NEONYT January 2020 edition presented more than 210 sustainable fashion brands

In addition to the positive mood at Neonyt, the facts and figures also speak volumes: with more than 210 sustainable fashion brands from 22 countries, Neonyt, from 14-16 January 2020, brought together more sustainable fashion brands than ever before and the number of professional visitors in attendance has doubled in comparison to January 2019.

“We have been very impressed after every edition of Neonyt, but this one has really taken things to a new level – thanks to the brands, the buyers and all the key players from the fashion industry who have enriched Neonyt in the last few days and made it the most relevant hotspot. Across the entire board, we’ve felt not only the willingness and the necessity but also the desire for more sustainability,” says Olaf Schmidt, Vice President of Textiles and Textile Technologies at Messe Frankfurt.

While the next edition of Neonyt will be taking place from 30 June until 2 July 2020 in Berlin, Fashionsustain is already planning its next stop: the conference will be stopping off at ISPO in Munich at the end of January. In a three-hour slot on Sunday 26 January, selected topics will be explored in more depth as part of the CSR Hub. These panels are the first cooperation between the leading trade fairs. Focusing on the topics at hand, ISPO and Neonyt are pooling their strengths to further push the crucial topic of sustainability within their industries.
