MAXXAM and ApparelTASKER to Exhibit at Mare di Moda 2026 in Cannes

British textile innovator MAXXAM Textiles and East London-based garment manufacturer ApparelTASKER will return to Cannes for Mare di Moda 2026, an international exhibition dedicated to swimwear, lingerie, and athleisure fabrics.

The event, scheduled for October 27-29, will highlight an expanded collection of stretch textiles and garments designed for Summer 2027. This collaboration began at Mare di Moda in 2025, where MAXXAM's distinctive crinkle-textured stretch fabric was introduced.

MAXXAM's textile, created by designer Rosemary Moore in the 1980s, features a seamless, four-way stretch with a three-dimensional crinkled surface, accommodating various body shapes. The fabric is part of the permanent collection at London's Victoria and Albert Museum.

The upcoming collection will showcase new garment silhouettes and a vibrant color palette, including citrus orange, lime green, and bright red, highlighting the fabric's versatility in modern fashion.

Sustainability is a key focus for both companies, with MAXXAM exploring lower-waste manufacturing and sustainable yarns, while ApparelTASKER employs zero-waste cutting techniques and transparent production practices.
