Munich Fabric Start & Bluezone succeed in reuniting the industry with a parade example for physical trade shows<\/h3>\n

A whole year without physical trade fairs, long months without personal exchange: last week the physical International Fabric Trade Show MUNICH FABRIC START<\/a> and the International Denim Trade Show BLUEZONE<\/a> took place for the textile industry in Munich. The team at Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH is bringing a bit of normality back to the industry, but also to event management.<\/p>\n

More than 600 international suppliers<\/strong> presented their new collections and developments for Autumn.Winter 22\/23 in around 1000 collections<\/strong> in the Fabrics, Additionals, Design Studios, Sourcing, ReSource and Sustainable Innovations areas at MUNICH FABRIC START as well as denim, sportswear and KEYHOUSE at BLUEZONE. Around 13,400 international trade visitors<\/strong> were on site in Munich this season, which compared with exhibiting suppliers marked an increase in visiting fashion brands compared to the edition in September 2019. The organisers are more than happy with this result!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\u00bbOur team is exhausted, but overjoyed: the biggest challenge in our company\u2019s history lies behind us! We actually managed to realise a comparable MUNICH FABRIC START and BLUEZONE with the usual broad portfolio in these times! Until the very last moment, we focused on making the shows a reality \u2013 despite all the challenges, measures and ongoing planning uncertainty. All our efforts were rewarded with all-round positive industry feedback and we can say our Covid-19 compliant trade shows were a complete success. Of course, we kept our expectations cautious due to the situation \u2013 which is precisely why we are so overwhelmed by the great result! It seems as if the whole textile industry was cheering and so grateful to be able to experience a few hours of \u2018business as usual\u2019 again.\u00ab<\/p>\n

A winning Fusion of Bluezone & Keyhouse & well-attended events<\/h3>\n

Under the motto \u201cBACK TO THE FUTURE\u201d , BLUEZONE offered a way back to the tactile experience of textiles and the reunion of the denim community. In addition to international denim weavers and manufacturers, visitors to the Zenith Hall also saw a qualitative selection of KEYHOUSE exhibitors who presented their futuristic innovations for the fashion industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\u00bbBLUEZONE has always scored with a very special atmosphere \u2013 this time we surprised people in the Zenith Hall with an 80\u2019s party feeling. Of course, business was not forgotten: the denim industry is currently brimming with sustainable innovations and new developments, all of which were presented in Munich. And the coal bunker right next door became an inspiring, Covid-19 compliant forum for lectures and panel discussions. Now all we can say is that we are doing everything we can to repeat this success in the following season.\u00ab<\/p>\n

The organisers are also very proud of the success of the event program. Across 16 scheduled programs , information was shared on industry innovations and future-oriented topics, especially relating to circular economy, digital tools and production processes.Highlights included the trend presentation by David Shah and the panel discussions \u201c Closing the Loop \u2013 How circular can the supply chain be? \u201d and on \u201c Local Manufacturing \u2013 A reality or just a temporary green gimmick? \u201c.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\u00bbFirst of all I would like to thank the organisers for the enormous effort \u2013 I can imagine how much work it must have been in these times to realise a trade show and then even continue to offer the great service such as free coffee and free lunch for everyone! We are definitely all super grateful to be here, as you could see in the general joy of the visitors. For me, the three fair days were all about meeting again with live contact again. And my expectations were even exceeded: We were able to welcome a very good quality of visitors from all European countries and I am particularly pleased about the many interested new customers.\u00ab<\/p>\n

\u00bbWe had a really very successful trade fair \u2013 all the important customers came and you could really feel how happy everyone was to finally meet again live. Now we just hope that it will continue like this and that the following events can also take place.\u00ab<\/p>\n

Positive visitor & exhibitor echo despite Covid-19 measures<\/h3>\n

In keeping with the season’s title “RISE”, the visitors were greeted by inspiring, colourful trend forums with unique highlights for Autumn.Winter 22\/23 collection development. In the halls, the industry was able to discover a trade show with the well-known and proven pre-pandemic quality<\/strong> with manufacturers and suppliers presenting in all 8 areas<\/strong>. Non-European suppliers were represented by agencies and offered well-attended show in show concepts.<\/p>\n

The newly formed ReSOURCE x SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS area<\/strong> also drew in the crowds. In a modern atmosphere, information was shared on sourcing sustainable textiles and additionals as well as innovative concepts. Another highlight was the launch of FABRIC.iD<\/a><\/strong>, the innovative process for the complete digitisation of fabrics to greater serve the industry’s digital future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\u00bbWhat a goosebumps moment! Since the second edition of Munich Fabric Start in 1997, I\u2019ve been coming from Paris to Munich every season to look for new fabrics, ideas and colours\u2026 And I can say \u2013 I\u2019ve never looked forward to a fair like this time! It was a lot of fun and my team and I are just happy that it started again. The show has an incredibly pleasant and well-organised atmosphere, in which you simply feel warmly welcomed as a visitor, which is why I was there again on all three fair days! So I can only say: BRAVO and THANK YOU!\u201d Visitor Anja Seidl (France)\u00ab<\/p>\n
