PERFORMANCE DAYS

We’re excited to be part of the Future Fabrics Expo this year, not only as visitors, but with our own PERFORMANCE DAYS booth as part of an ongoing industry collaboration around circular textile innovation.
At the expo, we’ll also bring parts of our latest Focus Topic on Textile-to-Textile Recycling, highlighting key insights, innovators and stakeholders shaping the future of circular textile systems.
Because real progress only happens through exchange, collaboration and strong industry connections.

Come by, connect with us and continue the conversation around textile-to-textile recycling and circularity in practice.

Circularity moves forward through collaboration

PERFORMANCE DAYS has released the updated Textile-to-Textile Recycling Reference Guide, an open industry resource mapping the innovators, research and key players shaping the future of circular textiles.

Built from the insights, conversations and sustainability Focus Topics of the October 2025 and March 2026 shows, the guide brings greater transparency to the evolving T2T ecosystem and supports knowledge sharing across the entire textile value chain.

Curated by Anna Schuster, Head of Sustainability at PERFORMANCE DAYS, the guide is designed as a living resource that will continue to evolve alongside future industry developments and sustainability initiatives.
Explore the updated guide now via the PERFORMANCE DAYS Focus Topic platform.

Swimwear is no longer just seasonal fashion, it has become a space where performance, protection and innovation meet.

From UV-protective fabrics and recycled stretch ripstops to tactile bouclé structures and next-generation jacquards, the new PERFORMANCE DAYS Material Story “Defining the Next Swim Season” explores the future of functional swimwear and bodywear.

Discover the latest material innovations, sourcing highlights and textile developments in the dedicated Bodywear Area at the upcoming PERFORMANCE DAYS, October 13-14.

For those who are new here, welcome! And for everyone already part of our community, let us reintroduce ourselves. 👋

PERFORMANCE DAYS is where the global performance textile industry comes together to discover the latest innovations, explore future trends, exchange knowledge and connect with inspiring people from across the world.

With over 472 exhibitors from more than 30 countries, we are perfectly timed with the industry’s sourcing calendar, making it the go-to destination for developing upcoming collections.

Our next Munich fair is a bit less than 5 months away, to be precise, October 13-14! We would love to see you there!

Looking back at March edition of PERFORMANCE DAYS, a standout moment was the second edition of the Creative Area, created in collaboration with TheCube Archive and Luca Zanatta.
A curated mix of historical garments, vintage performance wear, and forward-thinking material innovation came together to tell one story: performance has always shaped fashion, and continues to push it forward.
More than just technical specs, this space invited us to experience materials through design, culture, and emotion. Where function becomes aesthetic.

We are looking forward to welcoming you again this fall. Save the date! October, 13-14!

More than a trade show, PERFORMANCE DAYS continues to be a working space for the future.
This March edition brought together the people driving change, where dialogue mattered as much as innovation.
Recycling. PFC-free finishes. Odor control.
Three topics, one direction: implementation at scale.
The energy was clear. The willingness to change is growing.
