Munich Fabric Start is moving up and announces its new dates.

From 2023, the summer editions of Munich Fabric Start, Bluezone, Keyhouse and The Source will take place in the second half of July.

Specifically, Munich Fabric Start will take place for the first time on its new date from Tuesday 18 to Thursday 20 July 2023. The location will remain the MOC Munich. Bluezone and Keyhouse and The Source will happen on the Zenith grounds will be staged as two-day events on18 and 19 July 2023.

"With the solution that has now been found, we are convinced that we can provide an answer to the most pressing questions of the industry," said Sebastian Klinder, managing director, Munich fabric Start. "The date modifications and diversification offer all our exhibitors a wide variety of opportunities to react in a targeted manner to new needs and changes in the market,” he added.

"With our rescheduling, we are positioning Munich Fabric Start and Bluezone early in the trade show calendar. In terms of timing, the new date thus perfectly sets and integrates seamlessly into the existing events and rhythms. The new concept of View flanks the events with a late and a very early date and thus offers even more targeted presentation opportunities," added Frank Junker, creative director, Munich Fabric Start. From summer 2023, View will continue to take place twice a year, but with a new concept: for the first time as ReView f/w 2024/2025 on 5 and 6 September 2023 after Munich Fabric Start from 18 July to 20 July 2023 and once as PreView s/s 2025 on 28 and 29 November 2023 before Munich fabric Start in January 2024.

Another adjustment concerns The Source. After its debut last summer, it will take place for its second edition on 18 and 19 July 2023. In the future, the new one-stop solution for holistic fashion sourcing will be organised as a once-a-year event as part of the summer editions of Munich Fabric Start and Bluezone. New is the supplementary format “The Source-Studio" during the January fair at MOC.

Keyhouse, as Hub for Future Textile Innovations, will take place every two days in the future and is thus adapted to the rhythm of Bluezone.

For its latest edition, Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH registered some very significant results, according to its organisers. The show, held from 30 August to 1 September 2022, not only celebrated the comeback of the show and its various connected initiatives after the covid-related adapted formats of the past seasons, but also marked its 50th anniversary edition.

The event hosted a total of 900 exhibitors from 40 countries, it welcomed more than 14,000 visitors and showed around 1,500 collections on a total exhibition area of 45,000 sq. meters; around 2,500 sq. meters more compared to the last pre-covid edition in September 2019 and the largest event in its history.
