Spring/Summer 2016 highlights a creative and renewed interest in colour and texture within fabrics. Pastel colours in particular are predicted to perform well for retailers as a year-round colour theme; expanding across casual, fancy and sportswear markets. 

European and International Mills are also re-focusing on surface texture and supporting the refinement of fancy yarns and discreet texture.

Lastly, the influence of denim is forming where watery inspirations from poolside collections to inky washes of blue are the focus in prints and patterns.
