ENGINEERING A COOLER FUTURE

(ENGINEERING A COOLER FUTURE)

In the field of innovation, a new area of research is emerging: cooling the planet, whatever it takes.

Faced with the climate emergency, experts are exploring geoengineering solutions, including audacious methods like cloud brightening and reflecting solar rays back into space.

Aimed at moderating global warming, these emerging climate intervention technologies shape the contours of a planet in search of solutions. On another scale, the Fashion industry is rethinking not only industrial processes and equipment but also clothing itself—its uses and functions.

Sun protection, previously limited to the world of cosmetics, is now inspiring textile innovations. Take, for instance, Melwear, a research project by designer Maca Barrera based on a secondskin anti-UV fabric that mimics the epidermis, infused with melanin derived from bacteria. Meanwhile, Coldblack®, a fabric finish by Schoeller Technologies which is already on the market, with a UV protection index of 30, enables dark tones to stop absorbing heat. Like a solar reflector, it effectively shields against UV rays.

To protect against heat, modern textile advancements now enable the creation of thermoregulating materials designed to wick away moisture, control perspiration, and enhance ventilation.

Technologies such as Uniqlo’s AIRism, Nike’s Dri-Fit, and Adidas’ Climachill incorporate technical fibers to provide comfort and coolness during physical exertion. Initially created for sportswear, these innovations are now influencing the entire readyto-wear market.

The fashion industry is also looking to natural and low-tech solutions to provide comfort in high temperatures, with oversized cuts, gauzy weaves, openwork, laser cuts, technical lace, and mesh guaranteeing lightness and ventilation. Regarding materials, natural fibers are also making a comeback thanks to their climate-friendly properties, including linen — a material used for centuries, prized for its cooling effect and breathability — and wool, a staple of winter wardrobes which is making its way into summer attire thanks to its body temperature regulating properties.

Whether through innovation or returning to the garment’s original purpose, fashion continues to reinvent itself in the face of the climate crisis, exploring new solutions in a rapidly changing world.

37

Lastly, the psychological and physical power of color also plays an essential role in the perception of freshness. Light shades, by reflecting sunlight, have a truly refreshing effect—a technique already favored in urban planning. In clothing, this chromatic choice, paired with other innovations, is simple and effective.

In response to the summer’s heat, a refreshing palette gains ground for Spring-Summer 26, with cool blues and greens that serve as functional shades in collections, reflecting the mood for lightness and breathability.

Blues — Greens

17

There’s a decline in the use of simple, classic blues. A demand for more sophisticated shades, already visible in prior seasons, is helping shift blues toward turquoise and violet tones. The influence of green lends more subtlety to blues, now used as a prominent statement color rather than serving as a neutral.

19

17_ETHEREAL SKY, a glacier blue conjures up images of icy,

Nordic summer destinations. An emerging color in both the women’s and men’s markets, this new sky blue is more modern than naïve, used as an accent in bags and closeto-the-body layers like shirts, jerseys, and sports apparel.

18

19_CHALK BLUE, with a slight grayish undertone, is an

emerging trend, used to update soft and fluid women’s wear - from dresses to silkies, lace, and mousselines... bringing sophistication for a formal yet unconventional look.

20

11

More intense blues, like 18_CALM BLUE and 20_IODINE BLUE, are well established in collections. Intended for cutting-edge design apparel and outerwear influenced by sports cuts. Suitable for men’s and women’s markets, in fabrics as well as leathers.

Greens continue to have a major influence in the men’s market and are more of a classic in the women’s market. These shades are widely marketable, low-risk, and consistently seen on runways and in e-shops, with a strong track record.

11/ DETOX GREEN, hovering between sage and chlorophyll, embodies a need for freshness and calm.

14/ OXYGEN GREEN, a pastel tinted with a touch of

mint, lightens and cools down the palette. A deceptively natural emerging shade for summer, used in solids for base layers, in color-block compositions, or as accents.
