Munich Fabric Start saw rise in international visitors and exhibitors

Last week the 44th event of Munich Fabric Start happened in Munich from the 30th of January to the 1st of February 2018.

More than 1800 collections by international companies were presented across fabrics and accessories.

Two topics were highlighted: The rise in technologies offered in terms of materials or special dying techniques as well as development in sustainability. A broad spectrum of smart solutions around natural processes were presented. From recycling to natural dying processes, companies from Lenzing to Dynamo showed great interest in deepening this topic and reported good demand for such solutions from customers.

Especially interesting for visitors was the KEYHOUSE, which is part of the show. It was curated as an innovation and technology center. Its focus was on intelligent process solutions, sustainability, smart textiles, biotech and digitization. The seminars had similar topics, one focusing even on AI and fashion that were informative as well as eye opening to all visitors.

Bluezone showed a broad range of exhibitors consisting of 100 international leading denim and sportswear fabric companies which showed new fabrics. Candiani Denim presented its biological degradable denim ‘Regen’, Calik Denim showed ‘Smart Tech’ and ‘Fly Jeans’ and Kassim its premium sustainability line ‘Made in Germany’ which is done in cooperation with German universities. Especially for the northern European part, this is a meeting point for all denim experts.

The next Munich Fabric Start will happen 4-6th of September 2018.
