RESOURCE NEWS FOR AUTUMN.WINTER 26/27

Meet KOMBINAT KONOPNY – Creations for the love of hemp

6. August 2025

The ReSOURCE area at MUNICH FABRIC START is the sourcing platform for environmentally friendly and responsibly produced textiles, clothing and accessories. Search, discover and procure – all in one place. Order sustainable materials online at any time at www.resource-textiles.com.

With around 500 samples, the area for innovative Fabrics and Additionals that are bio-certified, bio-based, recycled, recyclable or from regenerative sources has once again grown significantly compared to previous seasons.

What is KOMBINAT?

KOMBINAT is an idea. This idea is centered around a group of enthusiasts who have set themselves the crazy goal of bringing hemp materials back into the textile mainstream. Why? Because we believe in practical solutions, solid craftsmanship, and that in today’s world, it’s still possible to do things your own way, going against the current.

Hemp fiber has been out of circulation for a long time – in our opinion, far too long. We also believe that the world simply needs a healthy counterbalance to the omnipresent plastic, the flood of junk, and the fast-fashion movement, which, to put it mildly, is not our cup of tea.

Our philosophy is balance – we are aware that we will never be perfect, one hundred percent ecological, and satisfying absolutely everyone’s needs – we’re not tomato soup to fit everyone’s taste (if you don’t like tomato soup – substitute any other soup here) – we know that our activities won’t save the entire world, and that’s not our goal either.

A sustainable approach, balance without going to extremes is something that defines us well.

“If these values resonate with you – welcome aboard. We believe hemp is a great raw material and we want it to become a natural choice again. Just like it used to be.” – Maciej Kowalski

Why hemp?

Because it works. It’s strong and breathable. Clothes made from it have excellent thermoregulatory properties… or in human terms – they “breathe”.

Hemp is a fascinating plant – it’s not without reason that it’s colloquially called a “weed”; it doesn’t need pesticides, excellent soil, and conditions to grow several meters tall. From its fibers, you can create a material that doesn’t need to prove its value – that has been repeatedly tested in battle throughout our history, both literally and figuratively. Our products not only look good but also don’t wear out after one season. Our clothes are an investment, not a seasonal disposable.

Hemp fiber is a raw material that doesn’t require intensive chemical processing. It grows quickly, doesn’t deplete the soil, and provides us with a material that is naturally resistant to fungi and moisture. This natural fiber is also bacteriostatic – it doesn’t promote bacterial
growth.

In a nutshell: hemp textiles are durable, hygienic, and breathable.

Essence of Innovative Design & Smart Strategies

in Challenging Times

CLOSING REPORT

MUNICH FABRIC START | BLUEZONE | KEYHOUSE | THE SOURCE

24. January 2025

The international fabric trade show MUNICH FABRIC START came to a close. Together with THE SOURCE, BLUEZONE, and KEYHOUSE, it remains one of the most important fabric shows for the European fashion industry. In a challenging market environment, the organizers once again succeeded in bringing together key decision-makers and leading industry experts in Munich on January 21 and 22, 2025. 625 international exhibitors presented around 1,200 collections, showcasing the latest fabric trends and material innovations from the leading suppliers of fabrics and trims for SPRING.SUMMER 26.

MUNICH FABRIC START & THE SOURCE: “Highly Professional Research“

FLORESCENCE: The seasonal key theme of MUNICH FABRIC START describes the phase in which plants reach their full bloom and is used as a general metaphor for the process of blossoming. It can refer to new ideas, the unfolding of creativity, or even one’s own personality.

FLORESCENCE is divided into five trend themes: Betterverse, Unorthodox, Inventing Paradise, Fragile, and Lasting, which Volker Orthmann and Katharina Majorek as o/m collective and part of the MUNICH FABRIC START trend team, have described in their trend forecast for SPRING.SUMMER 2026 as follows:

 “The new trends address the courage for innovation while simultaneously celebrating the fascination with timeless beauty. They explore how artificial intelligence and new technologies can influence and improve our relationship with the body, nature, and fashion. At the same time, the associated impact on information and consumer behaviour is questioned and confronted with a critical attitude and individuality. The contrast between strength and fragility, romance and modernity forms another key focus, reflecting current moods and translating them into fashion aspects. The final concept emphasizes classic elements, which, through new interpretations, cleverly link the future and the past.”

