EACH OTHER
1. each other …
Sebastian Klinder: … is our guiding theme this summer – a very clear one. And one that I think offers little room for interpretation about what we believe will become the key influencing factor on the trends of the coming season: namely, the importance of personal contact, of sharing and being there for each other, of listening carefully and looking closely.
Frank Junker: And there is a meta-level that resonates with and is very important to us: In these current times, it is about not being discouraged, but on the contrary, to take courage, to recognize one’s own scope of action and then to use it to create something beautiful with the form of expression that is inherent to us through our profession – fashion, aesthetics, quality – and thus to make a positive contribution to this world.
Frank Junker, Creative Director MUNICH FABRIC START; links
Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director MUNICH FABRIC START; rechts
2. Mid of July …
Sebastian Klinder: … is currently, in our opinion, exactly the right date to bring the right people together at the right place and to set the right focal points and topics.
Frank Junker: The date is neither a matter of course nor due to any vanity, but the result of many discussions and considerations. And it is not a compromise – we are convinced that the majority of our visitors and exhibitors will benefit from the rescheduling.
3. Beginning of September …
Sebastian Klinder: … Munich is also a beautiful city. And of course we know that this order date will remain a relevant week in the order rhythm, regardless of the daily sequence of the MUNICH FABRIC START – that’s why the RE:VIEW will take place at this later date in the future.
Frank Junker: Then, by the way, also for the first time at Motorworld. We are sure that with the new early date for MFS and BLUEZONE, the RE:VIEW in September and the PRE:VIEW at the end of November, we have found an optimal solution for many needs.
4. 8 Areas…
Frank Junker: … are the result of a natural process. As a trade show platform, we strive to reflect the needs of our visitors and exhibitors – and clearly, a central place. Where everything that is needed to work purposefully comes together in a concentrated form and in a professional atmosphere. This is exactly what the market is looking for. Our now eight areas – FABRICS, ADDITIONALS, the BLUEZONE, the DESIGN STUDIOS, RE:SOURCE, THE SOURCE, the KEYHOUSE and the SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS – offer the essence of what fashion professionals need as points of inspiration and orientation to successfully work on their next collections.
Sebastian Klinder: Ultimately, we want to represent a cross-section of the relevant ecosystem of the fashion industry. We are less concerned with universality and sheer size than with real added value. Thus, our concept THE SOURCE, which will take place for the second time this summer in Hall 8, is the logical answer to the current process of progressive backward integration. And the consistently high frequency at KEYHOUSE over the years is proof that the entire industry is intensively addressing its medium- and long-term future prospects.
5. Speaking of … the future …
Sebastian Klinder: … seems even more difficult to predict today than I could have imagined in 2021. In this respect, the values that are particularly significant to us at MUNICH FABRIC START – continuity, reliability, humanity – are more important today than ever before.
Frank Junker: … to me is the unalterable conviction that physical events, perhaps especially in fashion, are and will be essential!
6. Buzzword bingo: Edutainment …
Frank Junker: … is far more than a buzzword, but cannot be taken seriously enough. The need for orientation and inspiration in this multipolar and over-complex present will even increase.
Sebastian Klinder: It is precisely because of this complexity that we focus on collaboration and cooperation: we want to work with the right experts and some of the best-connected people in the fashion world and trust their advice – whether it’s about our broad lecture program, our trend forums or our innovation areas.
Frank Junker: Because one thing is obvious: nowadays, no one can provide guidance on their own. To do justice to this mission, we need a really good team. And fortunately, we have one.
7. 20 years of BLUEZONE …
Frank Junker: … is our fulfillment of a vision. From the initial idea, to the actually impossible activation of a former industrial wasteland, BLUEZONE has become one of the most important denim platforms in Europe in a very short time. Thanks to a great continuity and in close proximity to MFS. Two completely different worlds, just a few steps away from each other.
Sebastian Klinder: Being able to celebrate 20 years of BLUEZONE is truly an emotional moment. It feels a bit like watching a child grow – of course you try to contribute your best, but it has to grow up on its own. We are very proud of our team, but in particular we want to thank all those who have always believed in BLUEZONE and made it the community platform for and from the denim world that it is today.
8. ConneXXion …
Frank Junker: Everything is interconnected. And this year, everything fits together perfectly. That’s why ConneXXion is the right guiding theme for the BLUEZONE anniversary. I truly believe that bringing the fun back into our beloved denim, fashion and textile world is key. And that’s why we all need to reconnect: reconnect with our personal goals and beliefs; reconnect with our companies and values; reconnect with what’s important and, last but not least, reconnect with each other.
Sebastian Klinder: So the guaranteed best opportunity to connect us all once again is, as always, our MUNICH FABRIC NIGHT – this summer on Tuesday, July 18, when we celebrate 20 years of BLUEZONE, the MFS in general and the entire industry. With this in mind: let’s bring the fun back into fashion together: Let’s get this party started!

