Aus der Branche

• B2B-Format der Neonyt findet ab Januar 2023 2x jährlich in Düsseldorf parallel zu den Fashn Rooms statt
• Messe Frankfurt plant internationalen Roll-out der Veranstaltung

Ab Januar 2023 wird die Neonyt als B2B-Event in Düsseldorf stattfinden. Weitere Satelliten im internationalen Kontext sind geplant. Den ersten Schritt macht die Messe Frankfurt in Deutschland gemeinsam mit der Igedo Company, die ab sofort die volle operative Planung und Umsetzung der Neonyt für den Standort Düsseldorf übernimmt.

Die Neonyt wird künftig als Lizenzveranstaltung parallel zu den FASHN ROOMS in Düsseldorf stattfinden. Das streng nachhaltige Sortiment der Neonyt findet neben den Fashn Rooms-Segmenten Agencies & Premium Brands (Showroom Concept), Avantgarde, Design & Contemporary sowie Accessoires und Shoes eine neue Heimat.

„Wir freuen uns sehr, die Igedo Company für eine Zusammenarbeit gewonnen zu haben“, sagt Olaf Schmidt. „Die Neonyt und ihre Cross Sector-Community sind in Düsseldorf in bester Gesellschaft und die Messelandschaft sowie die nachhaltige Textil- und Modeszene werden davon profitieren – hier treffen Know-how und Professionalität auf Innovationsgeist und Beständigkeit.“

„Natürlich sind auch wir hoch erfreut, dass wir den nächsten Entwicklungsschritt der Neonyt intensiv begleiten und unterstützen dürfen. Dies bedeutet gleichzeitig auch eine zusätzliche Stärkung des Modestandortes Düsseldorf und zeigt zudem auf, welche Wertschätzung die Igedo Company auch in ihrem 73-jährigen Bestehungsjahr in der Branche unbestritten genießt. Nun heißt es Ärmel hochkrempeln und mit aller Kraft gemeinsam die nächsten Ziele der Neonyt hier in Düsseldorf erreichen“, so Ulrike Kähler (Managing Director) und Philipp Kronen (Managing Partner) von der Igedo Company in ihrem gemeinsamen Statement zu dieser spannenden Entwicklung in der Modemessenlandschaft.

Frankfurt offen für weiteres D2C-Format „Neonyt Lab“
Der Erfolg, den Besucher*innen aus 22 Ländern, dem ersten Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) Event „Neonyt Lab“ im Juni 2022 bescheinigten, stimmt die Messe Frankfurt positiv für weitere solcher Veranstaltungen an ihrem Heimatstandort. Die Internationalisierung der Marke und die künftige B2B-Präsenz der Neonyt in Düsseldorf hätten keinesfalls ein ausbleibendes Engagement in Frankfurt zur Folge: Die Millionenmetropole am Main mit ihrer lokalen Mode- und Designwirtschaft und zahlreichen Kreativzentren und Sustainability-Movements eigne sich hervorragend, um dem Metathema Nachhaltigkeit einen kollektiven Schub zu verleihen und Endkonsument*innen direkt in den Fashion-Diskurs einzubinden, so die Messegesellschaft.

Das Konferenzformat Fashionsustain soll konzeptionell weiterentwickelt und internationalisiert werden. Nächster Termin für die Fashionsustain ist parallel zu den Fashn Rooms in Düsseldorf im Januar 2023. Die Messe Frankfurt plant weitere internationale Spin-offs der Konferenz. Die Fashionsustain fand in der Vergangenheit bereits mehrmals erfolgreich im Ausland statt: 2018 auf der Texworld Paris und im darauffolgenden Jahr eröffneten die Spin-offs der Konferenz in New York zur Texworld USA & Apparel Sourcing USA, in Los Angeles, parallel zum LA Fashion Festival, und in Shanghai, während der Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics die Nachhaltigkeitsdiskussion. Aktivitäten, die aufgrund der Corona-Pandemie ausgesetzt werden musste. Nun nimmt die Messe Frankfurt die internationalen Bestrebungen der Konferenz erneut auf.

“Over the years, Intertextile has been evolving from a traditional trade fair to an immersive and interactive experience that inspires and engages attendees. Today, the fair is more than a business platform; it also delivers state-of-the-art home trends, valuable networking opportunities, as well as innovative and strategic solutions for brand development through a series of fringe programme events,” Ms Wen further explained.
 
As one of the selected exhibitors featured in the Talks & Tours series at the 2019 fair, Mr Thomas Luys, Sales Manager of LIBECO-LAGAE: “We had quite a diverse range of visitors, including an increase in e-commerce buyers, but also more traditional upholstery fabrics buyers. Our booth was also part of the Talks & Tours, so it was important to tell our story to a diverse range of visitors on this tour.”
