First among the international fabric trade fairs, MUNICH
FABRIC START will be kicking off the 2016 Spring/
Summer season from 2 to 4 February 2015. More than
900 international suppliers from 35 countries will come
to Munich to present a distinguished portfolio of 1,500
collections. On show will be the latest developments
and innovations in apparel fabrics and findings, plus
dressing, finishing and technology from well-established
manufacturers, weavers, printers and textile service
providers.
MUNICH FABRIC START attracts up to 20,000 visitors,
including buyers, designers and product managers
representing famous brands. They will descend on the
sold-out halls of the MOC event centre and to Zenith Hall
to examine and source everything they need to design
their women’s and men’s collections, from special, topquality basics to high-fashion fabrics.
OSCILLATING IDENTITIES –
trends in the field of tension
inspires with textile richness and innovative architecture.
Thoughts of the One Thousand & One Days oscillate
between an old Byzantine spirit and a futuristic brain.
The fashion pendulum swings even higher when
sporty high-tech and psychedelic influenced digital
Hippies reach their creative peak. Seeing the beauty of
imperfection in something modern with a fashion rash
isn’t just a discovery for the Zen Master this season –
a healthy egotism brings us all back to ourselves and
allows us to just enjoy being here now. Of course, our
relaxed vibe, with a twinkle in the eye, wouldn’t mind
taking a selfie.
The Spring.Summer 16 season has exciting, new
and sometimes unusual trends in store for us that
won’t necessarily conform to the prefabricated beauty
portrayed in the media or the prevailing aesthetic. A
bit of provocation – too large, too wide, too off-thewall – and a hint of anti-fashion will be mixing up the
fashion. It looks like another multifaceted season is
upon us: in line with the OSCILLATING IDENTITIES
theme, trends will swing back and forth between
diverse and parallel cultures, covers, identities, themes
and details. Romantic themes have a very strong drive.
Wide silhouettes waft dreamily, playful yet elegant. The
modern, hot Orient provokes with reduced design and

„DENIM EXTREMES“
S P R I N G . S UM M ER 16
I N T E R N AT I O N A L
The latest denim and sportswear developments and
finishes will be on display at the BLUEZONE, which
will be staged in the unique ambiance of the adjacent
Zenith Hall. Held on 2 and 3 February 2015, the showin-show at MUNICH FABRIC START continues to
enjoy extremely strong demand and offers the denim
and sportswear community an optimal setting for work
that’s both productive and creative. Running under the
FA B R I C T R A D E FA I R
heading of DENIM EXTREMES, the Spring.Summer 16
BLUEZONE will feature a better-than-ever line-up of
about 80 international denim weavers, finishers and
washers. Leading brands such as Candiani SpA, Isko,
Orta Anadolu, Tejidos Royo, Calik and Lanificio Europa
SNC will be joined by these notable newcomers: Denim
Authority, Industrias Morera Unitin, DNM Textile, Fashion
Point and Suryalakshmi Cotton Mills.
In summer 2016, denim is confrontational to the
extreme. Radical statements on opposite sides of the
fashion spectrum start an exciting dialogue. Extreme
widths step on to fashion’s playing field and oppose
equally extreme slim silhouettes. Super short shorts are
confronted by long coats while extremely clean jeans
position themselves just as self-confidently as extremely
destroyed denims.
The Paris-based trend & design studio Monsieur-T. will
present a creative and inspiring think thank on the Blue
Stage at the BLUEZONE to highlight the company’s
specialised knowledge of denim trends. Monsieur T.
operates internationally as a brand design and market
evaluation consultancy and delivers tailored analyses
on seasonal design and sourcing trends to renowned
brands. The denim art exhibit staged by the exclusive
label “Nadel & Pen” will present pure inspiration and
creativity – 100% tailored, 100% hand-crafted and
100% made in France.
Completing the BLUEZONE portfolio are denim-related
products such as flats, corduroy, mill-washed fabrics,
accessories and the latest innovations for resourcefriendly finishes.

// ECO VILLAGE AND
ORGANICSELECTION
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.
In response to the great demand the ECO VILLAGE has
been expanded this season. A total of 11 partners will
be onsite this season, to answer all questions regarding
Eco Fabrics and sustainable textile production. GOTS,
IVN, IMO, OEKO-TEX, Fair Wear Foundation, Ceres,
bluesign technologies and bioRe will be joined this time
by Fairtrade, WRAP and Cotton made in Africa (CmiA).
Due to the expanded agenda, events will be held in
two presentation venues – the ECO TALK, featuring all
lectures and workshops on sustainability, in Room K4
| Foyer Hall . And the TRENDSEMINARS, featuring all
trend lectures, in Room K2 | Foyer Hall 1.
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.
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.
Added Benefit
The 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.

year exhibitors from all over the world meet in Munich
for the season opening to present the latest fabric and
accessory trends to the fashion industry. With a unique
trade fair format that provides sound trade and trend
information in a productive working atmosphere combined with a personal touch, MUNICH FABRIC START
has meanwhile established as an international sourcing
platform for designers, product managers and buyers.
About 900 exhibitors from 35 countries, around 1,500
collections and a comprehensive range of fabrics, additionals, fabric finishing and full-packaging services
ensure the competence and professionalism required
by 20,000 trade visitors for a perfect season opening.
MUNICH FABRIC START covers the entire area of the
Munich Order Center MOC as well as the neighbouring
Zenith Hall. Top-class trend events, forums, trade publications as well as star-studded panel discussions offer
a substantial information pool to trade visitors.
The early entry in the new fashion season and a comprehensive range from basic to haute couture collections
convince industry professionals from throughout Europe.
“Quality instead of quantity” while still staying close to
the market is and will be the claim for those in charge at
MUNICH FABRIC START.

