- Showrooms for Full-Packaging Services:
The showroom concept for Full-Packaging Services was also a 100% success. Even at this early stage further enquiries from interested parties have been received and, hence, the trade fair management has started considering a further extension of this area.
Some visitor statements:
“munichfabricstart is a top trade fair. For us it is the most important fair and the development it has undergone is enormous. Here I find nearly everything I need. It's simply great.” Susanne Schwenger, Creative Director Marc O'Polo “Over the past years the trade fair has become super professional. The working atmosphere continues to be good and you can work in an incredibly concentrated manner. Keep up the good work!” Ulrich Schulte, Head of Design Riani “I have always enjoyed munichfabricstart. It is manageable. The halls are not too big and you immediately find the exhibitors you are looking for. In contrast to Paris, which is very expensive, admission here is free. There is complimentary coffee and lunch, which is great especially for the young, up-and-coming elite. Furthermore, all key weaving mills and printers are here and you meet an incredible number of new designers. This is a “welcome fair”. We always come here for all three days to give us time to have a proper look round.” Guido Maria Kretschmer, Designer “The trade fair has developed well. It is ideal for us. It is clearly segmented into the various areas like the high-quality section or the asiasalon. There is a proper working atmosphere, the catering is wonderful making this a nice all-round package.”
Manfred Kames, General Manager Zaffiri Fashion summary for Winter 2010/2011: endless emotion, intelligence and new values
- A soft touch and flowing fabrics. Many soft wools, raised cottons and airy knits. Generally fabrics that enclose air, flatter and keep warm. These include coloured fun furs for trims, embossed velvets, brushed cotton, only slight twist wovens, thick yarns, jerseys as before, fine tweeds presented in a tone-on-tone rather than gaudy colour scheme, and carded checks. In general, coloured wovens and prints were in demand to contrast with the monotony of the many solid fabrics. The new ecological mind-set has boosted the demand for organic cotton, wool and silk.
- New high-tech theme: winter neoprene, natural bondings in wool and cotton or wool and techno. Double-face fabrics consisting of patterned wool or cotton. Needlefelt and woollen felts with membranes. Gloss and wax coatings or transparent coatings that allow the wool texture to still shine through – referred to by the Italians as “sotto vetro” - i.e. under glass.
- A sportswear feel is exuded by “tarred” surfaces and coatings with mock broken surfaces. Wax coatings are even offered in 100% beeswax for the organic area. Fabrics that could originate from workwear looking rough but with a soft touch. Leather-type surfaces, recycled polyester and eco-denim to “soothe the green conscience”.
