More than 950 manufacturers of fabrics and additionals

Completely booked BLUEZONE inspired by “rACE and ZEN”

Top-class framework program

With more than 950 international exhibitors – the organisers of MUNICH FAbrIC STArT are counting on a successful kick-off event for the AUTUMN.WINTEr 15/16 season in Munich from 2-4 September 2014. An excellent exhibitor portfolio of the latest developments and innovations in fabrics and accessories on over 40,000 square meters of exhibit space will await the arrival of approximately 20,000 international trade visitors.

“We’re the ones kicking off the season. No other trade fair offers such a thoroughly edited and concentrated overview of the latest developments and trends at such an early time. Fewer and fewer of the important industry players are willing to miss out on this informational edge and the chance for an early exploration of the season’s options. That leaves only one conclusion: MUNICH FAbrIC STArT, boasting some 950 international fabrics and accessories manufacturers, has become firmly established as a leading international trade fair for textiles and accessories. For several seasons now, we’ve seen steady growth in the number of exhibitors – at a time of increasing international standards, no less”, states Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director of MUNICH FAbrIC STArT prior to the fair.

EXTrAandOrDINArY – FashionIn a dance between clarity and complexityAfter several extremely versatile and expressive seasons the creative flood of ideas, styles, colours, cuts, themes and their combination calms down. Visions and inspirations lead to the belief of more clarity.

Especially interesting to us as a textile fair remains the high creativity within the fabrics and findings! And through those materials even the normality is reset in a modern and new way. The season Autumn.Winter 15/16 focuses primarily on the connection between the ordinary and the extraordinary leading to this season’s title “EXTrAandOrDINArY”.Classic matters are on the rise with slightly minimalist entries and in technical materials. romantic themes are more dry and not as dreamy. High-tech influences are mixed with the pure and grounded. The dandy is dandy – only more progressive, and visionary, futuristic topics are connected to the earthly. Apparent, functional sportivity remains a major topic replenishing every collection and making the person look more active. This is oftentimes achieved by mixing fabrics and designs, for example barock jacquards for sports, bondings for classics or fur for casual.

// EXTrAandOrDINArYMUNICH FAbrIC STArT opens a promising season Autumn.Winter 15/16 under the sujet “EXTrAandOrDINArY”.

With another increase in exhibitors BLUEZONE takes place on 2 and 3 September in a fully booked Zenith Hall. Altogether 75 international denim weavers, finishers and washers, including the who‘s who of the denim community, show the latest denim innovations, washes and finishes. Among the roughly 75 international weaving mills, finishers and laundries, there are several new participants, such as US Group, Denimco, Sartex

and others. The portfolio is rounded off by established divisions GrEENZONE, r.M.S. ready made Solutions and TiST - Tomorrow is Today with the first SprING.SUMMEr 16 developments.

True to BLUEZONE’s season title “rACE and ZEN“, two life philosophies collide, forming the fashionable and trendy field for a play of opposites between denims

and flat woven fabrics in AUTUMN.WINTEr 15/16. Two life philosophies collide here to create a composition of contradictions that will serve as a stage for the presentation of the stylish and trendy range of denims and flats for the 2015/2016 Autumn/Winter season. The tendencies here come from two directions: one is more technical and functional, featuring jeans with woven-in Kevlar and integrated protectors, while the other is more meditative, OM-oriented and peaceful. bALAGANS will bring pure denim inspiration to BLUEZONE. With a passion for denim, a love for craftsmanship and the courage to experiment, bALAGANS has developed its own denim design signature since its founding in 2011 far removed from

the style parameters set by cowboys and work clothing. In turning jeans traditions upside down and collaborating with artists and musicians from the street, denim designs are created that tell stories. balagans brings street atmosphere to BLUEZONE, and creates denim inspirations from art, design and personal handiwork. An experimentally developed collection is being presented, with which the hostesses and the Artmosphere Team will be dressed and styled.

// ECO VILLAGE ANDORGaNICselection

Sustainability Expert and Sourcing platform

The ECO VILLAGE is MUNICH FAbrIC STArT’s competence centre for the global sustainability theme and serves as a platform for certification bodies, consultants and non-profit organisations dealing with eco and natural materials as well as ecologically oriented corporate strategies.

The selection of sustainable and ecologically certified fabrics out of a portfolio from 900 international fabric and additionals manufacturers – this is the approach the organicselection follows every season at MUNICH FAbrIC STArT. And herewith gives the answer to the current market needs for information and sourcing opportunities of modern eco fabrics.The success of organicselection has proved that sustainability is essential and gives directions. However, not only are presented modern eco fabrics but as well

accessories since a few seasons. Since accessories and findings also require inspection and certification for confirming the sustainability of the complete finished product, certified sustainable additionals will be presented here in a pooled manner. After all, unlike with textiles there are hardly any independent schemes for verifying these requirements for accessories.

