💌 From Rut’s Studio

Hello lovely community,

As the summer sun warms us, I’ve been reflecting on how fashion can be both a tool of self-expression and a force for systemic change.

At MovingMood, we’re shaping an industry where everyone feels seen, celebrated, and included.

Let’s keep growing together. I’d love to hear what “inclusive fashion” means to you. Share your thoughts with me — I’m always listening.

Top Adaptive Fashion Trends in 2025

As adaptive design moves further into the mainstream, 2025 is proving to be a breakthrough year.

Key developments include:

Smart textiles that regulate temperature and respond to body movement, improving comfort for all bodies;

Integrated wearable tech, such as biometric sensors and discreet haptics, adding functionality without compromising style;

Sensory-friendly, fashion-forward garments using flat seams, soft materials, and magnetic closures — blending aesthetics with ease of use.

These innovations reflect a powerful shift: adaptive fashion is no longer a niche — it’s a leading edge of design thinking.

Crystal Denim’s CirClimate: biodegradable, climate-adaptive denim

Crystal Denim (part of Crystal International Group) has launched a capsule of fully biodegradable jeans.

Crafted from Eastman Naia™ Acetate Renew and TENCEL™, featuring compostable packaging and removable buttons.

This climate-adaptive denim regulates temperature and wicks moisture—designed to perform across seasons while embodying the “Design to Disappear” philosophy for circularity.

Why this matters: it demonstrates how garment design can merge environmental sustainability, adaptability in function, and inclusivity—without sacrificing style. It’s a powerful model for future-proof fashion.

Adaptive Footwear with AI Fit Customisation

Start-up “Formly” is pioneering AI-driven shoes that adapt in real-time to gait and swelling — particularly supportive for individuals with fluctuating mobility. This kind of tech is reshaping comfort and autonomy in daily wear.

Formly uses AI to monitor gait, swelling, and pressure in real time, adjusting support and cushioning on the go. Their goal? Shoes that offer balanced comfort for people with fluctuating mobility—helping them stay active all day .

Cutting‑edge Smart Textiles

Introducing BIT: Battery‑free, IC‑less Smart Textile Interface – a groundbreaking textile technology unveiled in 2025.

These fabrics incorporate multi‑resonant circuits and wireless power transfer, enabling sensors woven directly into clothes to function without batteries or rigid electronics.

How it transforms adaptive fashion:

• Lightweight & durable: Fully washable and flexible, ideal for everyday wear.

• Seamless integration: Sensors and coils are embedded at the fibre level, preserving comfort and aesthetics.

• Continuous health monitoring: Potential for real‑time data (heart rate, movement), ideal for garments supporting ageing, chronic conditions, or post‑surgery needs.

This is more than tech—it’s a vision of clothing that senses, adapts, and supports, without compromise.
