It\u2019s the moment when people, ideas, technologies, and industries come together \u2013 when creativity sparks, innovation takes shape, and new ideas are born. It\u2019s the point where everything flows into one, and something fresh begins. One example this season is the HOMEGROWN DENIM LEGENDS collaboration, where BLUEZONE shines the spotlight on influential denim creators and brands from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland \u2013 celebrating their heritage, creativity, and impact on the denim world.    <\/p>\n<p>The project strengthens regional roots, team spirit, and networking within the industry. Kicking off this coming September, the following personalities will be presented: Loeb Strauss (founder of Levi\u2019s, born in Buttenheim), Erwin O. Licher (creator of three German denim brands), and Ruedi Karrer with rare vintage pieces from German and former East German denim brands. <\/p>\n<p>Future Fashion Assembly, in collaboration with Baytech Sustainable Technologies, will host a special innovation project at BLUEZONE. This pilot will present four to six market\u2011ready innovators through curated product showcases, live workshops, buyer roundtables, and targeted networking \u2013 bridging the gap between groundbreaking concepts and scalable, commercially viable solutions. <\/p>\n<p>Tejidos Royo is presenting its first fabric made from 100% pre\u2011consumer recycled cotton, dyed using the resource\u2011saving DRY Indigo\u00ae technology. Calik Denim impresses with versatile concepts ranging from hyper\u2011stretch to workwear heritage, while ISKO introduces RECODE DENIM \u2013 an advanced circular technology that transforms old textiles into premium fabrics<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"spacer-block_edbf943c47bed2d986e6de87bb56ead0\" class='h-5 lg:h-10 ' data-block-id='spacer-block_edbf943c47bed2d986e6de87bb56ead0'><\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"media-slider w-full min-w-0\"  id=\"media-slider-block_b4c3ea12fbaf85d540e6b9d9631d6898\">\n\n  \n    <div class=\"swiper w-full min-w-0 max-w-full\" data-media-slider>\n      <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n                  <div class=\"swiper-slide h-auto\">  <figure class=\"flex flex-col gap-2 lg:gap-4\">\n    <div class=\"relative w-full overflow-hidden aspect-video lg:aspect-[3\/2]\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2716\" src=\"https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/985-w1920.webp\" class=\"absolute inset-0 h-full w-full object-cover\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1024px) 50vw, 100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/985-w1920.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/985-w1920-872x1234.webp 872w, https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/985-w1920-600x849.webp 600w\" \/>    <\/div>\n          <figcaption class=\"font-medium whitespace-pre-line text-theme-24x32\">ISKO<\/figcaption>\n      <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n                  <div class=\"swiper-slide h-auto\">  <figure class=\"flex flex-col gap-2 lg:gap-4\">\n    <div class=\"relative w-full overflow-hidden aspect-video lg:aspect-[3\/2]\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/986-w1920.webp\" class=\"absolute inset-0 h-full w-full object-cover\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1024px) 50vw, 100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/986-w1920.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/986-w1920-872x1090.webp 872w, https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/986-w1920-600x750.webp 600w\" \/>    <\/div>\n          <figcaption class=\"font-medium whitespace-pre-line text-theme-24x32\">Tejidos Royo<\/figcaption>\n      <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n                  <div class=\"swiper-slide h-auto\">  <figure class=\"flex flex-col gap-2 lg:gap-4\">\n    <div class=\"relative w-full overflow-hidden aspect-video lg:aspect-[3\/2]\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/987-w1920.webp\" class=\"absolute inset-0 h-full w-full object-cover\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1024px) 50vw, 100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/987-w1920.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/987-w1920-872x1307.webp 872w, https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/987-w1920-600x899.webp 600w\" \/>    <\/div>\n          <figcaption class=\"font-medium whitespace-pre-line text-theme-24x32\">Calik Denim<\/figcaption>\n      <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n              <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- segmented pagination (Swiper renders one .swiper-pagination-bullet per slide) -->\n    <div class=\"media-slider__pagination swiper-pagination\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n  \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"spacer-block_edbf943c47bed2d986e6de87bb56ead0\" class='h-5 lg:h-10 ' data-block-id='spacer-block_edbf943c47bed2d986e6de87bb56ead0'><\/section>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"richtext-block_ddbae5f0f2ed4d017cedbd308785f4d3\" class=\"richtext\">\n  <h3>MUNIQUE AP\u00c9RO<\/h3>\n<p>On 2 September 2025, we heartily invite you to our MUNIQUE AP\u00c9RO at MOC Atrium 2, starting at 6.30pm.
