Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director Munich Fabric Start explains: “The short-notice announcement of a further and thus third denim trade show within 20 days and within a radius of 1000 km has caused great unrest and a lack of understanding from the industry and also from us. Since we do not want to get involved in a battle of show dates. In the interest of the entire textile industry and our exhibitors, we have decided to avoid the oversupply of shows and to focus all our positive energy on our core date at the end of August.”

The basic philosophy of Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH is and remains to realise all events according to the well-known high level of the family-run and stable company. Despite the good booking situation and the great support from the industry, this is no longer the case for the coming May with regards to the current trade show calendar. Consequently, the Bluezone will not taking place on 3 and 4 May 2022.

However, buyers and product managers do not have to wait much longer for the physical exchange in the industry: The next show will be the View Premium Selection on 21 and 22 June 2022. As part of the Preview Textile Show, the first developments for Autumn.Winter 23/24 will be presented in the MVG Museum.

Independent show concept for Sourcing

The textile and fashion industry is warmly invited: to the next Munich Fabric Start Autumn.Winter 23/24 from 30 August to 1 September 2022 at the MOC Munich and to the Bluezone on 30 and 31 August 2022 at the Zenith grounds.

The trade show will surprise with an additional hall and a developed infrastructure. In addition to the areas Fabrics, Additionals, Design Studios, ReSource, Sustainable Innovations, Bluezone and Keyhouse, which have been tried and established for years, Sourcing is taking place as a stand-alone show-in-show concept in an independent, larger hall.

European all-in-one providers with a focus on Nearshoring present complete solutions for brands, labels and the retail sector in a brand-new ambience. Because on the Motorworld site, directly opposite the MOC, the event hall of around 2500 sqm will be used exclusively for Prime Manufacturing Solutions.