Added benefitThe labels of the fabrics presented at organicselection are additionally tagged with a Qr code that directly links to the product page of the specific fabric. Just scan the Qr code of the required fabric and you will be linked quick and easily to all technical specifications.

by the Way BLUEZONE, the Denim & Sportswear area, also dedicates a special exhibition area to sustainability issues in the textile industry. In the GrEENZONE you may find the sustainable innovations of the BLUEZONE exhibitors.

Innovative Online Sourcing platform For Eco Fabrics The complete portfolio organicselection is also available online – more than 500 certified fabrics are available on this unique portal. With this move MUNICH FAbrIC STArT has responded to the need for a sustainable textiles sourcing platform available long term and now offers an easy way to source eco fabrics 365 days per year.

BEST PRACTICE WORKSHOP: “Wer Mode trägt, kann auch Verantwortung tragen“ – Wege zum verantwortungsvollen Textil-Sourcing

Der Einkauf von textilen produkten wird immer mehr zur strategierelevanten Herausforderung. Durch wach-sendes öffentliches Interesse werden Umwelt- und Sozialausbeutung in produktionsländern zu risiken in der eigenen Wertschöpfungskette.

Das Thema ist komplex: Wo liegen die großen Herausforderungen im Sustainability und Compliance Management der unübersichtlichen textilen produktionskette?Wie kann man als einkaufendes Unternehmen seiner Verantwortung gerecht werden? Ist nachhaltiges Sourcing tatsächlich teurer als konventionelles? Oder kann es sogar einen Mehrwert für die eigene Nachhaltigkeitsperformance bedeuten?

Nachhaltigkeit in der textilen Wertschöpfungskette

Die Herstellung von Textilien stellt eine besonders starke belastung für die Umwelt dar. Die Hot-Spots liegen dabei in der Supply Chain. Die produktionsprozesse sind wasser- und energieintensiv und es kommen zahlreiche Chemikalien zum Einsatz. Klimawandel und ressourcenknappheit stellen die Textil- und bekleidungsindustrie vor eine große Herausforderung – der Handlungsdruck wächst. Die branche hat die Aufgabe, ihre produktionsprozesse ökologisch verantwortbar zu gestalten, mit den ressourcen effizient umzugehen und Verschmutzung der Umwelt zu vermeiden. Auch Verbraucher können durch ihr Kauf- und Nutzenverhalten Einfluss nehmen. Weltweit verzweigte Supply Chains erschweren die Umsetzung. Aufgrund komplexer beschaffungsstrukturen sind die Einflussmöglichkeiten für Unternehmen auf die produktion häufig begrenzt. Verbraucher sind oft aufgrund mangelnder Textilkennzeichnung nicht in der Lage, sich bewusst für nachhaltige Textilien zu ent-scheiden. Trotz der Herausforderungen sind alle Akteure der textilen Wertschöpfungskette nicht nur in der pflicht, sondern auch in der Lage durch gezielte Maßnahmen die Umweltauswirkungen in der Textilproduktion zu beeinflussen.

ASIA SALON

In 2003 the BLUEZONE was launched as a unique concept for the textile sector and is seen as the key starting point for all denim fairs. Focused in Hall 5 (Zenith Hall) right next door to the MOC are the fabric and accessories trends for the denim and sportswear segment. Meanwhile, approximately 70 of the world’s leading denim weavers, finishers and washers present the latest developments for denim-, street- and sportswear. To the season S/S 12, BLUEZONE has started into a new era: Under the slogan “Tomorrow is Today” or shortly “TisT”, the future is taken as programme. The centrepiece of this visionary concept

lies in presenting two seasons, the current season but also initial ideas and developments for the next season. by this the sourcing is given a new creative dimension - already today trends are presented that will become more and more important tomorrow. Exhibitors in this section include: Orta Anadolu, ISKO, Europa, ITV, Tejidos royo, Candiani S.p.A , bossa, Calik Denim.

In 2006 the ASIA SALON was formed as a stage for se-lected manufacturers from the Asian region. In addition to showcasing high-tech systems for outerwear, the collections in Atrium 3 also focus on trend ranges for

lingerie, fashion and sportswear – for both woven and knitted goods. Exhibitors in this section include: TaeOh, Concordia, Tex-Link, Everest and Kunshan Huayue.

