new season
FABRIC.iD – Digitize Your Fabrics
FABRIC.iD LAUNCH – DIGITIZE YOUR FABRIC
Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH launches FABRIC.iD – a process for the complete digitization of fabrics. The new texture scanner xTex and the colour scanner can:scan transform textiles into virtual data. The result: digital twins that reproduce the texture and colour of the materials realistically and flawlessly.
Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH, organiser of the International Fabric Trade Show MUNICH FABRIC START and the International Denim Trade Show BLUEZONE, is now offering the digitization service FABRIC.iD to support digital processes in the first step of the textile supply chain. From structure to colour composition to rigidity – the innovative texture and colour scanners xTex and can:scan from software companies Vizoo GmbH and Caddon Printing & Imaging GmbH capture all the details of the texture and translate them into virtual data. Digitization generates a unique fabric ID which makes the textiles technically identifiable, traceable and usable. The result: digital, realistic fabrics.
The service was first presented in all facets during MUNICH FABRIC START, from 31 August – 02 September 2021 in Munich. The process expands MUNICH FABRIC START’s range of products to digital, indefinitely.
“We are incredibly proud to be able to offer FABRIC.iD at MUNICH FABRIC START – a technology that is unique in the world. From now on, our customers can send their fabrics to us or bring them directly to us to see the process – our team will then take over the scanning process and digitize the textiles, at the trade fair and throughout the year. We then make the data available for further processes. The samples can be measured without restriction on any monitor with a click of the mouse and used for sales, product presentations, design processes, trying on avatars and other areas of application – the perfect addition to the physical experience at the trade show.”
Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director Munich Fabric Start
A NEW DIGITAL DIMENSION
Until now, analogue processes between buyers and suppliers have taken a lot of time, often with the result that the exact colour, pattern and the right material cannot be found. can:scan and xTex offer a unique solution for this: they enable the exact colour detection of textiles and the creation of colour-fast digital patterns, so that interactive approval processes can be carried out online and 80% of the previous time required for analogue processes can be saved. Three-dimensional objects are scanned with the highest precision – even colour nuances that are created by light and shadow can be differentiated, measured and displayed using the new technology. The digital data renders time-consuming and costly transportation obsolete, lead times are reduced as well as costs for textile samples, with more precise results delivered – always in good time before the start of the collection.
“Everyone who works with such processes knows the effort involved in the analogue coordination between buyers and suppliers. These can drag on for a very long time and in the end a substance is released that does not actually meet the original idea, but instead comes as close as possible. In some cases, collection components are completely cancelled because a consistent result simply cannot be achieved in the allotted time. We are solving this problem with the new technology from FABRIC.iD.”
Michael Nothelfer, Managing Director of Caddon Printing & Imaging GmbH
The innovative digitization takes place in the Fabric Studio, the showroom of Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH. There the textiles are scanned – the exact texture can be recognised and transformed within a very short time. In the first step, the exact colour and pattern are determined, then the surface structure is determined. A physical material analysis is then carried out, in which the weight, rigidity, thickness, elasticity and other material properties of the textile are precisely determined. This enables an accurate simulation of the drape properties of the fabric. In addition, FABRIC.iD also understands the spectral yarn colour values of the dye works and the weaving data of industrial looms in order to generate visually correct and colour-correct textures for 3D applications.
Modifications are not made subjective, instead, validly collected data ensures a high degree of authenticity and coordination between the physical and virtual product. By using the open source U3M format, the digital material is compatible with almost every 3D-capable application. Since fabrics can differ greatly in their properties, three different categories are offered: Standard for less structured and monochrome materials, Advanced for strong structures and colours, as well as a third category, Complex, for complex patterns and very shiny materials.
“It’s the latest technology on the market with uniquely advanced methods that outcompetes any other solutions in the world. At MUNICH FABRIC START we are now making the technology accessible in our FABRIC.iD studio. A milestone for the industry – not only in the direction of digitization, but also in the direction of sustainability,”
Martin Semsch, Managing Director of Vizoo GmbH