“Two action-packed days of the trade show have come to an end, and we draw a cautiously positive conclusion. We received good feedback from both visitors and exhibitors: we are focusing on the right topics and, with our various show-in-show concepts, bringing together the key players to develop new market strategies and drive forward innovation topics.“

Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director MUNICH FABRIC START

 

“The market is ambivalent. There is a desire for something new, but not everyone is willing to take risks. With strong leading themes like FLORESCENCE, THE CORE, and TECHKNOWLEDGE, we aim to break through this hesitation, provide a pool of inspiration, and create impulses that encourage bold decisions.”

Frank Junker, Creative Director & Partner MUNICH FABRIC START

Ambivalent market: security mindset versus desire for new ideas 

In a price-sensitive, cautious environment, consumer behaviour resembles a careful blossoming: “Customers know exactly what they want—at what price and for which product. They are conducting highly professional research. Over the two days, they have a tight schedule, leaving little time to look around. Customers are focused on safety,” summarizes Oliver Schnitzler, Founder & CEO of LOOMSEVEN agency, with collections like Almodo, Eusebio, Pontetorto, SMI, and Tessilgodi, reflecting the current situation. Everything that is easy to understand and not too extravagant works, which is also confirmed by Michael Berner, CEO of Berner and Sohn & Fabric House agency, with collections like Altinyildiz, Arché, Infinity, Lanificio Fratelli Balli, and Pontoglio: “It’s moving away from plains and becoming more decorative again. Linen blends set the tone. Jerseys are also in demand for Summer 2026, but only if they are special. Customers are uncertain about prints: What is a modern pattern? Muted, washed-out, and delicate designs are currently doing well with us. The market is very tense and extremely price-sensitive. Therefore, one has to create attractive offers.” 

“We particularly liked the innovative fancy items with embroidery, eyelet embroidery and voile as well as shimmering effects on plain fabrics. Light, flowing, feminine fabrics in powder shades will also be important for summer,” says Annette Schrewe, Head of Design at Betty Barclay. Fancies were also the first step for Drykorn: “We started with the Fancies. I can already say something about that: we looked for modern florals and natures as well as graphic designs and have already found them. We have seen interesting new ideas. This is very important to us,” summarizes Angela Kunst, Head of Product and Design.

BLUEZONE: Love & Attention

The next evolution of denim: At BLUEZONE in the Zenith Area, around 70 international denim mills presented their latest developments for denim and sportswear. The key theme THE CORE focuses on trends such as Collab Now, Deconstruct & Reconstruct, Phat Flavour, Green Minimalists, and Second Hand Trends. We will delve into the fusion of tradition and technology of denim creativity and innovation. Here, a new energy of sustainability, fabric innovations, industry trends, insights into the ever-evolving denim market, and cutting-edge processes arise to shape denim’s next evolution techniques. “We live in an abundance market, which means, conversely, we must be braver than ever, instead of freezing in fear. Brands need to be desirable. They must evoke love. It’s all about love & attention. Creating Lovemarks is not just a task for brands, but for all players along the value chain,” said Tilmann Wröbel, BLUEZONE trend researcher and owner of Monsieur-T Denim Lifestyle Studio. Collaborations like ISKO x bluesign, Evlox x Lamosa, Lycra x C&A, and Sharabati x Sashiko Denim are just some of the many ways to evoke emotions. This focus on emotion was also emphasized by Hans-Peter Hiemer: “Technologies need emotion,” stressed the Style3D/Assyst CEO in his presentation. 3D and AI are the solution to translating ideas into consumer needs within a digital product cycle from design to distribution.

Join in, try out, inspire. This is what a successful collaboration looks like, and how to engage people, as demonstrated by the Denim Masterclasses of ENDRIME® X BROTHER X ISKO™ X COATS, led by denim designer and lecturer Mohsin Sajid, whose workshops were very well received.

When it comes to awakening and stirring emotions, David Shah is the one to do it. In his keynote “Quantum Fashion” about the philosophy of design, the trend forecaster and publisher created a bridge between political and economic constraints, rich and poor, old and young, as well as cultural clashes, design accidents, and highlights. He also misses the feel-good factor of fashion and warns against quantum fashion, which only speeds up the cycle even further. Innovations outpace themselves. Perhaps we should look more to the past than the future. Exnovation instead of innovation? Shah provided the fascinated audience with many thought-provoking insights.

Activator KEYHOUSE

“Good in talking, not in doing“, was David Shah’s harsh criticism of everything related to sustainability. And many market participants share this view. This makes what happened at KEYHOUSE all the more exciting: mass-market meets startups and innovators. Integrated into BLUEZONE, KEYHOUSE was not only a focal point but also an activator. Over the course of two days, exactly the right people came together here: large fashion brands with high volumes were engaged in intensive conversations with pioneers and innovators. How can textile-to-textile recycling become scalable for the mass market? Which sustainable material developments, processes, and techniques provide new alternatives? Which new technologies bring not only efficiency but also emotion? These were some of the central questions that exhibitors and visitors addressed, not only during the lectures but also at the exhibition stands.

