Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH has rejigged dates and durations for its events to be held next year.
- The flagship Munich Fabric Start, along with Bluezone, Keyhouse and The Source will present their Autumn/Winter 2025/26 editions in the summer of 2024—on 3 and 4 September 2024—at the MOC, Zenith Area, and Dampfdom.
- Munich Fabric Start’s duration has been shortened to two days, which the organisers described as an exercise in “meticulous timing and operational efficiency.”
- The View show will serve as an early and exclusive preview textile show for the forthcoming season, welcoming its attendees for the first time already in mid-June, specifically 18 and 19 June 2024—at Dampfdom Motorworld.
FOCUSSED AND EFFECTIVE: Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH said that with this scheduling, the shows will remain pivotal sourcing platforms that continually adapt to the ever-changing demands of the fashion industry.
- A statement explained: “The organisers maintain an ongoing and intensive dialogue with exhibitors, visitors and key partners. The decision to reschedule the Autumn/Winter 2025/26 editions for early September and mid-June in the next summer season is the outcome of this dialogue.”
THE EVENTS: Encompassing an area of 42,500 sq m distributed across eight areas, the Munich Fabric Start, Keyhouse and The Source events showcase around 1,100 collections for the fashion and apparel industry from exhibitors worldwide.
- The Bluezone denim trade show brings together about 100 collections from the denim, street, and sportswear segments in the industrial-chic setting of the directly adjacent Zenith Area.
- During the two-day trade show, View offers the industry an optimally focused setting to preview the most recent trends, material developments and innovations at an early stage, as well as to engage in essential exchanges with key suppliers.
WHAT THEY SAID:
With our set summer dates, we enable the industry to convene at an internationally accessible location at the right time for order and collection cycles. Across our eight areas, from Fabrics, Bluezone, and Additionals to ReSOURCE, Sourcing, Design Studios, Keyhouse and Sustainable Innovations, we are crafting a holistic one-stop sourcing platform of unparalleled nature. The adjustment of our running times to a uniform two-day format also addresses the industry’s profound need for efficient time and budget management. We eagerly anticipate the forthcoming summer.
