17 Munich Fabric Start 17 TREND & COLOUR CODE As an additional service MUNICH FABRIC START offers dedicated trend publications as a compilation of the Trend and Colour Forums. TREND CODE provides an overview of the most important trend themes in elaborately designed Mood Stories comprising narrative explanations and Colour Cards with Pantone and Coloro codes.

As exclusively dyed high-quality yarns each assigned to a trend theme they make for an extra tactile fashion experience on top of the visual presentation.

18 18 Munich Fabric Start // PRE SHOW REPORT SPRING.SUMMER 19 INTERACTIVE TRADE FAIR CONCEPT WITH A CLEAR ALLEGIANCE TO THE LOCATION OF MUNICH MUNICH FABRIC START PUSHES NEW TRADE FAIR AND EVENT FORMATS Processing my Realities. This is the overarching trend theme at the latest edition of MUNICH FABRIC START. It impressively reflects the power of those interactions which seem so violent at present within the textile and fashion industry. The clash between online and analogue, between Industry 4.0 and skilled craftsmanship, between the virtual and the existent. And between Man + Machine, the concept theme of the BLUEZONE. You need a great deal of resilience to move within these worlds and allow a homogeneous whole to develop. Providing an initial impression of the transformation in real time and of the original materials and findings for the 19 Spring.Summer season is the trend installation featuring an additional photo gallery and video installation in the foyer of the MOC. MUNICH FABRIC START brings together the vitality of all these apparent opposites and converts their energetic potential into a stable plat-

19 19 Munich Fabric Start form with a mature and future-oriented identity and reality. Focused on product optimisation and the further development of solutions-oriented process innovation. MUNICH FABRIC START also once again offers an exclusive and jam-packed agenda of supporting events specially developed by textile and fashion experts for these increasingly demanding market segments a programme that provides impulses, indicates solutions and offers the opportunity for direct exchange. One that provides information on future trends and tendencies and leaves scope for exciting discussions. The programme includes trend seminars, panel discussions and workshops. As we see it, a trade fair should at each event offer a reflection of the market with perspective solutions and a concept portfolio geared to the future. We see ourselves here as a communicator, medium, networker and platform. This mediating role will become even more important in the future. Wolfgang Klinder, Managing Director at MUNICH FABRIC START In this pioneering and progressive spirit the KEYHOUSE, as a specially created centre of expertise and innovation for technological progress and sustainable innovations, focuses on e-textiles, bio-tech, sustainability as well as advanced manufacturing. The strong and intensive integration of technology and development within the product segments is one of MUNICH FABRIC START s prime areas of expertise. Our previous events have already impressively demonstrated this process.

20 Munich Fabric Start 20 Integrated into the exhibition concept at KEYHOUSE are the prizewinning developments of the HIGHTEX AWARD, MUNICH FABRIC START s innovation prize, that has already been presented four times now. An expert jury made up of media representatives and fashion professionals viewed and evaluated the most innovative product developments in the Smart Textiles, Sustainability, Resource Efficiency and Circularity Process segments in the run-up. Presentation of the HIGHTEX AWARD makes it possible to reach a marketing-relevant audience and have the kind of media impact that is proven to boost product launches long-term. The award ceremony will be held in the Forum at KEYHOUSE on the 2nd day of the trade fair (31 January am). Over the past eight years organicselection has developed into a meta-sourcing and trend information platform for innovative materials, blends and production techniques. Presented here once again is a large, inspiring, trend-setting and topical selection of innovative, future-oriented and sustainable fabrics, additionals and processing trends. Annexed onto this is the Sustainable Innovations Forum, a special section for sustainable new developments and innovative highlights. As a show in show concept the key Denim & Sportswear Brands will be presenting their latest product developments and process solutions in the BLUEZONE, one of the most important denim shows worldwide, from 30 to 31 January Dedicated workshops, panel discussions as well as the first screening of the documentary River Blue followed by an expert panel discussion supplementing the trade fair feature. The BLUEZONE with its special Man + Machine theme also focuses on the dialogue between manual skills and technology. At times harmoniously complementing each other and at others highlighting their differences. This is reflected in our continued focus on the idea of the Concept Zone. Thematically supported by panel discussions and lectures in the BLUEZONE Denim Club centring, amongst other things, on the development of fitted jeans, the future of heritage, the automation of finishes and sustainability in practice.

