The New Season Starts with FABRIC DAYS
PLANNING THE SECOND EDITION OF FABRIC DAYS FOR SPRING.SUMMER 22
*Edit: The contents of this post have been updated according to our postponement announcement which you can read in more detail here.*
Following the successful staging of FABRIC DAYS at the beginning of September 2020 as the first physical trade fair after the lockdown, we have started planning the next round of trade fairs for the Spring.Summer 22 season. Our aim was to realise VIEW Premium Selection as a Preview Textile Fair to compliment the main trade fair which would follow 6 weeks later in Munich.
However, over the past few days the situation has changed drastically and with it the starting position. Current Covid-19 developments and the uncertainty of any changes move us further away from the certainty of being able to realise VIEW in the usual professional way in just a few weeks time. Further measures such as extended travel restrictions are not foreseeable at this point in time.
REALISATION OF VIEW PREMIUM SELECTION NO LONGER POSSIBLE
As a result of the current crucial developments, we no longer consider a trade fair at the beginning of December to be justifiable or responsible. After all, the health and safety of all exhibitors, visitors and participants at the trade fairs always has top priority. We feel compelled to cancel VIEW Premium Selection from 1 – 2 December 2020.
“The decision to cancel the VIEW Preview trade fair is a difficult one, however it must be based on our sense of safety and responsibility. After all, there are only a few weeks left until the beginning of December – a very short time in which the risk cannot be sufficiently assessed based on rates on infection to continue planning VIEW. We have reached a point where we should reduce our travel and social contacts to a minimum – at least for the time being with the option to resume again in the coming weeks.“
Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director MUNICH FABRIC START
STARTING THE NEW SEASON WITH FABRIC DAYS FROM 2- 4 MARCH 2021
Our team is now concentrating on organising the second edition of FABRIC DAYS from 2-4 March 2021 and is confident that they will be able to offer the textile industry the usual date to present the Spring.Summer 22 collections.
The condensed, business focused format of FABRIC DAYS offers the required flexibility to be able to adapt quickly to any changes in the coming months. The main objective here is to offer the industry the necessary planning security and a physical textile fair for personal exchange. In this way, we particularly rely on the support of the textile industry and the confidence placed in them during this extraordinary time.
”Of course we are doing everything we can to realise our plans despite the very dynamic times. This is a perspective for the industry and our fixed goal, which can only be achieved with our collective efforts. Flexibility and cohesion are particularly required now. We are prepared to offer the industry a platform in Munich for personal exchange, provided that it is possible and can be justified by all those involved.”
Frank Junker, Creative Director MUNICH FABRIC START
Our team has already received the first confirmed commitments and registrations for FABRIC DAYS from 2-4 March 2021. We are again expecting a high-quality collection portfolio from around 400 international suppliers who will present their new products for the Spring.Summer 22 season in Munich.

