The future is officially Cloud Dream! ☁️ Pantone has announced the Color of the Year, and now the challenge begins: How do we marry this beautiful aesthetic with cutting-edge function? At Functional Fabric Fair Winter, designers and suppliers will be sourcing materials in every shade, ensuring that the trendiest colors also meet the highest standards for performance—whether it’s breathability, waterproofing, or UV protection. Challenge: If you were sourcing for a new line, what functional quality would you demand for a textile in this color?