“BLUEZONE and KEYHOUSE together in one hall is the perfect match. The synergies are amazing. From the core of BLUEZONE, the sustainable innovations spread out into the industry. We are the pearl with BLUEZONE as its shell, at the heart of the industry,” summarizes Simon Angel, the curator of the forum.

“As a denim designer, I visit BLUEZONE to look for the latest trends, fabrics, materials, and innovations. The trend areas are fantastic because they showcase how innovations like laser treatments, washes, and styles can be implemented. We always attend BLUEZONE, as the trade show is also important for networking.”

Anna Weber, Designerin Denim & Flats, Luisa Cerano (Visitor)

 “We have fixed appointments with ISKO and Bossa – everything else we do spontaneously. The Kesselhaus has always been nice. Now that all the companies are gathered in one hall, it feels like there’s more going on.”

Sabine Schweneker, Design HAKA, MAC (Visitor)

“The KEYHOUSE is the best. It’s great for the customers to get inspired and see lots of examples. We are doing our best to promote textile to textile recycling and encourage brands to get ready. The big players need to get more familiar and need to think in a bigger picture. We need to get beyond capsule collections to drive the infrastructure forward.“

Hélène Smits, Head of Business Development & Partnerships, LOOPER Textile Co. (Exhibitor)

Over the course of the two days, more than 50 high-profile trend forecasters, pioneers, and well-known industry experts discussed the central topics of the industry in around 50 talks and panels across three stages. The comprehensive trade show programme was rounded off by the MUNIQUE NIGHT. Approximately 1,200 guests ended the first day of the show with drinks, snacks, networking, and music.

After two days of the trade show, the textile exhibition closed with a 4% increase in visitors compared to the last MUNICH FABRIC START. Among the brands present on-site were designers, product managers, and buyers from adidas, Aigner, A Kind of Guise, Akris, Alberto, Alpha Jeans, Angels, Anna van Toor, Armedangels, Atelier Gardeur, Baldessarini, BASF, Best Secret, Betty Barclay, Black Palms The Label, Brax, BMW, Bogner, Bugatti, Burda, C&A, Calida, Calzedonia, Carhartt, Cecil, Ceres, Cinque, Comma, Coop, Digel, Drykorn, Escada, Gerry Weber, HEAD Sport, Herrlicher, Hessnatur, Holy Fashion Group, HSE, Hugo Boss, IB Company, Joop!, Lagerfeld, Lanius, Lodenfrey, Luisa Cerano, MAC, Marc Aurel, Marc Cain, Marc O’Polo, Mey, More&More, Olymp, Oui, Pangaia, Peek & Cloppenburg, Prada, Riani, s.Oliver, Schoeller, Schumacher, Seidensticker. The visitors came from 58 countries, with the majority located in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, as well as Italy, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Poland, Greece, the UK, and Portugal.

MORE QUOTES FROM VISITORS:

“For our collection, we are specifically looking for new denims at BLUEZONE and have found some great innovations. At MUNICH FABRIC START, we were inspired by prints for new basic items and jacquards to elevate our standards.”

Andrea Sefl, Product Management Womenswear, Atelier Gardeur 

“We’re looking for things that are innovative and will move us forward fashion-wise. The trade show here in Munich is one of the most important denim platforms for us. Here, we get a great cross-section of exhibitors we work with. MUNICH FABRIC START and BLUEZONE are important trade shows and a strong local institution.”

Michael Seiter, Head of Denim, Holy Fashion Group

“We were particularly impressed by the innovative fancy items with embroidery, eyelet stitching, voile, and shimmering effects on solids. For the summer, light, flowing, feminine qualities in powder tones will be important. We also really like vibrant royal blue. The colour worlds in the trend forums at MUNICH FABRIC START were really well executed. However, the prints are still not quite right for us. What we’ve seen so far was too light, too romantic, too playful, or childish. We need them to be clearer and more easily understandable.”

Annette Schrewe, Head of Design, Betty Barclay

“For Spring/Summer ’26, we are focusing on muted pastels and neutral tones. We are looking for new blends of viscose-Tencel-linen or viscose-linen. Many high-quality collections are not even available yet. The trade show scene is shifting more and more to Milan, which is unfortunate for us. In terms of timing in collection development, we are so early that we don’t even have the chance to go to Milan.”  