Interview with the organizers of FABRIC DAYS: Sebastian Klinder and Frank Junker about flexibility, new perspectives, alternative planning and the necessary transformations in our industry
Sebastian Klinder
2020 presents our industry and the entire economy with new challenges – what exactly awaits FABRIC DAYS visitors and what are you most looking forward to?
Sebastian Klinder (Sk): With FABRIC DAYS we are organising a concentrated business trade fair from 1 – 3 September 2020 with around 300 German and European exhibitors. In about 700 collections the novelties for Autumn.Winter 21/22 will be presented across 5 categories. Something we are especially proud of: Thanks to long standing partnerships with leading German textile agencies, many of the collections by European manufacturers will be shown exclusively and only in Munich this season. Above all, there is the chance for visitors to exchange ideas with suppliers and partners, to gather inspiration and to experience fabrics and additionals in real life.
Frank Junker (Fj): We are simply very much looking forward to welcoming the textile industry again after half a year of not seeing each other in person. Our enthusiasm is also reflected in our main theme for the Autumn.Winter 21/22 season: HOPETIMISM stands for a new era in the textile and fashion industry, showing new ways and perspectives. A spirit with which we can simultaneously design future oriented products and processes that are geared to market needs in a time that is very challenging for the industry. In addition to the selected high-quality exhibitor portfolio, FABRIC DAYS will feature a Trend Forum under the seasonal title HOPETIMISM.
How does it feel to organize the textile industry’s first physical trade fair after lockdown?
Fj: In general, we are very happy that, despite considerable hurdles, detours and many challenges, we have succeeded in organising the first textile fair after the lockdown. The last months have been exciting and dynamic. Fortunately, we have been able to rely on our experience as well as a certain flexibility within our network and team to create a suitable event format in the current situation.
Sk: With the measures we have taken, we are now well positioned to offer the industry the usual professional and inspiring working atmosphere in Munich. The fact that we have the support of the textile industry for this event lets us enjoy a special level of trust.
Frank Junker
Flexibility and adaptability are particularly in demand this year. How do you keep your focus when everything is turned upside down at short notice?
Sk: As an established industry partner, it is part of our philosophy to organise a trade fair for the textile industry even under the new, very dynamic conditions. Our aim is not only to implement necessary hygiene measures on a long term basis, but also to plan with different scenarios and to position ourselves flexibly. In such extraordinary times, it is important for us to provide solutions and to believe that there is always a way forward. And even to discard plan B and flexibly implement plan C within a very short time, if the situation requires it. However, all of this can only be realised together – with all exhibitors, visitors and participants of FABRIC DAYS.
Fj: That’s right, adaptability and creative solutions are currently demanded of each and every one of us. We are all working on ways to continue our daily lives WITH Covid-19, not after Covid-19. In the end, this applies to the entire industry. We must stick together in this time. Establishing trusted partnerships, synergies and concentrating on the essentials are what matters most right now.
What lessons can the industry learn from this crisis and where does Munich Fabric Start itself see opportunities?
Sk: In these times, it becomes very clear to us what the industry expects and needs from us. Future trade fairs will be good indicators for possible changes and opportunities – the keywords are: ordering behaviour, digitalisation and circular economy. These are topics that can completely restructure the textile industry along the entire supply chain right through to the consumer. The most important learning we can do is to continue to respond flexibly to the changing market needs and to offer the industry a platform for information and inspiration.
Fj: We see opportunity in the fact that generally, the industry is now moving closer together again. What counts here is cohesion and the right industry partnerships to simultaneously define new solutions as well as new processes. That’s why it is particularly important right now to maintain a transparent and open dialogue with partners and customers. Trust, reliability and communication are now indispensable.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to our long standing partners: our loyal visitors, exhibitors and service providers! THANK YOU for your great commitment, your flexibility, your resolve to find new solutions, mutual trust, for their new visions and unique know-how. Your support motivates us to courageously and consistently continue on this path together.
Successful Fabric Days With Good Visitor Frequency as Pioneer Trade Fair
WELL FREQUENTED FABRIC DAYS SET A POSITIVE SIGN FOR THE INDUSTRY
Noticeable enthusiasm, the ideal starting point for the collection design for Autumn.Winter 21/22 and a good visitor frequency – a result with which FABRIC DAYS exceed all expectations after three successful fair days from 1 – 3 September 2020.
The condensed and business-focused trade fair format in Munich was the first fabric fair after the lockdown and confirms that a physical event is accepted and needed by the industry in these times.
Thanks to the great support from suppliers, the trust of the industry and the close cooperation with Messe München, we have succeeded in creating a pride example for following trade fairs under the new conditions with FABRIC DAYS.
“With the organization of the first fabric trade fair for the textile industry, we took on a great responsibility. After the cancellation of numerous trade fair events, we are particularly proud to have been able to realize FABRIC DAYS. The positive response and gratitude is overwhelming. We are very pleased about the cohesion and also the discipline with which everyone here on site worked together and we are happy to conclude the trade fair as an important source of inspiration with this result.”
Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director Munich Fabric Start
UNEXPECTED HIGH VISITOR FREQUENCY AND A QUALITATIVE PORTFOLIO
“Due to the pandemic, no one could tell what the visitor frequency would be like at the fair. So we are all the happier that an unexpectedly large number of designers, product managers and buyers travelled to Munich to explore the over 700 collections from 300 international suppliers. Many visitors and exhibitors alike thanked us for making a physical event possible after all. Our guests felt secure at all times and were pleased with the personal exchange and the new input.”
Frank Junker, Creative Director Munich Fabric Start
Among the 1,300 visiting companies on site were well-known brands such as Adidas, Aigner, Alberto, Bogner, Drykorn, Gerry Weber, Hugo Boss, Irene Luft, Lanius, Malaikaraiss, MAC, Marc O’Polo, Mey, Oui, Puma, Riani, Rich&Royal, s.Oliver, Seidensticker, SET, VETEMENTS and Wolford.
At FABRIC DAYS, around 3,600 national and international visitors from 30 countries gathered new impulses and inspiration for the Autumn.Winter 21/22 collection. Long-term partners as well as exciting newcomers presented their developments in the 6 areas Fabrics, Design Studios, Sourcing, Additionals, Denim & Sportswear and Innovations – whereby the condensed hall layout offered optimal conditions for cross-segment communication and networking.
HOPETIMISM was the seasonal theme of the visionary Trend Forum at FABRIC DAYS – and was literally experienced at FABRIC DAYS:
“I am really happy to meet our most important partners in person thanks to FABRIC DAYS. I can finally feel the spirit that defines our industry again – experience tactile collections as well as gather information and inspirations.”
Michael Seiter, Strellson
“Munich Fabric Start has always been an important date in the year for our team, so it was no question for us to also travel to Munich for FABRIC DAYS. The high quality of the exhibitors really surprised us – and we really like the pleasant atmosphere here.”
Dorothee Schumacher
FABRIC DAYS AS A PRIME EXAMPLE FOR A SAFE TRADE FAIR
Of course, safety and hygiene had the highest priority during the implementation of FABRIC DAYS. All visitors, exhibitors and contributors showed full understanding and took the extensive hygiene and safety measures into account with a high degree of naturalness and a positive spirit:
“Especially in these times, we are looking for approaches for positive thinking and new impulses. Therefore, for us as exhibitors for many years, participation in FABRIC DAYS was out of the question. And it has been confirmed: The team has managed to organize a trade fair even under these conditions, which has made personal meetings and business possible again. The hygiene measures, such as maintaining a safe distance and wearing a mouth and nose cover, were implemented perfectly and were also very well accepted by the visitors.”
Piovese Fashion
“It was a very good feeling to participate in a trade fair again and to see our customers in person. Fabrics are tactile products that cannot be completely replaced by digital meetings – therefore we are very grateful for the organization of the fair. We always felt super safe with all the clear hygiene measures. In general, the organizers have really done an excellent job, so that FABRIC DAYS can be seen as an example for other fairs.”

