In time for the next edition of VIEW Premium Selection, taking place on December 3rd-4th 2019, here are the top 7 habits of the most successful buyers and project managers.
First things first, book your ticket in advance. Registering a few weeks before the event ensures you skip the registration process on the days of the event, saving you valuable time to get a head start on your trade show visit. Eager to attend our next scheduled event? Register to attend VIEW here
Research which products you are looking for and find the exhibitors ahead of time. Ask your sales teams, what products are the most popular? What fabrics will be essential for your new collections? Are you missing those all-important trim details?
Come prepared with two lists: The ‘Must’ list and the ‘Bonus’ list. The ‘Must’ list will detail the fabrics or trims which you 100% need going forward for the new season. Whereas the ‘Bonus’ list reminds you of the items you would like but factors like budget and design direction or time limitations mean you’re not desperate to lock down. Be clear about your needs and specify; weight; width; colour; fiber; composition or structure.
Arrange to meet with your existing partners as well as new brands at the show. Scheduling in advance means less time spent in queues at that specific supplier and guarantees valuable conversation time. It is important to understand your needs and consider these when booking your appointments. Check out our list of exhibitors in advance here.
As a potential partner, first impressions matter so take the time to prepare a succinct but informative introduction and get ready to talk minimums, turnaround times and of course price. Use targeted questions about the product offering, pricing and manufacturing support.
Munich is a busy city with many events and tourism, booking your accommodation in advance is the easiest way to ensure a stress-free stay in our beautiful city. Check out ahead of the event what’s the best way to travel around the city, SBahn, UBahn, Tram, Bus or Uber. Plan your travel to the MVG Museum for VIEW here.

Modularity is not a new concept. For decades, it has shaped architecture, furniture and industrial design. Applying it to soft textiles, however, opens up an entirely new discussion.
Creativity and curiosity have always been our driving force. Our work evolves through prototypes—never finished, always raising new questions about materials, processes, and possibilities.
Both the fashion and textile industry often celebrates creativity. Yet many of the industry’s creative decisions are made long before a designer ever begins designing. Colour being one of them. The thing is, by the time a designer selects yarn, someone else has already determined the available colours, sequences and combinations. Choice exists, but only within boundaries.
“Through hands-on experimentation, I explore the potential of new surfaces and alternative forms of leather, aiming to reconnect human life with the natural world as an interconnected fabric.”
