Testimonials
Biggest ever London Climate Action Week and creatives are playing their part! London’s global fashion reputation must be matched by climate leadership. I went along to the Future Fabrics Expo, the largest dedicated showcase of sustainable fabrics. Founder Nina Marenzi of The Sustainable Angle took me on an inspiring tour, over 100 exhibitors showcasing more than 10,000 materials! All of us working together to build a greener, cleaner & healthier city for everyone.

In a world of monotony and slim pickings, the Future Fabrics Expo has put together a curated collection of extraordinary textiles and fibres. There is so much innovation and newness, it makes you want to jump out of your skin and get it right away. The surfaces and colours have an incredible effect on the audience and the amount of enthusiasm is palpable. You would have to travel to the end of the earth and back to find even one or two of some of the extraordinary textiles that are on display at FFE.

Future Fabrics Expo was amazing, I learned a lot and came back with strong connections with amazing brands… there were so many leads and strong connections that came out of that show! There are still brands reaching out and asking about materials they saw then.

Participating in the Future Fabrics Expo for the fourth time felt like coming home to a community that truly believes in change. Every year, the event inspires us, but this time it was especially rewarding to see how many brands and companies are now ready to move from conversation to real collaboration. Thanks to the open atmosphere and the quality of connections, we have already started new projects and long-term partnerships with industry leaders who share our vision for sustainable innovation.
Showcasing HILAYA® nettle fiber in this environment allowed us not only to highlight its versatility, but also to witness firsthand how shared values can translate into concrete action. The Expo is much more than a showcase for us - it’s where ideas become reality and where our journey with like-minded partners continues to grow.

FFE is a great occasion for us to explore the new innovation paths that are being followed by the industry, and to meet partners to achieve our sustainability strategies. For Ecoalf, which is a brand with purpose, the alignment of product development with impact and innovation is key, so these kinds of events are extremely useful in order to find the people and the companies with whom we can partner. Attending Future Fabrics Expo is always a moment of excitement and curiosity, to arrive there with our minds open to see what's new, understand problems and solutions that are common to the industry, and create synergies to build new systems, implement new technologies, or innovate in any possible way around textiles and fashion products and supply chains.

Future Fabrics Expo is a standout event for next‑generation materials. The quality of attendance is exceptionally high: visitors come with a clear understanding of what they are looking for, which leads to focused, meaningful conversations. All the right stakeholders are present, including key decision‑makers from leading luxury houses. The event is very well organised and perfectly sized - large enough to be comprehensive, yet compact enough to stay efficient. It is also the place where all the key startups in new‑generation materials come together, making it a highly relevant and valuable platform. We found our participation extremely worthwhile and look forward to returning this year in Brussels.

Thank you to FFE for another fantastic catalyst of an event. I was inspired by the powerful stories of innovation, the perseverance and the deep-rooted conviction that the sector could transform, and the solutions were within our hands and our networks. This was also evident in our panelists themselves who I also want to thank here. When I say “keep up the good work” I mean that fully: we need you!

I loved the panel discussion and had some fascinating conversations regarding the novel fabrics being developed, supply-chain innovators and innovations being made in the recycling process.

It’s my first time at the Future Fabrics Expo — I think it’s a really inspiring event seeing all these innovative fabric designers and creators here. It’s such an exciting ecosystem of innovators, really pushing ahead with sustainable solutions to the problems that we have with oil-based fibres, which are unsustainable and high-impact. It’s a great example of solutions-focused, sustainable and regenerative businesses. It really is the future here.

Quite simply, Future Fabrics Expo is the must-attend event for anyone interested in future materials, emerging technologies, and meaningful education in the textile and fashion space. What makes it truly special is the community it brings together — a growing network of people who come not only to showcase innovations, but to share ideas, challenge each other, debate openly, and collectively explore the very real challenges ahead. Yet, firmly focused on building a better future together. For me personally, it is the only event I leave after two full days feeling more energized than when I arrived. That is a rare achievement, and a testament to the vision, passion, and dedication of the team behind this remarkable event.

The Future Fabrics Expo has been instrumental in elevating our startup, enabling us to forge essential connections that can bring our material innovations to the market. As a start-up, navigating the complexities of large fashion houses to find the right contacts is daunting. However, FFE brings all those key decision-makers together in one place, making the process seamless.

It’s more than a sourcing expo — it’s a much-needed moment of alignment, acceleration, and optimism.