21 21 Munich Fabric Start Our declared aim is to further develop our pioneering role as an innovations fair, to step up our commitment to support our partners in ever more demanding and complex tasks, to supply input and to initiate partnerships. To create the basis for a successful business. With our focus always on investment in the product and the associated optimisation. Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director at MUNICH FABRIC START Going forward MUNICH FABRIC START will even more strongly utilise the advantages of the trade fair location of Munich and pursue an integrated concept in a more visible way than in the past. For instance, at the next edition BMW World will serve as a new and fascinating venue for an exclusive trend workshop care of Li Edelkoort on the second day of MUNICH FABRIC START (31 January 2018). In a private lecture featuring exclusive and hitherto unpublished content the internationally renowned trend researcher will

22 22 provide initial insights into the 19/20 Fall.Winter season. In times of ever tighter schedules, seasonal shifts and overlaps, of emerging new technologies and functionalities as well as changing production processes MUNICH FABRIC START considers linking up specialists and their knowledge to bring about networking one of its main tasks. MUNICH FABRIC START has the necessary flexibility to offer the required capacities and qualitative know-how to offer an ideal platform for a large community in both breadth and depth and to thereby create pioneering new impulses. Impressively documented by the 43rd edition of MUNICH FABRIC START with over 1,800 collections of the more than 1,000 leading international suppliers and producers of FABRICS and ADDITIONALS for Spring.Summer 19.

24 VIEW PREMIUM SELECTION

25 View Premium Selection 25 // VIEW PREMIUM SELECTION PROFILE What started as an exclusive Preview date has now developed into a well-established trade fair with international appeal. VIEW, the Preview Textile Fair of MUNICH FABRIC START, offers the assured information and planning security so crucial at an early point in time thereby responding immediately to changed processes and seasonal market shifts. The concept of the two consecutive and complementary trade fair concepts of VIEW Premium Selection and MUNICH FABRIC START has proved correct and forward-looking.

26 26 View Premium Selection // FABRIC SECTIONS At VIEW more than 350 collections of leading international fabrics and additionals suppliers provide the first well-researched preview of the textile and fashion trends for the respective season. At this early point in time the powerful portfolio of increasingly finalised and fine-tuned collections already impresses the leading creative teams of the national and international brands and designers expected in Munich. They showcase their developments in the areas of fabrics for men and women, additionals with findings and accessories as well as the initial highlights for denim & sportswear. Equally powerful are the early innovation proposals made by VIEW DESIGN STU- DIOS with the latest prints and patterns. Next to a wide range of 90 new collections and new power-house suppliers renowned exhibitors from, Austria, Switzerland, France, England,, Japan and Italy present the latest developments.

27 27 View Premium Selection // CLOSING REPORT SPRING.SUMMER 19 VIEW PREMIUM STRONG NETWORK WITH RISING VALUE ADDED More suppliers, increased exhibition space along with a continual rise in length of stay from high-quality visitors from home and abroad. This is the verdict of VIEW Premium Selection in Munich from 5 to 6 December The current edition of VIEW has once again confirmed its position as the leading Preview Textile Fair. This is underlined, not only by the numerous newcomers in the various product areas of women s and men s wear and denim but also by the creation of further presentation space in the Gallery of the MVG Museum as well as the additional use of the workshops for selected denim and sportswear suppliers. In particular, the strong, broad international collection portfolio from leading textile agencies made for a concentrated working atmosphere and a very positive mood over both days of the event. AS MANY AS FOUR MAJOR RENOWNED TEXTILE AGENCIES PRE- SENTED THEIR PORTFOLIO AT THE PREVIEW TEXTILE FAIR AT MUNICH FABRIC START FOR THE FIRST TIME. This is more than a satisfactory result. We are particularly delighted at the rise once again in length of stay from the ever more numerous regular visitors. This means VIEW has achieved its aim of becoming an early, professional and stable community platform with continuing growth potential. Wolfgang Klinder, Managing Director at MUNICH FABRIC START As many as four major renowned textile agencies presented their portfolio at the Preview Textile Fair at MUNICH FABRIC START for the first time. Alongside the textile agencies Max Müller, Thomas Geiger and Püttmann Tex-Research also exhibited at VIEW for the first time.

