted polyester fabrics.