INNOVATIVE APPROACHES: SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS FORUM & RESOURCE AREA
The foyer of Hall 4 of the MOC was dedicated to innovative approaches. The proven ReSource Area informed interested visitors about the wide range of sustainable fabrics and additionals. Right next to ReSource, SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS curator Simon Angel presented futuristic projects: “From Trash to Treasure” by Youyang Song, “Living Materials” by Iris Bekkers, “Solar Self” by Pauline van Dongen and “Perfect Imperfection” by Studio Mend.
PROVEN HYGIENE CONCEPT AS STANDARD FOR THE FOLLOWING TRADE FAIRS
With the hygiene and safety measures implemented at FABRIC DAYS, we have created a good basis for planning the upcoming trade fairs. Building on this, our team is now looking ahead and starting with the planning for the next fairs:
Spring.Summer 22
8 & 9 December 2020

Most of the participating manufacturers at FABRIC DAYS are our established partners with sometimes decades of experience exhibiting at our MUNICH FABRIC START shows.

We are very thankful for the trust the industry has in us – be it manufacturers who have supported us over the years or exhibitors who are brave enough to participate the first time during these challenging times.

Plan your trade fair visit now by browsing all exhibitors and get an overview of the offer in our BRAND SEARCH.
Now also available for FABRIC DAYS, you can also get additional information about exhibitors and the trade fair via our official MUNICH FABRIC START TRADE FAIR APP – available for download in all App Stores. The app launched in 2019 offers the chance to plan your visit before the show and collect exhibitor information during as well as after the fair.
Please be sure that we are well aware of the great responsibility and challenge that comes with organising an event in the current times. We have implemented extensive measures and hygiene rules, which go beyond local and international requirements, in order to minimize the risk of infection on site.
The entire planning and layout of the fair areas is designed to prevent crowding while considering the valid hygiene and safety measures. We have limited the exhibition space to the easily accessible halls 1 – 4 on the ground floor of the MOC with corresponding aisle widths throughout as well as defined entrance and exit areas. All necessary precautions are taken to ensure the minimum distance of 1.5m can be maintained at all times. We have also switched to purely digital ticketing with controlled access points by only trade professionals in order to minimise contact.
You can find our Hygiene and Safety FAQ as well as regular Covid-19 updates via the FABRIC DAYS homepage before the show as well as on site via suitable media and specially trained personnel.
Our tip: Arrange appointments with your most important partners now in advance and divide your team in the best possible way – then, alongside the measures taken regarding infection protection, there is nothing standing in the way of a safe and relaxed visit to the fair.
In addition to the select exhibitor portfolio, we were able to organise an informative trend forum under the seasonal title HOPETIMISM at FABRIC DAYS. You will have the chance to get an insight into the trend themes and be inspired for your collection design and order planning. As well as the in-depth descriptions of each of our seasonal trend themes, the trend forum also includes relevant fabrics from our exhibiting manufacturers. Detailed insights into our trend themes, their influences and seasonal colours can also be found in our TREND FORECAST for Autumn.Winter 21/22 – now available for sale.
What’s left is to organize your arrival and your stay in Munich. We are also having some tips for you about these topics – have a look at our DIRECTIONS & PARKING and our HOTEL RECOMMENDATIONS. We can’t wait to see you at FABRIC DAYS!

SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS, Big Changes & New Challenges
SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS, BIG CHANGES & NEW CHALLENGES
AN INTERVIEW WITH SIMON ANGEL
An interview with SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS curator Simon Angel – the Dutchman who is always on the search for interesting young designers, outstanding innovations and the latest novelties in the textile world. You will find Simon and the four SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS he chose this season in the foyer of hall 4 at FABRIC DAYS.
- Simon, what new innovations can we expect this season?
Rethinking old traditions and adding a contemporary note to them can create innovation – sometimes you don’t have to come up with something entirely new to be innovative. This edition ‘the new thing’ is referring to something old like weaving, repairing and recycling. For example, weaving with solar-panels from Pauline van Dongen, repairing as value-creation from Studio Mend or value adding applications by Auxetics and industry ready, recycled bioplastic fabrics by Studio YouYang. All these projects use traditional crafts and materials, but in a new and innovative way.
2. In 2020, the Corona pandemic brought the world to an unscheduled stop. But the crisis has also sped up the movement towards a more sustainable lifestyle. How will this shape innovation?
As you know, I’m an optimist. This year’s developments actually encouraged change. How you look at things makes a big difference in order to get yourself in the right inspired mode. Pandemics or heatwaves are nature’s way of confronting us. Just like we are experiencing changes in our environment, the nature experienced changed by humans for years and is now responding to us. All this is leading us to a dialogue with nature – a much needed one. Bit by bit we realise we exist as part of nature. Designers, scientists, the industry and consumers change their habits and question old methods. Finally, most of us start to realise what is necessary to ultimately save our world. We can only achieve that, when we are searching to find the balance with ourselves and with nature.
- It is the sixth time that you are curating the SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS. How has this year’s edition been different?
The responses to sustainable innovations are new. The dialogue is getting serious. For example, have a look at the location of the Sustainable Innovations forum this year: It has moved from the Keyhouse to the main hall, right in the heart of the industry. Right at the spot where the big changes happen.
- This year’s innovations are all about the material: textiles created out of biowaste fabrics, adapting its shape to the environment – can you give us a glimpse into the material of the future?
With the Sustainable Innovation forum, we present the near future and showcase what already is possible. As you can see, this future finds its inspiration in old traditions, crafts and resources. But what comes after that? It is hard to predict as the world is losing its linearity as we know it. More and more, we are moving towards an era of adhocracy. Transferring this into the material and textile world: design and shapes will not be the main focus of designers anymore. Materiality and comfort will experience a comeback – and we will have to redefine the product development process and all that entails. We have to open our minds and let go of expectations. We have to source from our universal knowledge to create something that in this form has never been there before.
- How can we see the current situation as an opportunity to innovate, rather than for all the challenges it presents?
This situation shows on a holistic level, that humans have to develop themselves and challenge the Status quo. Enjoy the experience as it opens up new horizons which we could never have dreamt of. Look at the Munich Fabric Start, with the Fabric Days they showed how to deal with unforeseen obstacles and ever changing circumstances – a pretty good demonstration of a future recipe for attitude, mental shift and permanent dialogue. So yes, let’s see every day as a chance for a better tomorrow.

High-Quality Fabrics Portfolio at FABRIC DAYS
Experience fabrics in real life again: see and feel the unique fall, the weight, the colour intensity of the print and special characteristics.

At FABRIC DAYS from 1 – 3 September 2020 at the MOC Munich you will have the chance to experience and source the innovations of 300 exhibitors. Discover here some of the exhibitors of the FABRICS, SOURCING and DESIGN STUDIOS Area:
FABRICS
AKÜRÜN TEXTILE A.S. – H2 | D 01
Akürün Textile A.S. used its time during lockdown wisely. Taking into account global issues around sustainability, the Turkish brand offers a wide range of innovative woven fabric solutions and expanded their certified range by prioritizing sustainability.