28 View Premium Selection 28 We are very satisfied with the coordination and organisation of the trade fair. The mood at VIEW and the setting of the show suit us and our fashion range. We have been able to welcome to the stand all our customers who attended the event. In July we will once again be represented at VIEW with as many suppliers as possible to facilitate this relaxed and intense work in Munich. Thomas Püttmann, Püttmann Textilagentur The prime reason for the move from Goldberg Studios to the MVG Museum is to make it easier for our customers. No shuttles, no location change and therefore no time wasting. Customer reaction was therefore very, very positive. Our suppliers were able to take away only positives from the new location. Obviously, we will be participating at the next VIEW. Thomas Nick Müller, Max Müller Textilagentur In parallel to the increased numbers of Pre-Collections suppliers exhibiting the portfolio of quality collections in the VIEW FABRICS and VIEW ADDITIONALS segments of the exhibiting companies rose from approx. 300 to a total of over 360. The combination of MUNICH FABRIC START with the BLUEZONE and VIEW Premium Selection gives rise to optimum synchronisation for the greatest possible planning security for collection design. Especially since the early ranges of fabrics and additionals are already well developed with strong, consolidated messages. To supplement this, numerous collections were broadened with topical and concentrated delivery themes for immediate ranges and/or Winter 18/19. For us the trade fair was very successful. Our customers are increasingly taking to this early date and not just those from the region. Here it is not just about discussing new developments as is often the case at early events. This is also where we already see the first doubled goods Furthermore, the new denim area with its connection to the workshops is very successful. The layout with short distances is perfectly designed. We feel very at home in this setting. Denis Purvis, Tejidos Royo

29 In addition to an initial selection from our summer range we also still feature selections from the winter collection. For Pronto Moda or for winter capsule collections. Overall, it is fair to say the strict division into seasons now only has limited validity. Michele Cappio, Cappio Tessuti For some manufacturers the date of VIEW is ideal. The men s wear segment, in particular, already kicks off here with concrete concepts while in women s wear s it is primarily the high-quality lines that are pushing ahead. We even already saw doubled goods. Here in Munich work proceeds at varying rhythms. Flexibility is required. Furthermore, we also use VIEW primarily as a platform to sound out the market. For us it is not about presenting a finished collection. In any case, the high quality of visitors says a great deal about this trade fair. Frank Weber, Velcorex With the individual approach to VIEW Premium Selection and the ensuing final range at MUNICH FABRIC START it has been possible to create a wholistic trade fair profile that boasts sufficient flexibility. This puts us in a position to be able to react to market developments, support pioneering processes with the segments and create sustainable innovations and impulses. Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director at MUNICH FABRIC START 29 The latest VIEW has shown that a clearly defined format and a high degree of identification are considerable stabilisers for a growing and functioning community that generates a high level of efficiency.

30 MUNICH APPAREL SOURCE

31 Munich Apparel Source 31 // MUNICH APPAREL SOURCE PROFILE The MUNICH APPAREL SOURCE Fair will be held from 5 to 7 September 2017, running for the first time concurrently with MUNICH FABRIC START. Approx. 200 international companies will be exhibiting their products and services here revolving around Manufactured Sourcing. Its range targets European brands and labels searching reliable manufacturing partners with quality standards on a global scale. The service spectrum of these internationally experienced manufacturing outfits comprises Cut-Make-Trim (CMT) and high-end production. Furthermore, such services as A-Z process solutions including sourcing processes are presented. Also featuring on the first day s agenda at MUNICH APPAREL SOURCE is an expert conference with high-calibre delegates on the Future of the Fashion Industry hosted by Holger Knapp, CEO of the publishing house Deutscher Fachverlag.