// AREAS & EXHIBITORS
COLLECTIONS
The entire product range of fashion fabrics from basic to
haute couture creations for all apparel segments is presented on three exhibition floors. These include woven
and knitted fabrics in wool, cotton, silk, silk-look und
functional fabrics. Also to be found here are relatively
new fibres such as bamboo, polylactic and milk fibres,
high-tech coatings and intelligent fabric systems for
activewear. Highly topical themes and new market
trends such as sustainability, eco-certifications or organic fibres are focussed, – where necessary – especially highlighted and explained by experts. Exhibitors in
this section include: Marzotto, Ratti Donna, Lisa, Sympatex, Avelana, Wolbo-Fashion, Riopele/Bonotto.
ADDITIONALS
Trims and accessories form the second focus of the
trade fair. More than two halls feature some 200 of the
world’s leading specialists showcasing both functional
and decorative ideas in this segment. This area offers
the latest trends in buttons, ribbons, ornamentations,
rhinestones, fasteners and labels. The latest develop-
ments in linings, lace, embroidery and interlinings will
be presented here as well as full-service solutions for
labelling & branding. Exhibitors in this section include:
Union Knopf, Swarovski, Agentur Fabian, A.M.F., YKK,
Shindo, Knopf Schäfer, Rifi, Cadica Group, Bodo Jagdberg.
ASIA SALON
In 2006 the ASIA SALON was formed as a stage for
selected 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:
Universal Textile, Concordia, Texlife, Everest und Luthai
Textile’.
BLUEZONE
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
2 and 3 February 2015
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,
Denim Authority and Tüsa Group.
SHOWROOMS
Services beyond fabrics! SHOWROOMS is the concrete answer to changing demands on the market.
In September 2009 MUNICH FABRIC START extended its range to include full-packaging suppliers. In the classy surroundings at SHOWROOMS,
selected firms present their entire range of services.
They are taking over where manufacturers and trading 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 segment include: Teijin Frontier, Blustar, Tat Fung, H. D. Isler
and Lagoon.
DESIGN STUDIOS
Another Creative Dimension! Initiated in September
2012, DESIGN STUDIOS is the concrete response
to a growing need for progressive and individual design solutions in the textile industry. The creative platform 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.
// 25
// LOCATION
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 bright
and spacious providing different stand and presentation
possibilities. The range of exhibition space spans from
white stands and light-flooded atriums to individual
studios. This creates a comfortable and productive
working atmosphere that is appreciated by both,
exhibitors and visitors time and again.
BLUE ZONE is located in the Zenith Hall (Hall 5) only a
few metres away from the MOC. This old factory building dating from the 20s with the charm of its industrial
past creates an inspiring and product-oriented working
environment for exhibitors and visitors alike.
The exhibition venue of MUNICH FABRIC START consisting of these two locations can easily be reached by
car and public transport and offers sufficient parking facilities.

// TESTIMONIALS
Exhibitor Testimonials at MUNICH FABRIC START in a Nutshell:
Florian Diebel,
Hugo Boss :
Dirk Jaster,
Bogner:
“MUNICH FABRIC START is a modern, innovative trade
show where you can work productively in a very pleasant setting. Its service and top notch supporting programme give this show its special edge. A major advantage of MUNICH FABRIC START is its location making it
possible for every member of our team to come here on
a day trip. The line-up of exhibitors is extensive even if
by comparison we only visit a small number of suppliers
in the clothing segment. We use the trade show to fine
tune and finalise the concepts developed for us with
suppliers. We observe the trends and the mainstream
here and hold talks with agencies.”
“MUNICH FABRIC START follows on seamlessly from
the medium/high-end ranges already presented at
VIEW. New developments pick up on the latest trends
and translate these for the further delivery dates of the
main collections or second lines of the new season.
For our customers MUNICH FABRIC START has also
gained importance from season to season. Progressively anticipatory season cycles increasingly underline
the right timing of MUNICH FABRIC START. Compared
with other international fairs this trade show offers our
customers shorter distances and lower costs.”
Thomas Geiger,
Textilagentur Geiger:

Hans-Peter Hiemer
Business4Brands Consulting:
Holger Schmidt,
Pierre Cardin:
“For our company MUNICH FABRIC START has become a key communication platform. Our international
business partners use MUNICH FABRIC START together with us to research the key product trends. MFS is
favourably timed for this, especially for fast-developing,
innovative brand concepts. We also appreciate the ever
successful blend of professional range and relaxed
working atmosphere.”
“For Pierre Cardin menswear MUNICH FABRIC START
is the most important show as it is currently the first fair
where most suppliers showcase not just excerpts or a
pre-collection but, for the first time, their whole collection. This applies both to face fabrics and findings. Due
to its early date MUNICH FABRIC START has high and
constantly rising standing within Europe. As well as its
quality exhibitors and early dates, we also particularly
appreciate the really great organisation of the trade fair.”
Arianna Morimando,
Berto E.G:
“The increasing number of fairs dedicated to the denim
sector is clear testimony to the particular attention that
the fashion business, and not only, is paying towards
this sector. As for our German business, BLUEZONE is
definitely the most important exhibition. It is the second
event in our trade fair schedule, where we go with the
new collection. First our customers come to Denim by,
but they start placing orders in Munich. This show allows us to have the first real and tangible feedback on
our work.”
