PERFORMANCE DAYS

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.
