The time has come for value creation and values to be reconciled. Consistent alignment with the sustainable development goals is an important step in this direction.”

“Frankfurt Fashion Week aims to play a crucial role in finding solutions for macrosocial challenges and supporting the goals of international politics such as the European Green Deal. The fashion and textile industries are also expected to be climate-neutral by 2050. If we want to achieve this, we all need to pull together. Frankfurt Fashion Week is inviting all initiators and supporters of sustainable concepts and congresses or shows dedicated to sustainability to meet in Frankfurt, partake in discussions and make tangible decisions for the greater good. We will connect the most relevant players and pave the way for a future-proof fashion and textile industry,” Detlef Braun, CEO of Messe Frankfurt, said.

"We are committed to setting the wheels of transformation in motion. Not only does the overall mindset have to fundamentally change; the entire industry also needs to have the courage to be transparent and honest. It’s important to see values and value creation as opportunities rather than contentious. We are doing what we do best: connecting the relevant players at all levels. With its ecosystem, Frankfurt Fashion Week will become the enabler. We are creating a platform that will orchestrate industry-wide change. With this as our inspiration, we are also developing our tradeshow formats from a ‘marketplace of products’ to a ‘marketplace of purpose and ideas’,” Anita Tillmann, managing partner of the Premium Group, said.

A key feature of Frankfurt Fashion Week will be the consistent involvement of the entire city. Frankfurt will therefore become a stage for contemporary fashion presentations and a discourse space for dialogue between fashion professionals and a fashion-savvy public. As the organiser of Frankfurt Fashion Week, Messe Frankfurt has held intensive talks with various agencies, resulting in the establishment of a Creative Board with 11 nationally renowned Frankfurt agencies, which have come up with innovative, game-changing concept ideas for the city.

“Revitalising our urban economy and achieving a new post-coronavirus normality will be the key challenges and success factors for a future-oriented urban policy from 2021. In this regard, we are in the fortunate position of being able to create global and local synergies with Frankfurt Fashion Week: globally, Frankfurt Fashion Week is working towards a more sustainable, fairer and environmentally friendly fashion system. Locally, an investment of 10 million euros, jointly supported by the city of Frankfurt am Main, the state of Hesse and Messe Frankfurt, will generate an anticipated indirect return of over 200 million euros per year over three years. This makes Frankfurt Fashion Week a real win-win situation for everyone involved,” Uwe Becker, mayor and city treasurer, said in the release.

“What really impresses me about Fashion Week is the whole networking aspect: the creative industries will meet the financial world and sustainability is the common denominator. The Green Finance Cluster is another project that we could link with Frankfurt Fashion Week in the future. This will provide new inspiration in the fashion industry, which will certainly extend way beyond its own horizon of Frankfurt and Hesse. After a very difficult year for the trade fair industry, the concept is an encouraging breath of fresh air,” Tarek Al-Wazir, Hesse’s minister of economics, energy, transport and regional development and deputy minister-president of the state of Hesse.