32 32 Munich Apparel Source // PRESS RELEASE MUNICH FABRIC START LAUNCHES NEW TRADE FAIR: MUNICH APPAREL SOURCE ADDS MANUFACTURING SOURCING SERVICE TO THE PORT- FOLIO The decision has been taken. The next MUNICH APPAREL SOURCE will be held from 4 to 6 September 2018 as an integrated event of MUNICH FABRIC START and directly connected to the MOC. The strategic and future-oriented new concept of dovetailing the two trade events in terms of both location and content is the result of an intense survey of the current market requirements as well as exhibitor and visitor expectations. The trade fair location of Munich offers optimum prerequisites for giving visitors comprehensive insight into the entire textile production chain and therefore also real synergy effects. This means MU- NICH FARBIC START is also continuing the strategy of extending its portfolio to include the next stage in the value added chain thereby offering a comprehensive service and product range for the fashion industry at one location. We were self-critical in our analysis of the first MUNICH APPAREL SOURCE in September We will use the next few months to develop an integrated and therefore sustainable concept. As a trade fair organiser and initiator we have a very clear mission with a concrete remit that we will fulfil with great commitment and responsibility. Wolfgang Klinder, Managing Director at MUNICH FABRIC START Measures promoting a sharper profile include the testing and presence of relevant supply countries and their companies in terms of compliance with European product standards. Beyond this the analysis of production processes and solutions in line with the latest market requirements. Just like earlier this year specialist lectures will present the performance of specific countries and regions in detail. This includes production capacities, production fo- MUNICH FABRIC START LAUNCHES NEW TRADE FAIR: MUNICH APPAREL SOURCE

The aim here with MUNICH APPAREL SOURCE is to offer a reliable international network platform and comprehensive and practical know-how on all key sourcing markets. For this reason comprehensive profiles of the exhibiting firms will provide information on their range of products and services as well as the available certifications. Global sourcing markets are still displaying great dynamism and movement with rapid shifts. These go hand in hand with promising opportunities. At MUNICH FABRIC START with integrated MUNICH APPAREL visitors can gather information on all the latest developments and trends in order to gear the development and manufacture of their products up to the future. At MUNICH FABRIC START we remain convinced that due to the ever stronger dovetailing of the markets, the increasing impact of digitalisation and the provocative change in consumer purchasing behaviour the complex presentation of reliable sourcing management is more important than ever. For this reason we are offering a professional, reliable and high-quality forum with two complementary trade fairs. Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director at MUNICH FABRIC START

34 STATEMENTS

35 35 Statements To us the offer of one early event in the form of VIEW and one principal trade fair held a few weeks later is simply ideal. At VIEW we select the basic materials, which we then have tested on prototypes over the following weeks. If the fabrics live up to our quality requirements we discuss specific colours, references and patterns with the suppliers at MU- NICH FABRIC START. Another big plus of this trade fair is the perfect organisation and the unique atmosphere. Alejandro Miralles Giro, Hugo Boss The new areas on the Zenith premises are very inspiring above all, the new denim hall with its extremely pleasant daylight ambience. We very much welcome this extension and are delighted with this new highlight complementing the MOC. But the ranges displayed in the main building also always meet our expectations to the full every time. We work here flat out for three full days. Filled with these impressions we now discuss the finalisation of our collection. Michel Willems, Alberto MUNICH FABRIC START has become a key communication platform for our company. Our international business partners use MUNICH FABRIC START to research the principal product trends with us. The timing of MFS suits this, also especially for innovative fast brand concepts. What s more, we always appreciate this accomplished mix of professional ranges and relaxed working atmosphere. Hans-Peter Hiemer, Business4Brands Consulting For the medium to high-end segment MUNICH FAB- RIC START seamlessly follows on from the sampling business started at VIEW. New developments pick up on the latest trends and translate these for the following delivery dates, the main collections and/ or the second lines of the new season. MUNICH FA- BRIC START has also gained in importance for our customers season on season. The ever more anticipated seasonal cycles have increasingly confirmed the right timing of MUNICH FABRIC START. By international standards it also a trade fair of shorter distances and lower costs for our customers. Martin Dolleschel, Union Knopf The rising number of trade fairs specialising in denim is proof of the special importance the fashion sector, and not just this, attaches to this segment. Regarding our German business, BLUEZONE is definitely the most important trade fair. It is the second event in our trade fair calendar to which we bring new collections. Our customers first go to Denim by but they only place orders in Munich. This trade fair allows us to get the first perceivable feedback for our work. Arianna Morimando, Berto E.G.
