High-performance sport is a key driver of technological evolutions in the textile industry. The sports sector is a true test lab for the development of new, innovative fibers and materials to improve athletes’ performance and comfort. Thanks to advances in textile technology, the fibers used are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Techniques such as coating, priming and microencapsulation also make textiles interactive and intelligent, allowing them to adapt to environmental factors and possess antibacterial, thermoregulatory, hydrophilic and even therapeutic properties.

Sportswear is also a fashion phenomenon and is increasingly part of our everyday wardrobe. The exhibition Textimoov! highlights the exciting world of high-tech textile fibers and their integration into sportswear and materials through many concrete examples and trends in the textile industry, and also focuses on important collaborations between major designers and sports brands that show the fusion and democratization of streetwear and sportswear
