MUNICH FABRIC START & BLUEZONE - Essential and efficient

ESSENTIAL AND EFFICIENT

CLOSING REPORT

MUNICH FABRIC START | BLUEZONE | KEYHOUSE | THE SOURCE

5. September 2024

The international textile tradeshow MUNICH FABRIC START draws a positive conclusion: the formats MUNICH FABRIC START, THE SOURCE, KEYHOUSE, and BLUEZONE are strategically well-positioned. Over two days, the most important decision-makers from the international textile and fashion industry met in Munich. Highlights included over 1,000 collections showcasing fabric trends and material innovations for Autumn.Winter 25/26, Li Edelkoort’s return, and collaborations along the supply chain.

Essential, highly inspiring, and extremely effective – after two content-rich days, the international fabric trade show MUNICH FABRIC START came to an end. The consensus among visitors is surprisingly consistent: MUNICH FABRIC START, together with THE SOURCE, BLUEZONE, and KEYHOUSE, is one of the most important fabric trade shows for the European fashion industry and is thus of immense significance. On 40,000 square meters, international fabric and ingredient manufacturers showcased around 1,000 collections with trends for Autumn.Winter 25/26. After two days, the trade show closed with 10% fewer visitors. The brands present on-site included designers, product managers, and buyers from adidas, Aigner, Akris, Alberto, Anna van Toor, Armed Angels, Baldessarini, Bestseller, Betty Barclay, BMW, Bogner, Brax, Camel Active, Chloé, Cinque, Comma, Condé Nast, Dariadéh, Digel, Drykorn, eBay, Escada, Esprit, Eterna, Gardeur, Gerry Weber, Hessnatur, Holy Fashion Group, HSE, Hugo Boss, Lagerfeld, Lanius, Lodenfrey, Luisa Cerano, Mac, MalaikaRaiss, Maloja, Marc Cain, Marc O’Polo, März, Mey, More&More, Olsen, Ortovox, Oui, Peek & Cloppenburg, Riani, s.Oliver, Schumacher, Seidensticker, Sportalm, Strellson, Talbot Runhof, Tchibo, Trigema, Triumph, Vaude, or Wolford.
Compression without compromise: With a duration of two days, the Munich textile show has become more efficient. At the same time, a new arrangement of the FABRICS and STUDIOS areas on the upper floor of the MOC, as well as the integration of KEYHOUSE into BLUEZONE on the Zenith Area, has shortened the walking distances and created new synergies.

“We had a very lively first day with an atmospheric get-together in the evening. We would have wished for a stronger second day. Regarding the timing, the alignment of the duration of MUNICH FABRIC START, THE SOURCE, BLUEZONE, and KEYHOUSE, and the reorganization of various tradeshow areas, we have been confirmed that we made the right strategic decision. MUNICH FABRIC START is appreciated, desired, and needed. That’s what matters.”

Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director MUNICH FABRIC START

“We have experienced a lot of appreciation over the last two days, which feels good. What we set up here together with our team is done with a lot of passion, especially for our industry. The textile industry continues to face significant challenges in a difficult economic environment. Now more than ever, we all need to pull together.”

Frank Junker, Creative Director & Partner MUNICH FABRIC START

“I love this tradeshow! And I am incredibly grateful that it exists. Because we need it – not just to stay informed: For Winter 1, we no longer need fabrics, but there is still a lot to clarify with the manufacturers. We use MUNICH FABRIC START as a check-up to discuss and negotiate prices. For Winter 2, on the other hand, we are still open and looking around. Does the shortened time affect us? No, we have always been here for just two days. That’s enough for us.“

Susanne Schwenger, Chief Product Officer, Marc O’Polo

“It’s the first time I‘m visiting BLUEZONE. For Chloé it’s important that a Designer constantly gains knowledge and experience to foster the design capability. Tradeshows are an important part for this. Denim is NOT just another fabric. To make educated design decisions, it’s crucial meeting different people and discuss topics like new innovations and sustainability. BLUEZONE is a very positive experience. I like the size of the event and the energy here. Different to other tradeshows are the workshops. It’s nice to actually try out things and not just discuss them in theory.”