Another Creative Dimension! Initiated in September 2012, DESIGN STUDIOS is the concrete response to a growing need for progressive and individual de-sign solutions in the textile industry. The creative plat-form of MUNICH FAbrIC STArT has established as independent exhibition format in the firstFlooR and opens a new creative dimension to the visitor’s design

process. Textile designers and trend offices from all over the world present their textile designs and latest developments thus offering the sourcing process to be arranged more flexible. Exhibitors in this section include: Anteprima, Gibson Design Studio, robert Vernet, Lica Design, bernini, Amsterstampa and Tom Cody Design.

Services beyond fabrics! SHOWrOOMS is the con-crete answer to changing demands on the market. In September 2009 MUNICH FAbrIC STArT ex-tended its range to include full-packaging suppli-ers. In the classy surroundings at SHOWrOOMS, selected firms present their entire range of services. They are taking over where manufacturers and trad-ing firms leave off in terms of sourcing and production.

SHOWrOOMS is just a further proof that MUNICH FAbrIC STArT is right on to the market demands. It maintains its flexibility while remaining a significant service partner for the market. Exhibitors in this seg-ment include: Teijin Frontier, blustar, Tat Fung, H. D. Isler and Lagoon.

MUNICH FAbrIC STArT is held at a modern trade fair and exhibition centre, the Munich Order Centre (MOC) in the north of Munich. The unique architecture is brightand spacious providing different stand and presentation possibilities.

barbara Gnutti, ITV Industria Tessile del Vomano (I): “First of all we are extremely intrigued with the way that MUNICH FAbrIC STArT has arranged BLUEZONE. It is a very beautiful presentation area for the collections now. Music and lighting were excellent and the support through the new Trend book is also perfect. Furthermo-re, I would like to thank you for the wonderful Oktober-fest where we had a fantastic time. For us, however, two days are very tight.”

reiner Knochel, product/Channel Marketing Manager of the yarn factory Madeira Garnfabrik (DE):“Already after two days we reached the customer num-bers this time that we normally reach after three. We are really enthusiastic. Organisation is so helpful, exhibitors’ needs are always catered for and everything runs so smoothly. plus all the service and atmosphere – just great”.

Marco Lucietti, Global brand Manager of ISKO: “The new BLUEZONE concept has convinced ISKO and we are delighted that we saw more than 50 custo-mers over the two days of the trade fair including such key accounts as Hugo boss, Mac Jeans, Gardeur, Zer-res, Gerry Weber, Esprit and brax. MUNICH FAbrIC STArT is for us an opportunity to maintain contacts and conclude and fine-tune deals that have been in the pipeline. For this we feel two days makes sense. The mood was generally good at the BLUEZONE, as I also learnt from other exhibitors and customers.”

panos Sofianos, royo:“For royo and Denim Valley, BLUEZONE is the abso-lutely perfect platform! We have joined it right from the beginning and never missed a season because we like the style and ambiance of MFS very much. The trade fairs are well-organized with functional stands and equip-ment as basis for exhibitors to be optimally presented. A variety of services is offered and the enjoyable but pro-ductive working atmosphere is appreciated by our cus-tomers. This multinational platform offers sound trend information at an ideal timing for the denim community to be informed about the latest market developments. That is why bLUEZONE for us is the perfect place to do business with pleasure.”

// TESTIMONIALSExhibitor Testimonials at MUNICH FAbrIC STArT in a Nutshell:

roland Oberstein, N.I. Teijin Shoji Europe:“The discontinuation of Interstoff years ago made room for a new fair and new concept in Germany. Thanks to its early date each season MUNICH FAbrIC STArT managed to make itself indispensable to the German market in a very short time. Anyone wanting to sell to-day in Germany has to exhibit here. Munich is the most important date for the entire German fashion sector – today already more important than Texworld and pV in paris.”

Kevin Lobo, Creative Director of boss black:“I am a big fan of MUNICH FAbrIC STArT. We are represented with over 50 teamsters here.”

Andreas Faerber, CEO of A.M.F. spa:“AMF is one of the pioneers at MUNICH FAbrIC STArT and was already presented at the fair when it was still an event for bavarian trade representatives. The fair par-ticularly makes sense because of its early date – we would even prefer mid-July. Though the date in Febru-ary is perfect. We use the fair not only to maintain cus-tomer contacts but also as a real “working fair“ where new developments are suggested and discussed. Mi-lan or paris are not options for us (AMF does not exhibit there) as these fairs are too late and too dispersed – we want to work with our customers in a targeted manner.”

Norbert Hinderberger, Orta Anadolu (Tr): “bLUEZONE by MUNICH FAbrIC STArT will be an even more substantial platform for us in the future. The concept completely matches with our company’s pres-ence that we already redesigned last season.The fair has become more and more important for Orta, so we were encouraged to add another extra for September – with a central and extended stand. Our customers are excited.”