AW 22/23 Trend Radically Hopeful
AW 22/23 Trend Radically Hopeful
The guiding theme and dedicated focus for Autumn.Winter 22/23 at MUNICH FABRIC START celebrates and perpetuates the meaningful connection to unite the industry under the seasonal title ‘RISE’.
New perspectives bring us closer together and give rise to dreams, visions and collections that brighten and uplift our world. Emotion is infused in our future as we seek out joy and comfort with a warmed sense of connection. To get started, let us briefly introduce you to the 5 trend themes, which are also represented in the DIGITAL TREND SPACE as 5 distinct exhibition rooms:
SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT – We are becoming inclusive, while entirely new design possibilities open up – functionally, socially and aesthetically.
MIXED REALITIES – As we travel and use the World Wide Web more and more intensively, “IRL” and “virtual” merge into a new phygital world.
FIRESTARTER – Design inspiration from gloomy techno clubs ignite protests in the mainstream.
COUNTRY PARTY – Luxury and design are travelling in the luggage for the weekend in the countryside.
RADICALLY HOPEFUL – When we think “eco” instead of “economy”, we can achieve a holistic, sustainable goal together.
RISE Trend Theme: RADICALLY HOPEFUL
There is no choice but to rethink, feel, plan, define and implement the system anew. Optimistic realists, scientists and doers who radically improve the environment. In the world and in the collections, there is plenty of room for circular and holistic sustainability through radicalism. Supply chains and product transparency become ambassadors to raising awareness and education. Global contexts are turned around with joy, enthusiasm and other people. Designing for multi-function is one of the goals; fabrics, fixings, styles and collections are repurposed and made more modular. Less is more, reusable is more and conscious consumption is more.
MOOD
Designers are radically adding more and more space in their collections to circular, sustainable and holistic solutions. Half-thought-out concepts or greenwashing no longer meet the demands of customers (and many brands). It doesn’t matter whether up-and-coming designers work with passion on upcycling ideas or large corporations develop alternative materials, what brings them together is their common goal.
COLOUR
Warm honey and amber colours are at the centre of this calm and balanced colour palette. Whether matt or glossy, they are not only used as accent colours but also play the main role in large pieces. Next to it sits light purple as an accent and shirt colour. The palette is softened by timeless tones such as rough olive and grey as well as a classic navy blue.
FASHION
Patching is one of the most direct and transparent ways of upcycling. Here, second-hand pieces are cut up and lovingly reassembled into unique pieces. Other designers take on collection surpluses and create entire ranges of new trousers, jackets or skirts from them. In any case, it is an elaborate process that produces exclusively unique pieces. But hasn’t exclusivity always been allowed to have its price?
MATERIALS
Classic, hard-wearing winter fabrics such as gabardines, herringbone, tricot and denim get an upgrade. By making supply chains and the origin of materials transparent, they turn into ambassadors for raising awareness and for education. At the same time, timeless designs such as English checks, Scottish tweeds and traditional Norwegian knits gain importance in a theme focused on longevity.
Prints and graphics reflect the optimism of the theme in hand-drawn illustrations and cheerful slogans. They work particularly well on high-quality, structured fabrics made from natural materials or recycled canvas. Cork, dried grass and low-quality cotton waste emphasise the strength and stability of natural fibres and they are absolutely sufficient future alternatives for hangtags & co.

AW 22/23 Trend Country Party
AW 22/23 Trend Country (P)arty
The guiding theme and dedicated focus for Autumn.Winter 22/23 at MUNICH FABRIC START celebrates and perpetuates the meaningful connection to unite the industry under the seasonal title ‘RISE’.
New perspectives bring us closer together and give rise to dreams, visions and collections that brighten and uplift our world. Emotion is infused in our future as we seek out joy and comfort with a warmed sense of connection. To get started, let us briefly introduce you to the 5 trend themes, which are also represented in the DIGITAL TREND SPACE as 5 distinct exhibition rooms:

