Munich Fabric Start is being held from February 4 to 6, 2014, in Germany. This is a bi-annual trade show for German designers, manufacturers and suppliers of fashion fabrics, accessories and garments. The show presents the latest textile innovations and industry trends for Spring/Summer 2015. This time it’s hosting around 900 exhibitors from 35 countries presenting around 700 fabric manufacturers and 190 accessory makers. It is divided into eight areas and is showcasing a range of textiles, accessories and trims.
This edition’s theme is Haute Sporture, where high-tech textiles meet clear styles and the high art of couture meets sporty influences. Blue Zone focuses on denim with 70 international weavers, finishers and washers showing the latest denim innovations, washes and finishes.
Alongside skin-tight jeans some new styles such as jeans with a pleated waistband will also be presented. The diverse repertoire consists of contrasts from loose, trashy, baggy denim looks juxtaposed with accurate, slender silhouettes, combined with repaired patching, bleaching, coded statements, laser motifs, chic biker styles and lots of stretch denim.
The show’s S/S 2015 trend areas will characterise the play of opposites between denims and flat woven fabrics.