Angela Fusco, Senior Denim Designer, Chloé

Upcoming Trends Autumn.Winter 25/26: Intuition and Illustration

The theme of the 54th edition of MUNICH FABRIC START was “Intuition”, which ran like a red thread through the entire event. In a time when uncertainty and change shape the fashion industry, one relies on the power of inner instincts and creative intuition. “Intuition” stands for breaking free from predefined rules and instead trusting one’s gut feeling and subtle perception of trends. This season’s trend themes focus on human emotions: RESILIENCE, LUCID DREAM, GENTLE POWER, SOLITAIRE, and RECONNECT. RESILIENCE and LUCID DREAM reflect the need for protection and security in uncertain times and the return of romance. GENTLE POWER refers to the peace and energy of nature, inspired by the contrast of vulnerability and strength. SOLITAIRE and RECONNECT represent the return of glamour, sharpness, and the merging of tradition and technology in fashion. This was reflected not only in the showcased collections but also in the around 40 keynotes, panel discussions, trend presentations, and Q&A sessions with more than 50 renowned industry experts.

Li is back

After five years, the globally significant trend researcher Li Edelkoort returned to MUNICH FABRIC START on September 4, 2024, and inspired the audience live with her exclusive Private Lecture. Under the theme “Illustration”, she presented the trends for Autumn.Winter 25/26 and provided exciting insights into future developments in fashion and textiles, as well as upcoming color trends. She relies not only on photographs but also on paintings and posters to visualize her predictions. As the main trend for the next season, she identified Paris – as a city, as a feeling, and as effortless elegance. With all the unrest in the world, she calls for establishing a fashionable contrast: harmonious and orderly rather than chaotic and disordered. “With everything that is happening in the world, all the war and chaos, we need to clean up. At least lookwise. Our outfits need to look very put together and neat and symbolize all the good. Let´s have a bit of humor and creativity. We say no to bad feelings!” Edelkoort stated. Her return to Munich marked a highlight of the fair and reaffirmed her status as a leading voice in trend forecasting.

“We were practically overwhelmed by customers today. We were able to establish many good contacts – from startups to medium-sized companies to the big players, they were all there. The summer party after the first day was a real happening. Very few shows offer such attention to detail. For me, gettogethers are a basis for networking – especially for young people and career entrants who are rather reserved at the tradeshow.”

Moritz Michel Wilke, District Sales Manager, We Nordic

“The new layout is perfect. It is concentrated, and customers can navigate the tradeshow much more easily. This makes it more effective for everyone. Compared to the previous show, it felt like there was a bit more traffic. The atmosphere was very good. I am very satisfied with both days. Hugo Boss, Holy Fashion Group, Meindl, Hauber, Riani, Mac Mode, and Change – they were all there.”

Christiani Torri, Pontoglio (Agentur Berner)

Techknowledge

One word was unavoidable in the lecture program with the around 40 talks and forecasts: Collaboration. The industry is focusing on cooperation to address current challenges such as recycling issues and related EU regulations – thus, a major emphasis is on new network structures, cooperation platforms, and holistic thinking. “We are in an exciting innovative phase. Different concepts can coexist in parallel as they address different niches,” says Drishti Masand, Circularity & Circular Economy Expert at Adidas. With the T-Rex project, Adidas supports an EU initiative developing industry-wide blueprints for a functioning circular economy.

Think Tanks such as KEYHOUSE play a central role as a link between designers, research, and industry stakeholders. A major attraction was the digital direct printing experience by Brother and Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences. In a collaborative workspace, visitors had the opportunity to be creative and print their results live on-site. Simon Angel, curator of SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS, summarizes: “We are questioning the status quo – that’s why we are here. The industry needs inspiration, and we need partners from the sector to make a real impact.” Since 2016, a staple of KEYHOUSE, SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS this September showcased some of the most future-proof textile developments for industrial problem-solving at the stands and in the joint panel, including Fabulous Fungi, Ilse Kremer, Studio Joris De Groot, Knit In Motion by Suzanne Oude Hengel, Rietgoed By Iris Veentjer, and Studio Tjeerd Veenhoven. Also in focus are the automation and digitalization of sustainability strategies. Exhibitors like Trace Momentum and tex.tracer present their solutions for clean data collection along the value chain towards a user- friendly digital product passport. AI providers and individualized, thus less wasteful, printing processes are also featured at KEYHOUSE. Due to renovation work, KEYHOUSE this time was located in the midst of BLUEZONE in Hall 7.

