DARE & CARE An interview with the organisers of MUNICH FABRIC START about courage, the special, the challenges of the present and the trade show calendar in 2023.<\/p>\n

1. What can exhibitors and visitors expect at MUNICH FABRIC START in January 2023?<\/h3>\n

Sebastian Klinder: As an international fabric trade show and Germany’s leading platform for future-relevant textile innovations in the fashion sector, we are once again creating high-quality formats and offerings at MUNICH FABRIC START <\/a>this season \u2013 from a broad and relevant exhibitor portfolio, to top-class lectures and panels, to trend outlooks and numerous opportunities to connect.<\/p>\n

We are very pleased that around 900 selected international producers will once again be joining us in Munich in January to show their latest trends and innovations on a total exhibition area of around 42,500 square metres \u2013 thus demonstrating that, even in times of uncertainty, we have the courage to think big.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Frank Junker: Nothing ventured, nothing gained \u2013 especially now. The conditions are currently changing and this requires openness to new things and the courage to move forward. Not exuberantly, but with care and deliberation. This is also reflected in our motto this year, “DARE & CARE”. Changes are taking place on all levels: from a new sense of community to the struggle for freedom with protests to hedonism and the celebration of the moment; not least the need for islands of tranquility, for joy and above all for real, human encounters. In these topics and controversies, apart from all the uncertainty, lies an immense potential for inspiration and the power to dare something.<\/p>\n

In a volatile market environment, looking ahead optimistically is easier said than done for many. As a trade show organiser, how do you look to the future?<\/h3>\n

Sebastian Klinder: We are well positioned for the current Spring.Summer 24 edition from 24 to 26 January 2023 and can be very satisfied – in a generally tense situation, MUNICH FABRIC START, BLUEZONE<\/a> and KEYHOUSE<\/a> are all very well booked. This makes us quite positive for the future. Demonstrating reliability, relevance and consistency is what matters now.<\/p>\n

Frank Junker: Our task is to always be surprising, innovative and at the same time market- and solution-oriented. Once again, we have succeeded in this. Despite all the difficulties, we offer the usual high level of service, create new experiences and form a business and trend and information platform for the strong and relevant partners in the industry. That is what makes us so special. Being special pays off.<\/p>\n

3. There is a central change from 2023 \u2013 the summer editions of MUNICH FABRIC START, BLUEZONE, KEYHOUSE and THE SOURCE will take place in the second half of July from now on. What do you expect from this?<\/h3>\n

Frank Junker: With the new date, we are positioning MUNICH FABRIC START and BLUEZONE early in the trade show calendar \u2013 so they fit perfectly into the international events and rhythms. We are ontinuing the positive, motivated and ambitious mood that is evident at the current MUNICH FABRIC START with inspiring new products, innovative content and future-oriented themes, placing them in an even more valuable time slot.<\/p>\n

Sebastian Klinder: With the new trade show dates for MUNICH FABRIC START and VIEW<\/a>, we are giving our exhibitors a wide variety of opportunities to respond to the new needs and changes in the market. We are absolutely convinced that this is an important and right step. With our new schedule, we continue to offer the already proven time slots for ordering and move forward confidently and with the courage to change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
