| International Fabrics Fair The Munich textile trade fair munich fabric start – pre collections from 7-9 February 2007 is opening the fashion season Spring/Summer 2008 full of optimism. With 680 exhibitors in Halls 1-4 of the M, O, C, and Zenith Hall, the fair is once again fully booked. The new cooperation with Idea Prisco, which takes place from 6-8 February 2007 at Prinzregentenplatz 23 in Munich, strengthens Munich as an international hub for textiles. At the same time, in addition to the comprehensive offering at munich fabric start, the cooperation offers buyers a look at top Italian collections which were previously not represented at the fair. For years now, the textile agent Prisco has presented the small but quite nice fabric and fabric accessories fair, which is presenting 33 mostly Italian lines for the coming season. With around 1, 600 collections, including those of all key European mills, munich fabric start again offers the fashion industry an efficient and extensive introduction to the season. The bundled international offering is categorized as follows: 155 companies in the area of additionals; that is, fashion accessories and trim. There are 434 companies in the area collections, 51 companies in the blue zone with its denim finishers and mills, and about 40 exhibitors in the asia salon. With its about 40 exhibitors, the asia salon in the atrium above Hall 4 has to defer to the Chinese New Year festivities, which many Chinese companies are celebrating in their homeland. Thus, primarily high-quality South Korean companies (15) are the largest influence on products offered in the asia salon this time. Above and beyond sheer quantity, the potential of the Asian offerings is being further strengthened, because the successful premiere at the last September event has shown that the concentrated presentation fundamentally lightens the workload of attendees. For the first time, Union Knopf Hong Kong and Union Knopf Shanghai will be represented with stands in the asia salon. With the comprehensive trend theme bio-logic, munich fabric start takes up the discussion around new ethical values for the Spring/Summer Season 2008 – a discussion which meanwhile encompasses all areas of life and influences one's lifestyle. The new fabrics stand symbolically for the transition from an authentic naturalness to a monochromatic minimalism, behind which lies high technology at its best. Nature and technology unite in a new, highly efficient, but aesthetic way. This theme carries throughout the various color and fabric displays in the forums as well as through the trend outfits. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
