Margot Leverrier and Jonas Gustavsson, Master’s students at the Swedish School of Textiles, were finalists for the international Loro Piana Knit Design Award 2025. The competition highlights talented students from leading design schools around the world, with a strong focus on innovation in knitwear and sustainable use of materials.

The Swedish School of Textiles presented a selection of twelve design-based projects exploring and challenging the future conditions of fashion at Eric Ericsonhallen from 2–5 June. The themes included body-centric wearability, sustainable production, circular consumption models, and design as a tool for change.

At first meeting, Svenja Keune's ideas and research in the artistic field might seem far away from being related to traditional textile design. She explores the connections that can develop between plants, insects, and textiles.

At the event “Sustainable Textile & Fashion by Sweden”, held during Expo 2025 in Osaka, diverse voices from the Swedish and Japanese fashion industries came together to explore the future of sustainable fashion.

A new step towards the future of materials research has been taken at the University of Borås. With the establishment of a new cell culture laboratory, doors are opening to the development of groundbreaking innovations in textiles, biomaterials, and food—where human health and environmental impact are at the forefront.
