PARLEY X POSITIVE MATERIALS: FUTURE FABRICS 2025
This year at Magazine London, we collaborated with the Portugal-based company on an exhibit exploring the future of color
Each year, the vibrant energy around Sustainable Angle’s Future Fabrics Expo grows. This year at Magazine London, the showcase was packed with material innovators and biofabricators displaying inventions that aim to radically transform the world of fashion and textiles. It’s a two-day event that isn’t just about individuals or their companies, but a global community with a shared mission – to reimagine our material world. The expo is a genuine highlight of our year and an initiative that we’re proud to have partnered on in recent years.
At the Future Fabrics Expo 2025, we linked up with Positive Materials, a textile company who operate at the intersection of technology and manufacturing in the textile hub of Portugal, and created an exhibition called The Future Of Color. This project is a response to the wasteful, harmful dyeing processes that the fashion and textile industry currently adopts en masse. 80% of the dye-containing wastewaters produced are released untreated into waterways, damaging processes that have toxic impacts on the health of humans, animals and plants.
To that end, the Parley and Positive Materials teams investigated new dyeing technologies with the aim of discovering new capabilities for non-harmful solutions in fashion and beyond, through extensive trials and testing. What we exhibited at the Future Fabrics Expo was the result of our experts and specialists’ experiments, a wall that displayed biofabricated, recycled and natural colors – a glimpse into the future of non-harmful dye. Opposite the Future Of Color exhibition was our Parley Future Material booth, on which we partnered with our longtime, close collaborators Bananatex. Here, we showcased our ready-to-wear collection with Sky High Farm Universe and other revolutionary products from the Parley Future Material network created by innovators such as Nuvi, Sparxell and Ponda.
