At the heart of the upcoming Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Autumn Edition, the Intertextile Directions Trend Forum, themed PUSH SENSATION, will ignite a new narrative for Autumn / Winter 2026-27 fashion trends. From 2 – 4 September 2025 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), Intertextile Directions Trend Committee member NeIlyRodi™ Agency will bring this concept to life, through a creative and inspiring display of on-trend fabrics. This autumn, the forum will explore four key trends that shape the world with the wildest dreams of humankind: gentle > raw, classic > theatrical, childish > bizarre, and pragmatic > dreamlike.
The theme PUSH SENSATION captures the modern desire for intense, unforgettable experiences driven by a need for both escapism and heightened reality. It encourages breaking free from the ordinary, celebrating authenticity, and boldly pursuing a life filled with adventure and fantastical possibilities.
With the theme’s four trends predicted by the members of the Intertextile Directions Trend Committee – DONEGER | TOBE (New York), NellyRodi™ Agency (Paris), ELEMENTI MODA (Milan), and Sachiko Inoue (Tokyo) – the Trend Forum will showcase a selection of fabrics and accessories from exhibitors across the globe, arranged into different sections defined by each trend narrative.
A radical transformation that breaks free from established boundaries, expressing individuality. This trend combines luxurious materials with a theatrical flair, featuring a spectrum that ranges from tender neutrals to intense reds and opulent blues/greens, accented by a hint of copper metallic colour.
Seek a mix of timeless materials such as classic tweed and Shetland wool, alongside dramatic, bold alternatives including lasered fabrics, lustrous leather, and jacquards that push the limit of beauty. This trend also features a wide range of retro geometric and decorative ornate, such as checker pattern, retro undulating, and furnishing inspired florals; a bold expression of creativity and personality that demands innovation and defies convention.