Birgit Kastner, Head of Design, Marc O‘Polo

MORE QUOTES FROM EXHIBITORS:

„All natural fibres like cotton-linen with viscose work really well. For the German market, with stretch – because they are still doing tight trousers. In this case it’s cotton-linen-nylon mixes. New and innovative are shiny laminées or lurex prints on linen. We had two successful days with clients like Hugo Boss, Windsor, Cambio, Luisa Cerano, Riani, Brax, MAC and Baldessarini, just to name a few.”

Simone Bellucci, CEO, Bellucci 

“Our customers value our product because it‘s from Europe. They are especially looking for organic and recycled qualities in cotton and polyester. We launched a new Beachwear and Sportswear collection. In these times, it is important to be able to offer the right qualities in combination with stock and service.”

Marc Puigderrajols Bassols, Sales Team, Tejidos Rebés

“How can materials be returned to the cycle, and how can they remain in the cycle? These are the central questions that many still lack answers to. With our rings, sliders, hooks, and buckles, we offer a solution. They are made from a sustainable bio-based material that is both compostable and recyclable. Despite this, the products are extremely durable and washable. Our modular, repairable buckles in neon yellow are a big hit, as well as our lingerie series.”

Sarah Jankowsky, COO & Co-Founder, Valupa

“We are pleased because important customers like Marc Cain, Gardeur, Peter Hahn, and the workwear provider S-Gard attended. However, it has been rather quite overall. Particularly in demand for SS 26 are silicone labels in neon pink and orange, neoprene emblems with embossing, and grosgrain straps with silicone lettering, preferably in a turquoise/blue palette.“

Heike Taubeneck, Sales Representative, Bornemann-Etiketten

“We offer a huge assortment, so picking out individual trends isn’t easy. If I have to choose, I’d highlight these three: tie-dye, purple as a strong trend color, and large-scale patterns. The first day of the trade show went very well, while the second was quieter. Overall, we’re satisfied. However, we would prefer if the trade show continued to run over three days.“

Dennis van Os, Sales Representative, Nooteboom Textiles

“The trends are diverse: Calm Minimals in shades of blue with a Riviera vibe – small-scale and easy to interpret – are a big hit. At the same time, oversized, colorful, arty prints with lots of yellow are in high demand. Stripes remain a key trend, now with a hand-painted, retro flair. We’re also showcasing animal prints in bold contrast colors as well as boho and

cowboy-inspired designs. There’s a lot of talk about florals, but the question is, which flower? Orchids? Abstract, brushed flowers with textured backgrounds? Multicolored or two-toned? Opinions on this vary quite a bit.”

Elisa Ostländer, Designerin / Inhaberin, Lica Design Studio

“Printed florals in great variety – that’s what Liberty is known for like no other. There isn’t a clear trend, but our theme ‘Floral Rebellion,’ featuring abstract floral prints from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, is gaining traction. These work best in bold colors, but also in more understated tones. Stripes remain important as well. All of our key customers were here, especially the classic shirt providers like Seidensticker and Olymp, as well as Drykorn.”

Mats Buschjost, Junior Sales Manager, Fashion & Friends für Liberty 

“We launched our new project ‘Manifattura Italia – where else’ here. This season was primarily about showcasing the collection for the first time, understanding what customers need, and assessing the project’s potential in the German market. Germany remains very price-sensitive, and customers are cautious when it comes to trying something new. The concept is solid, and the German market is tough – which is exactly why we wanted to kick things off together with MUNICH FABRIC START.”

Luca Balugani, Owner, Bureau 31 für Manifattura Italia – where else 

“The market is very tense and extremely price-sensitive, so you need to create tailored offers. For instance, we’ve included the Turkish manufacturer Palmiye for the third season now – highly innovative and super successful. We are incredibly satisfied with MUNICH FABRIC START – I can honestly say that everyone was here.”

Michael Berner, CEO, Agentur Berner und Sohn & Fabric House

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

Since 2021, they’ve been dedicated to addressing critical issues like soil degradation and water mismanagement among others through innovative and sustainable practices. Their work spans across regions of Vidarbha and Telangana, where they’ve empowered over 1,000 farmers with the help of regenerative farming techniques.

They are actively working to connect farmers with equitable markets, enabling them to earn a premium for their produce and fostering prosperity and sustainability within their communities.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything they do, seamlessly merging traditional farming with cutting-edge techniques. Their commitment extends to cultivating organic cotton, where each fiber is produced with utmost care and responsibility.