COUNTRY PARTY – Luxury and design are travelling in the luggage for the weekend in the countryside.
RADICALLY HOPEFUL – When we think “eco” instead of “economy”, we can achieve a holistic, sustainable goal together.
RISE Trend Theme: COUNTRY (P)ARTY
The land here is more than pure recreation, it serves as a source of inspiration. Not so much nature itself, but the open space. The city has lost its appeal in the short term and the longing to party, dance and dress up is easier to do outdoors with lots of people here. Crystal glasses are packed as well as the openness, creative expression and power. Elegant fabrics, sequins, decorative ribbons and ornate ingredients meet farmhouse baggies and impromptu floral tablecloth dresses. Energetic colours with a touch of retro charm and patterns with theatrical expressions come into their own in a new and humorous way in rural settings.
MOOD
It is no longer the rustic, simple houses in the countryside that fascinate. Luxury and design have long been part of the luggage transported to the countryside on weekends. Old cottages, farmhouses or chateaux are lovingly restored and renovated to a high standard. Between nostalgia, decadence and landscape, one thing, in particular, found a new home here: an innovative and creative lust for the countryside.
COLOUR
Lust for life, lust for the countryside, that doesn’t just mean lust for celebration, it also means lust for colour. The colour card is inspired by hypnotic sunsets and lush flower fields. Intense pink, yellow and rich dark red reflect these floral colours. Pastel accents are set by ripe peach tones; old pink berry colours mattify the palette. Grey tones in melanges, as well as strong cobalt blue and duck green, are used as a wintry base.
FASHION
Who says there can’t be sparkles in the countryside? When the sequin skirt meets the checked shirt, a whole new idea of glamour emerges. Celebrating fashion means putting it into new, creative contexts. Expressive outfits rise from particularly surprising combinations that combine urban chic with an antique check. That’s what we celebrate!
MATERIALS
Why can’t it be fur sometimes, like our ancestors wore? It can be lush, ironic and definitely made of artificial fibres that can be used to create a wonderful play of colours. And why not give a quilted jacket a glam update with shiny satin? But avoid an overload: Small patterned wool jacquards and checks keep suits and coats stylish. There’s no skimping on woven ribbons and playful borders when it comes to accessories.
When the floral power of the 60s and 70s meets the clean geometric lines of Art Deco, the results are striking floral prints that remind one a little of vintage collector’s cups. From macro blossoms to millefleurs prints, patterns bloom on dark or coloured fonts on façonné. Voluminous ajourés, crepe satin and wild silk in calm tones go beautifully with this.

Fully Booked VIEW Premium Selection
Fully booked VIEW Premium Selection presents around 300 collections
as a safe preview trade show in Munich
Finally: the beloved VIEW Premium Selection is back! The fully booked Preview Textile Show will take place in a few days, on 30 November and 01 December 2021, in a familiar atmosphere at the MVG Museum in Munich. Following the example of the successfully implemented MUNICH FABRIC START Autumn.Winter 22/23, the organisers are very pleased to realise the first physical trade show for Spring.Summer 23 – of course, Covid-19 compliant.
The industry can look forward to a live event at pre-pandemic level: Around 80 selected exhibitors will present 300 collections, the usual high-quality portfolio in the areas of Fabrics, Additionals, Design Studios as well as Denim and Sportswear. Renowned weavers and manufacturers such as Liberty, Yünsa, Manteco, Tejidos Royo or Lanificio Roma as well as the well-known agencies Max Müller, Agentur Geiger or Püttmann Textilagentur, to name just a few, will be on site.
“For us, VIEW has always been a highlight, because the timing is optimal and it is
the perfect start to every season, where we can maintain personal contact with our customers
and above all, of course, being able to present the new collections in a very special atmosphere.
We are now particularly looking forward to the upcoming VIEW, which will take place in the familiar atmosphere despite the current circumstances and cordially invite all customers to experience this event together.”Oliver Schnitzler, Managing Director LOOMseven GmbH
All exhibitors and collections can be viewed on the new VIEW Premium Selection website
The organisers also launched a new VIEW Premium Selection homepage, which gives a modern and structured overview of the Preview Textile Show at www.viewmunich.com. Here, the detailed brand search with the complete lists of exhibitors and collections as well as the final hall plans can be found, which support the trade visitors in their preparations for the trade show. As always, all information can also be called up in the MUNICH FABRIC START app.
Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH is aware of the great responsibility in these times of the unplanned to organise a professional and inspiring trade show, which fulfills and even exceeds the measures and official requirements. The extensive hygiene concept is being adapted to current developments at the moment and will be published shortly on www.viewmunich.com.
“As the first physical information and inspiration platform of the coming season, the VIEW Premium Selection stands for quality, efficiency and a focused exchange between the industry. We are therefore very pleased to finally be able to realise our Preview Textile Show again at the MVG Museum Munich on 30 November and 01 December 2021. This trade show forms an excellent basis for MUNICH FABRIC START and BLUEZONE at the end of January 2022, which already have a very high registration status.”
Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director Munich Fabric Start
Positive signal for MUNICH FABRIC START and BLUEZONE
At the same time, the organisers are already preparing for MUNICH FABRIC START from 25/01 – 27/01/2022 and BLUEZONE from 25/01 – 26/01/2022. The feedback from international exhibitors is extremely promising: Both the international textile trade show and the global denim trade show are almost fully booked. On this basis, the use of all halls in the MOC and the Zenith area is planned again, as last in February 2020.