The new Autumn.Winter 21/22 collection from Hemmers Itex focuses on new qualities and trendy colour accents. In addition to mustard, terra and petrol, warm berry tones also dominate the designs and thus reflect the colour world of winter. Warm coat fabrics, pleated skirt qualities and velvet form a fashionable quality and variety. In addition, prints, fabrics and winter knitwear can be found in the collection.
KBC Fashion focuses on sustainability and creative qualities in Autumn.Winter 21/22. Minimalism meets retro vibes with exciting colour combinations. Hand painted, photographic and paisley designs contrast with graphics. The qualities offered include silk blends, viscose and polyester to cotton, recycled and environmentally friendly blends. The German company is also launching a cocktail wear collection this season.
INNOTEX MERKEL & RAU GMBH – H2 | D 12
InnoTex offers a GOTS certified multifaceted collection for the Autumn.Winter 21/22 season. Graphic prints with modern overlays, shadow effects and exciting surface compositions play important roles. The theme Nature is reflected in natural surface structures and motifs from flora and fauna. Both cold and warm colour combinations are given a pleasantly warm character for the cold winter days thanks to roughened and sanded basic goods. Flower prints on dark backgrounds printed on flowing viscose satin and silk chiffon perfectly match the new Dark Romance trend. Marbled prints allow for a luxurious and individual look in elegant colour schemes. Bohemian prints with dark contrasting tones are also suitable for the winter season, both as an all over motif and as a patchwork print.
Leadford & Logan is an Italian leader in exporting high fashion fabrics like plain wool, silk, silk blends, prints, velvets and embroideries. The Autumn.Winter 21/22 collection presents a mix of plain fabrics (100% wool, silk, polyesters) and printed qualities. Fabric blends including silk satin or silk Mikado mix and a new wool satin are printed with exclusive colours and designs.
Luxury silk specialist Pongees has launched a new website to make it even easier for designers to select and place their orders. Whether you choose to buy direct or online from the stock items, the minimum order remains at 1m.
“While nothing beats the actual opportunity to feel a fabric, look at how it drapes and easily compare one weight with another, we endeavour to be well-placed to present the collection as best we can using technology with videos and virtual meetings. This will most certainly be of major importance over the coming months,” explains managing director Nick Moore. He adds: “We are continuing to invest in the future, but with the flexibility to adapt the business to meet what will be a changing world of how fabrics are sourced by ourselves and our customers. We are currently enjoying testing new ideas and continuing to search for new supplies so we can improve our offer to customers.”
The Autumn.Winter 21/22 collection at Seidra remains true to its quality standards in weaving and knitting with the highest quality wool with a focus on Sustainability. In addition to pure wool articles, Seidra also focusses on new developments in the area of cotton-wool and linen-wool blends. The exclusive developments with the wide range of colours can be used in the fashion sector as well as in traditional costume fashion.
The textile agency SundagTex will present various highlights, among them is the new colourful, GOTS certified cotton and wool collection from Sintopel. The motifs in the collection range from natural motifs to lurex effects and modern graphics.

DESIGN STUDIOS
The Autumn.Winter 21/22 collection at Primus Pattern, gently ranges from mindfulness and durability to elegance and radiant expression. In terms of colour, the collection for the coming season is balanced in the lively shades of nature, such as deep blue, dark cadmium green, washed out black and sublime mud nuances. Accents are set by a lively apricot, matt copper to daring outliers such as an intense tango red or concentrated fruit tones. Formally, the new prints oscillate between noble retro ideas, structured imitations of nature and timeless geometric approaches. For a feeling of security and courage, all new textile designs have been developed with care and attention in these fragile times.
ZISSER TEXTILE DESIGN – H3 | D 17
Nature is the starting point for the Autumn.Winter 21/22 novelties of Zisser Textile Design. Falling leaves, peaceful blues of the sky and natural, neutral shades… Let’s walk deeper into the forest and find its mystery! The animal kingdom is surrounded by the abundance of plants, flowers, trees. The best patterns are made swiftly by the movement of the winds, which creates geometrical shapes and unique compositions. The autumn and winter colour palette touches dramatic, with deep tones but also immersing itself in natural soft colours and introducing groups of lighter or muted colours. The range of prints from the Zisser Textile Design collection is diverse and vivid in their expression. Their designers experiment with new media, tested various brushes and are experienced with dyeing and colouring techniques. Zisser’s prints always stand for uniqueness and boldness.
SOURCING