“For us, this is fantastic. We see ourselves as innovators in the jeans industry – MUNICH FABRIC START allows us to connect with relevant partners.”

Julio Perales, Technical Segment Manager Denim, Archroma

“We really do business here! The show doesn’t limit exchange to a quick hello. At BLUEZONE you really have space to sit down and go through your collection with your customers, to talk details and actually make deals. This is especially important for us, as Germany is a key market for denim. We are really happy with the organization, whenever we faced challenges the MFS-team was there to solve it.”

Dilek Erik, Global Marketing Manager, Sharabati

“I haven’t been to MUNICH FABRIC START and BLUEZONE for 8 to 10 years. It changed a lot. I really like it that the two tradeshows are on at the same time. What they showcase in regards of material innovation & tech is quite universal. In the denim community we are very tightening. The denim heads stick together. It’s nice to be surrounded by complete strangers. It broadens your horizon. MUNICH FABRIC START gives us a platform to cross pollinate. No other denim show does that. It’s the same with BLUEZONE and KEYHOUSE. How great is that: I’ve just seen 3D-printing onto denim. It’s amazing. The future of denim is tech & science.”

Amy Leverton, Trend Forecaster, Denim Dudes

BLUEZONE: Patches, Five-Pockets and Distressed Fabric

At BLUEZONE in the Zenith Area, over 70 international denim mills showcased their latest developments for denim and sportswear. The denim community discussed new guidelines for the industry. The kickoff was provided by Tilmann Wröbel, who, under the event theme “DENIMINED,” highlighted the seven central trend directions for the industry: Pimp my waist, Digital Denim Art, Skinny What, Tech it Easy, Free Your Denim Mind, There is Hope in Green, and Design Exaltation.

DENIMINED runs through the trend presentations and talks – the industry shows itself innovative in Munich. New digital printing techniques, dyeing, and finishing technologies underscore the strength of BLUEZONE in bringing the value chain closer together. Beyond the trends, addressing the sustainable impact of the industry remains a central theme. Collaboration is also key here – the Denim Deal has a positive balance and expands with a Germany Hub to Germany. Signatories of the Denim Deal include Advanced Denim, AGI Denim, Bossa, Calik, CBL, DNM, Kipas, Maritas, Naveena, Orta, Realteks, and Sharabati. “We think pre-competitively – to create the foundation for a successful circular economy – which also includes good communication to make circularity tangible as a product advantage,” says Max Gilgenmann, Co-CEO – studio MM04. Intuition meets Innovation – MUNICH FABRIC START has once again demonstrated how the communities from Denim, Fabrics, and Innovation inspire each other and collectively pave the way to the future.

ADDITIONAL VOICES ON MUNICH FABRIC START

“Even after COVID, trade shows like MUNICH FABRIC START remain extremely important for our industry. Both we exhibitors and the customers need to understand this. MFS is the place to be, where people come together. The digital product passport will be a necessity in the future. This has put us in a kind of hybrid position. We are no longer just a product supplier, but also an IT supplier. There is currently a redistribution taking place in this regard.”

Daniel Jung & Jan Knoch, Managing Director, Trimco Group

“By processing leftover fabrics into new yarn, we minimize waste almost completely and simultaneously create a durable product. We have been successfully applying this technique for over a decade, which has earned us the German Design Award 2024.”