RADICALLY HOPEFUL – When we think “eco” instead of “economy”, we can achieve a holistic, sustainable goal together.
RISE Trend Theme: FIRESTARTER
Rebelliously standing up for what is good with the courage to confront – fashionable as well as ideologically – motivated to act. Protective clothing in a new understanding – against external influences, both climatic and emotional are visibly flaunted by stylised power and oversized looks. Fashion incendiaries ignite with provocative chic and super loud bling-bling trimmings and accessories. Ego and community celebrate a rebellious bond together with aggressive statements and prints. Black and grey are fired up by loud reds and purples.
MOOD
Fashionable incendiaries find their inspiration in the worlds between. Memories of parties in the underground, visiting a virtual rave space or streaming a DJ set are enough to ignite visions of provocative outfits with super loud glitter trimmings and accessories. With minimal lighting, their expressive bling-bling sparkles even louder. What is worn and shown here is a little bit posh and very exclusive.
COLOUR
Warm and cold shades of grey are lost in the shadows of the underground, as if they like camouflage colours. Black in particular, which has lost nothing of its popularity, plays with the ambivalence between disappearing into the crowd and aggressive provocation. The non-colours black, grey and white are fired up with loud red and purple. Smoky blue and dark brown add softness to the palette and combine it into a chic colour range.
FASHION
Spacious outfits, in which several layers of oversized pieces are worn on top of each other, provide a lot of space and a safe distance from the outside world. Sometimes so many layers, that the limits of the ban on concealment are reached. Long, loose coats and ultra-thick down are only the outer shell of a multilayered outfit.
MATERIALS
The bigger the arc of suspense, the stronger the tension? Here, this assertion is put to the test when classic outer fabrics like pepita, glen check or vintage vichy are combined with high-tech stretch. A truly exciting combination, bursting with power. Heavily washed-out denim and sweatshirt fabrics are combined to form a casual base for young protesters.
Have a look again? Whether strategically placed holes, fake destruction effects or mesh qualities: The game of concealing and revealing is used to great effect here. What happens to a luxury bag when it is “decorated” with large holes? Does it become worthless? More valuable? In any case, it becomes accessible to a target group that has outgrown luxury in the classic sense.

RADICALLY HOPEFUL – When we think “eco” instead of “economy”, we can achieve a holistic, sustainable goal together.
RISE Trend Theme: MIXED REALITIES
The future is now! Artificial intelligence, 3D shops, 3D art, 3D textiles, 3D printing, augmented reality and its phygital spaces are becoming the new basis to explore and reflect. Aesthetic perceptions of digital styles, outfits and surfaces influence design and haptics in the real world. Digitalisation and especially digital gaming is awakening a strong trend towards a wide variety of technical surfaces and looks. The standard of faster and faster moving images and videos mixes with the longing for real technical materials and surfaces.
MOOD
Many meetings, fashion shows or even dates that we used to plan IRL (in real life) now take place online. But even without gathering hundreds of people, we meet, watch and stream amazing shows. Technology has stepped up to find solutions. We have modified large parts of our daily lives to now take place online. We have travelled the web intensively and feel more and more at home in virtual spaces
COLOUR
The iridescent colours of Mixed Realities condense between two worlds. Digital pastels appear light, exuding a technical softness. These soft, light tones define the colourfulness of the theme with a nebulous greyish pink, inductive silver, warm gold and a sulfur tone. Two sporty tones juxtapose the palette: technical turquoise and metallic jade. Depth and shade are added to the palette through a warm, dark smoky green.
FASHION
Like game characters who are not bound to physical limits, we are also longing for shapes that are not natural for a human body. But paddings, volume, avantgarde cuts and intelligent constructions will raise the illusion of a body that no longer follows its given restrictions. A choice and combination of digital colours and shiny surfaces add to the impression that human and avatar are merging.
MATERIALS
The desire for animated images and videos is reflected in new technical materials, among others. Holographic finishes and iridescent motifs create fluid surfaces and flowing qualities that dazzle and catch the eye. Gradients from technical pastels to pure white reflect the infinity of virtual worlds. They are inspired by digital gaming, a strong trend that connects online and offline.
Colourful, abstract prints are perfect expressions to merge the real and digital world. They work best on voluminous downs, fleeces and paddings. Instead of classic print motifs, large-scale, seemingly random gradients are patched onto the fabric. Holograms, mysterious motifs and batik prints experiment with new colourways.

