At April’s Functional Fabric Fair, Hologenix’s flagship technology, CELLIANT, stands proudly among the top influencers of the textile industry. Stop by booth 714 to explore the latest advancements in bio-responsive textiles, examine samples and engage with the CELLIANT team to delve deeper into how their brand can stand out with CELLIANT’s state-of-the-art infrared technology.
CELLIANT is a proprietary blend of naturally occurring minerals designed to capture and convert body heat into infrared energy. This clinically demonstrated textile tech taps into the body’s inherent energy to enhance performance and unlock human potential, making it an ideal showcase for the Functional Fabric Fair.
This season’s Functional Fabric Fair is focused on outdoor, lifestyle and active wear functional textiles and accessories and will highlight the themes below:
These topics align well with CELLIANT, and we are thrilled to showcase our brand to future brand partners. Let’s look deeper into the above themes as they pertain to CELLIANT.
This event unveils the latest advancements in products and technologies set to impact the market, offering an exclusive preview of the trends shaping the 2025/2026 Spring season. While Hologenix and CELLIANT have established their presence over the years, the CELLIANT brand remains committed to pioneering product innovation.
In 2022, CELLIANT forged a strategic partnership with UNIFI, a global leader in textile solutions, to integrate groundbreaking infrared technology into REPREVE® recycled fibers. This collaboration began with recycled polyester, resulting in the innovative product CELLIANT with REPREVE rPET. REPREVE is renowned for its dedication to sustainability, transforming recycled materials – particularly plastic bottles and fiber waste – into premium fibers and yarn.
Responding to demand for sustainable textile options, CELLIANT and REPREVE have expanded their partnership to incorporate recycled nylon, proudly introducing CELLIANT with REPREVE Recycled Nylon. Previous breakthroughs include our award-winning innovations showcased at ISPO Textrends, CELLIANT Print, CELLIANT Pure White, CELLIANT Viscose.
As the CELLIANT brand gains prominence, a recurring theme highlighted by the CELLIANT team is the belief that “the future of wearable technology lies in the fabric”. This concept underscores the advantages of embedding IR technology into fabrics and the passive benefits it offers users, offering insight into the envisioned future of textiles.
In April of 2022, Functional Fabric Fair initiated a significant step towards transparency by highlighting CO2-reducing innovations within brands, aiming to cater to eco-conscious consumers and foster collaboration with brand partners. Since November of 2022, Functional Fabric Fair has proudly disclosed the CO2 emissions associated with each product within their focus topic category dubbed “The Journey to Carbon Neutrality”.
Excitingly, for the upcoming spring edition, Functional Fabric fair will debut the Day 0 Conference: Sustainability Workshop Behinds the Seams Series. Scheduled for April 16th, one day ahead of the exhibit hall opening, this seminar and workshop combination will feature insightful discussion, hands on activities and roundtable sessions facilitated by industry experts. CELLIANT eagerly anticipates engaging in these meaningful conversations at Functional Fabric Fair Portland.