Juan Pablo Rivera Castillo, Chief Commercial Officer, Incalpaca

“The show is one of the best-organized trade shows I know. I come here extremely gladly, much more so than to Paris. Here, I find manufacturers from Turkey, Asia, and Italy. I am particularly looking for the highlights of my collection. The selection from so many suppliers is extremely important. Only here is it so well bundled. For me as a designer, the trend information with Li Edelkoort and Peclers was also amazing. And not to forget, the innovations in KEYHOUSE. You can achieve a lot in two days, but the three days were better – also from a sustainability perspective. To achieve everything here, we bought and watched Li’s digital content in advance with the team.”

Claudia Lanius, Founder and Designer, Lanius

“For coordinates, the timing is good. A show like MUNICH FABRIC START expands the content horizon. I find that very important. One must look to the right and left to pick the best opportunities.”

Winfried Rollmann, Owner, CEO & Creative Director, Six Brother Factory

NEW DATES VIEW and MUNICH FABRIC START

MUNICH FABRIC START, BLUEZONE & VIEW: FULL FLEXIBILITY

18. April 2023

A strong start to the season in July, order decisions at short notice in September

MUNICH FABRIC START Exhibitions GmbH offers one thing above all with the positioning of its trade show formats in terms of dates and content for sourcing for Autumn.Winter 24/25: full flexibility.

In future, the July date will be used by the international fabric trade show MUNICH FABRIC START with KEYHOUSE, THE SOURCE and BLUEZONE as an impulse generator; the September date will remain an important time for follow-ups and for picking up on new and short-term market developments with reVIEW, the new concept of the VIEW PREMIUM SELECTION.

With a current booking level of almost 90% for the international fabric trade show MUNICH FABRIC START, KEYHOUSE, THE SOURCE and BLUEZONE, Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH is starting the new season for Autumn.Winter 24/25 on a strong footing. From the organisers’ point of view, the main reason for the high level of acceptance from internationally important fabric and trim exhibitors, renowned agencies, top European weavers and textile designers is the rebalancing of the July dates.

Previously, the VIEW PREMIUM SELECTION had taken place at the end of June/beginning of July with a selective choice of high-quality fabric and accessories collections. From 18 to 20 July 2023, the Munich-based trade show organiser will now successfully occupy the early date for the first time with the full power as one of Europe’s leading fabric trade shows: the international fabric trade show MUNICH FABRIC START (18 to 20 July), the innovation hub KEYHOUSE, the one-stop sourcing platform THE SOURCE and the international denim trade show BLUEZONE (18 and 19 July) will move ahead and at the same time increase their relevance in the international trade show scene.

For a large part of the visitors, the earlier date is closer to the collection rhythms and offers more time for further developments. Same goes for the BLUEZONE community and the denim business anyway – the approval for the July date could hardly be greater, which makes the organisers particularly happy on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of BLUEZONE as the first denim dedicated trade show.

Important exhibitors – including returnees – such as Ballesio, Cadica, Discovery Denim, East & Silk, Fauck, Lanificio Campore, Mapel, Naveena Denim, Pricoh’s, Sintopel, Sourcetextile, Studio 9, Taiwan Textile Federation and YKK as well as new entries like Esdigital, IBERIS Lda, Jeanius, Jersey Print Factory, Lucky Textile Group, Marjomotex, Neelams Itl, Splash by Lo, Victor Texteis or Wouters have already confirmed their participation along with many others.

“The strongest and most professional trade show for our segment clearly accommodates our development traits with its date. This date is much closer to our rhythms and, with its strong exhibitor portfolio, MFS has considerably more influence on the creation of our collections.

Especially for Bluezone – a unique, creative and inspiring space for us every time – the date is very convenient as it offers more time for washing developments and creative elaborations. With their ideas and implementations, the MFS & Bluezone team always has its finger on the pulse of time which enables us to incorporate additional inspirations into our work”

Michael Seiter, Head of Product Division Denim & Chino, HOLY FASHION GROUP

What’s new?

Due to the early date of MUNICH FABRIC START and BLUEZONE, the Munich trade show duo with KEYHOUSE and THE SOURCE formats will function even more strongly as an impulse generator and leading international event. The Munich location will also be strengthened by the relocation of the DMI Fashion Day from Düsseldorf to the Bavarian capital. In order to create maximum synergies in terms of travel times and travel costs, the first DMI FASHION DAY LIVE after the pandemic-related interruption will take place the day before the next MUNICH FABRIC START at the MOC.