RADICALLY HOPEFUL – When we think “eco” instead of “economy”, we can achieve a holistic, sustainable goal together.
RISE Trend Theme: SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT
Multi-layered cosiness stands for a reassuring comfort, whether outdoors or indoors. The same design needs are emerging across cultures in simple and good basics. Inclusion is visible and celebrated across the board, both fashionably and socially. Two-tone patterns, colour palettes and optical accents are lovingly used in small doses. Value adding information such as material origins and transparency give simple, functional products the latest edge.
MOOD
Recently, the word global got a completely new sound. Where normally we travelled the globe, we are now globally united in the task of staying at home and staying safe. And everywhere, this situation gave rise to the need for a particular design. The desire rose for reliable, simple basics that stand for comfort, durability and a sense of cosiness – no matter where you are.
COLOUR
The modern colour palette bridges the gap between natural and technical tones. On a broad base of dark tones, such as hazelnut or autumn leaves, cool primary colours like sea blue, fir green and fire red with shimmering metallic effects appear and shine in different combinations. Brightness is added by a sun-bleached white and a wintry soft rosé tone. Digital chlorophyll adds surprising highlights.
FASHION
Multi-layered cosiness stands for reassuring comfort, whether outdoors or indoors. Simple, sporty styles don’t follow gender rules and are universally worn by everybody. Using a single or similar colours from head to toe gives outfits a clean look. The cuts in this casual theme are roomy and comfortable.
MATERIALS
The quest for comfort is fulfilled by fluffy bulk and slub yarns for knits and wovens that feel like a warm embrace. Woolly tweeds with traditional patterns exude familiarity and encase us. These warm body and soul alike. As functional basics, power jerseys made from both natural or technical fibres remain a key fabric.
Patterns become discreet, both in design and in colour. Clean checks in bicolour looks and classic pyjama stripes stay calmly within one colour family. Discreetly woven or printed camouflages and gradients come in toned-down colour combinations and play with shadow-like effects. Patterns do not miss their effect even in small doses.

Spring.Summer 2023 starts at VIEW
VIEW PREMIUM SELECTION SPRING.SUMMER 2023
With the successful edition of MUNICH FABRIC START, we were able to organise a prime example of physical trade shows under the new conditions – with increased motivation and great anticipation, we have now started planning VIEW Premium Selection from 30 November – 1 December 2021.
Especially for our industry, personal exchange and the tactile experience of materials is essential. The Preview Textile Trade Show VIEW is particularly important for us: we can hardly wait to see the industry again soon in a productive, pleasant working atmosphere at the MVG Museum in Munich.
The VIEW sees itself as a high-quality fabric and ingredients fair, which is well ahead of the established textile fair MUNICH FABRIC START and other European fabric fairs. As a small, fine industry get-together, VIEW is aimed at creatives and buyers in the fashion industry who need or want to be informed about the latest trends and developments for material developments, colours trends and innovations in good time.
At VIEW you will find a strong portfolio of premium collections from trendy innovations to fine fabrics, from high-end sportswear fabrics to high-quality basics. Plus an informative selection of labels and buttons.
Be there at the next VIEW by MUNICH FABRIC START to see the first trends and developments well before the official trade show event, January 25-27, 2022.

A Very Successful Industry Reunion
MUNICH FABRIC START & BLUEZONE SUCCEED IN REUNITING THE INDUSTRY WITH A PARADE EXAMPLE FOR PHYSICAL TRADE SHOWS
A whole year without physical trade fairs, long months without personal exchange: last week the physical International Fabric Trade Show MUNICH FABRIC START and the International Denim Trade Show BLUEZONE 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.
More than 600 international suppliers presented their new collections and developments for Autumn.Winter 22/23 in around 1000 collections 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 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!
“Our team is exhausted, but overjoyed: the biggest challenge in our company’s 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 – 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 – 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 ‘business as usual’ again.”
Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director Munich Fabric Start
A WINNING FUSION OF BLUEZONE & KEYHOUSE & WELL-ATTENDED EVENTS
Under the motto “BACK TO THE FUTURE”, 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.
“BLUEZONE has always scored with a very special atmosphere – this time we surprised people in the Zenith Hall with an 80’s 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.”
Frank Junker, Creative Director Munich Fabric Start
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 “Closing the Loop – How circular can the supply chain be?” and on “Local Manufacturing – A reality or just a temporary green gimmick?“.
“First of all I would like to thank the organisers for the enormous effort – 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. “

POSITIVE VISITOR & EXHIBITOR ECHO DESPITE COVID-19 MEASURES
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 with manufacturers and suppliers presenting in all 8 areas. Non-European suppliers were represented by agencies and offered well-attended show in show concepts.
The newly formed ReSOURCE x SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS area 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, the innovative process for the complete digitisation of fabrics to greater serve the industry’s digital future.
“What a goosebumps moment! Since the second edition of Munich Fabric Start in 1997, I’ve been coming from Paris to Munich every season to look for new fabrics, ideas and colours… And I can say – I’ve 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!”
Visitor Anja Seidl (France)