Seersucker embossed effects, ajour micro-transparency, floral prints give life to a collection that is a “bloom” of good mood and lightness. Cotton and last generation polyamide with a “crispy” and hyper-technical hand, perfect for overshirt and functional shirt.

DMI FASHION DAY LIVE in Munich
How do we package people? DMI FASHION DAY LIVE A/W 24/25
The Business Opportunities To Come
The physical FASHION DAYs have always been the place and occasion for networking, information and inspiration for the industry. After a discontinuance due to corona, DMI is finally organizing such a physical FASHION DAY again. The date (July 17, 2023) and the location (MOC Munich) offer guests the opportunity to “kill two birds with one stone”, namely, to visit MUNICH FABRIC START and the DMI FASHION DAY LIVE on the afternoon before.
Numerous colleagues from the leading companies in our industry who have already registered embrace the initiative because they would like to go back to having more contact with each other again. Because many of them are currently facing challenges that they cannot overcome on their own, but only in coordination with others. Against the background of inflation, for example, one such challenge is pricing, especially with regard to price points established with customers. In this respect, we need to come to new agreements among each other.
“Fashion companies are currently facing numerous challenges that they cannot overcome on their own, but only in coordination with other companies. That’s why, after the long phase of forced contactlessness, we have to come to new agreements among each other – in personal exchange, at a joint event.“
Gerd Müller-Thomkins, CEO
As the central kick-off event for working on a new season, the DMI FASHION DAY program offers decision-makers the information they need to set the right course for winter 24, both strategically and creatively, and also the opportunity to network with decision-makers from other companies over coffee and dinner.
“If we hold the DMI FASHION DAY the day before the most important fabric fair in Munich, it is because it makes sense not only logistically but also in terms of content. It’s about making the information available exactly where it is needed, namely at the moment when, with the selection of the fabrics, the key directions for the season are set.“
Carl Tillessen, CEO

HOW DO WE PACKAGE PEOPLE? – A RESET IN FASHION
We were so looking forward to the time after the pandemic, and then this: war in Europe, bottlenecks in the energy supply and the highest inflation in 71 years. It feels like we’re down on luck and bad luck is following us.
And so, in recent months, a great deal of nostalgia has spread throughout our society. We reminisce about happier times, when our news feeds weren’t full of live broadcasts of the world’s crises and wars from dawn to dusk, times when we could face those crises and wars as calmly as the news presenter who briefly mentioned them before he got to football and the weather. We long for the carefree days when the earth’s resources seemed endless and not every pleasure was overshadowed by the guilty conscience of wasting those resources. We miss the unalloyed joy you used to feel when you used your hard-earned cash to treat yourself to a car gleaming in the sun, a flight to New York, or just a juicy fillet steak. Back when making and buying fashion was still something to be proud of.
In retrospect, this past life seems like paradise. A paradise we were kicked out of because we did something wrong. Apparently we took a wrong turn somewhere. And now we want nothing more than to get a second chance, to go back to the start and start over.
Ludovic de Saint Sernin expresses this longing for a completely new beginning with his debut at Ann Demeulemeester. He resets the world to factory settings, literally starting all over with Adam and Eve—before they were expelled from Paradise, before they knew good and evil, and before “they realized they were naked.” JW Anderson’s men’s wear show also begins with a model in a birthday suit. A naked body and a fresh roll of fabric – this is how Anderson creates the tabula rasa, the blank slate on which fashion can reinvent itself once again. “How do we package people?” he asks himself and us. As if that were completely open again. Tim Blanks also observes that fashion is currently really putting everything up for discussion: “‘What is fashion?’ was a question that people were asking themselves.” Demna Gvasalia also asks this very fundamental question and, like Anderson, comes to the conclusion that when creating fashion, only one thing is really set: “We create relationships between body and fabric”. In the beginning there was the fabric – this is especially true for Etro. They take us to this beginning and show their men’s collection in the fabric warehouse, between rolls and industrial pallets.
DMI is one of the oldest and leading trend offices in the world. The online and offline events of DMI with their richly illustrated lectures are probably the liveliest and most intensive way to fill up on knowledge and ideas. Please find further information on the DMI website.

LICA DESIGN STUDIO
Lica‘s new versatile print collection for Spring/Summer 24 is based on two poles that form the essence: ‚Superfluity‘ and ‚Understatement‘. There are various reasons to find joy in the opulence of colors and shapes: It dresses you in self-confidence during uncertain times. And, it might make you question what is real, as the natural and virtual worlds blend. The diametrically opposed ‘Understatement’ finds peace in the reduction of color and the disappearance of form. It looks for nothing less than the essence of harmony. Solitude can be defined as a luxury.