The course will also be set anew in September: The date, which remains important for the industry, will in future be occupied by reVIEW – the new format of the VIEW PREMIUM SELECTION for follow-ups and highly topical, short-term trends as well as new market developments. On an area of around 2,500 square metres, the first reVIEW Autumn.Winter 24/25 will be held on 13 and 14 September 2023 on the Zenith grounds in Motorworld. With its gigantic dimensions and spectacular architecture, the listed location is one of the largest cantilevered historic steel halls in Europe.

“Trends are short-term and more fast-moving than ever. The presentation and ordering rhythms are constantly shifting. There is no one right time. With two highly relevant dates in July and September, we offer the market security and reliability on the one hand and full flexibility on the other”

Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director MUNICH FABRIC START Exhibitions GmbH

“The feedback from the textile industry as well as from international brands confirms that we have placed the right offer. Both events have great potential and complement each other perfectly. We support the market by offering the right platform at the right time to bring the relevant players together. And we do this without overlapping with other international trade show formats of the fashion business.”

Frank Junker, Creative Director der Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH

Strong encouragement from the fashion industry

The response is extremely positive, not only from exhibitors but also from international designers, product managers and buyers. In a tense market situation, MUNICH FABRIC START shows strength, forwardlookingness and reliability. MUNICH FABRIC START is the start of the new season and the most important show for early trend information.

“The MUNICH FABRIC START is of great importance for our work – to be more precise, it is indispensable!
The earlier the deadline, the first input for the new collection, the more precise and pointed the result.
The reVIEW also remains relevant at the new, later date and supports our dynamic design process.”

Katerina Grigoriadis, Head of Design DayDream, MAC Mode GmbH & Co KGaA

“For our team, the new season starts with the MFS. We always take our inspiration from the colours, the forum and the exhibitors and work out our concepts for the collections accordingly. The exchange with producers and exhibitors is also indispensable and both,
MFS and View are a great platform to do so.

We discuss new themes but also previous orders. Meeting everyone at the same time and place in person is a great added value for our cooperation. In the past, we did this in Paris at PV, however this has been completely replaced by MFS.”

Tülay Önder, Head of Product Design, HALLHUBER

“For us, Munich Fabric Start is the most important trade show for preliminary information, for aligning the collection and for matching materials. Next to Milano Unica, it is the most important sourcing show. We welcome the earlier date of Munich Fabric Start very much. Instead of View, it will now be the most important show for us to get information early. We are excited about the process and are looking forward to it.”

Gerhard Kränzle, CEO, HILTL Hosen-Manufaktur GmbH

“The Munich Fabric Start is always an important milestone in our collection development. We are particularly interested in the trend themes and colours, which we compare with our developments to confirm or adapt them accordingly.

We are very keen to attend lectures on relevant topics such as sustainability, CAD, fair labour standards and always look forward to meeting your stars like Li Edelkoort.

The earlier date suits us very well. As knitters we already start with the new colours mid-May so the new date actually fits better into our schedule. A visit to the VIEW is a must in any development process. Since it will now take place in September, we will definitely visit this small and fine.”

Melanie Geyer, Senior Designer Knitwear, MAERZ München

“In my point of view, the early date is a meaningful step. I am pleased about the early overview & choice of collections. I also welcome the fact that flat weave and denim suppliers are brought together at this time. The September event has to prove itself and depends on the new & further developments of the collections. We appreciate both events to date and will continue to use them in the future.”

Michael Willems, Produktmanager, ALBERTO GmbH & Co. KG

Nilorn‘s current focus is on labels and trims with a more biobased input. Nilorn introduces textile labels in TencelTM, organic cotton and linen and embroidered badges in viscose. There is also a high potential in the area of vegan leather alternatives – which is why Nilorn shows different options like cork with a fully biobased backing, Piñatex® apple-leather or FSC jacron. Nilorn believes in taking a holistic approach in Sustainability including the entire design process, manufacturing and supply chain.