As they spread to new regions and transition more farmers into growing organic cotton, they look to include rain-fed extra-long staple length cotton in their portfolio thereby decreasing dependency on ground water and be more sustainable.

Each strand of their yarn tells a story of artisanal craftsmanship and environmental stewardship. Join them in embracing a future where every creation reflects a commitment to comfort, elegance, and sustainability.

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.”

“Sunkolor” by Panorama Fabrics – The Textile UV Indicator

SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS Spring.Summer 23 #4

12. April 2022

With climate change still gathering momentum, the intensity of the sun’s invisible UV rays is also increasing. The problem: the intensity is not visible to the eye. The result: sunburn and damage to our skin that sometimes only appears years later which makes it all the more important to protect our important organ.

Exactly this is possible with Sunkolor. The material helps to visually perceive sun exposure and to establish a healthy relationship with it as a result. The technology Panorama Fabrics, the material driven Design Studio from Berlin, manages to make UV rays visible. For this purpose, Sunkolor yarns, which are produced in Germany, are woven into textiles.

When exposed to sunlight, the colour of the material changes thus indicating the dangerous UV index range. The change of colour makes it immediately clear once the situation becomes critical. In the first step, the yarns will be attached in labels to hiking backpacks. In the long term, a variety of different or outdoor garments will be made from this yarn.

The vision:

Create new tools to adapt in a changing environment caused by climate change.

Panorama Fabrics studio aims to contribute with its own products and pioneering designs to highlight the possible interaction between textiles, humans and our climate. Research is being carried out on innovations to make more people aware of the effects of climate change and at the same time support them in dealing with it. The two founders, Gabriela Kapfer and Karina Wirth, share a fascination for different materials and a passion for interdisciplinary collaboration, which enables them to create something new and progressive together.

“Sunkolor makes the invisible visible to create awareness.”

– Gabriela Kapfer & Karina Wirth

Here’s what to look for in Leather Alternatives at ReSOURCE

17. June 2021

Whatever has led you here, you are already thinking about the reasons a brand has for choosing between the seemingly massive range of leathers and leather alternatives available. This decision usually begins with a basic understanding of the manufacturing processes in order to decide, does the final material reflect brand values, share brand beliefs and share the same innovative approach? To help choose the best option for you, we provide material highlights from our recent showcase on ReSOURCE to directly connect you with industry partners who can support in your next steps.

There are over 50 kinds of sustainable textile and material certifications used across our materials showcased online and at our shows with ReSOURCE. Get to know which 4 you should be familiar with when it comes to sourcing sustainable leathers and leather alternative materials:

Leather Standard by Oeko-Tex

Specifically tailored to leather articles which have been tested for harmful substances. Certification can be awarded for leather semi-finished products, finished leather, leather fibre materials up to finished articles and accessories.

Look for Leather Standard by Oeko-Tex certified materials if you are interested in:

  • using real leather materials
  • materials which are committed to reducing their chemical use and using safer alternatives
  • ensuring your products are harmless to health

Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex

All types of textiles that have been tested for harmful substances, from yarns to the finished product, may bear the STANDARD 100 product label.

Look for Oeko-Tex 100 certified materials if you are interested in:

  • certified materials with an innovative approach
  • materials which are committed to reducing their chemical use and using safer alternatives
  • ensuring your products are harmless to health

V-Label by European Vegetarian Union (EVU)

The only requirement of this certificate is that the product is vegan/vegetarian, meaning the product must not contains products of animal origin; no animal auxiliaries may be used during the production process.

Look for V-Label certified materials:

  • to ensure materials which are vegan, cruelty free and animal friendly
  • to include in brand marketing, communication and raise brand awareness
  • support the development of further innovative textile and accessories vegan alternatives

Cradle to Cradle by Cradle to Cradle (C2C)

Cradle to cradle (C2C) is an approach to a continuous and consistent recycling management. “Cradle-to-cradle products” are therefore those that can either be returned to biological cycles as biological nutrients or can be continuously kept in technical cycles as “technical nutrients”.

Look for Cradle to Cradle certified materials if you are interested in:

  • ensuring production is focused on reducing water wastage and usage, fostering a closed loop system using wet processes
  • materials which are committed to reducing their chemical use and using safer alternatives
  • materials which use reduced energy in the supply chain, with use of renewable energy with minimal reliance on petro-chemicals
  • materials which reduce and recycle waste throughout the textile supply chain

Other sustainable certifications to get to know when sourcing sustainable leathers & alternatives include: IVN Naturleder, Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) + Global Recycled Stand (GRS)
