SHIMA SEIKI presents WHOLEGARMENT® knitting at Pitti Filati

SHIMA SEIKI ITALIA S.p.A., Italian subsidiary of leading Japanese computerized knitting solutions provider SHIMA SEIKI MFG., LTD., will exhibit at the 92nd edition of the Pitti Immagine Filati exhibition in Florence, Italy. Products exhibited will include the new SWG-XR®154 and N.SVR®183 computerized flat knitting machines as well as APEXFiz® design software.

SHIMA SEIKI ITALIA S.p.A., Italian subsidiary of leading Japanese computerized knitting solutions provider SHIMA SEIKI MFG., LTD., will exhibit at the 92nd edition of the Pitti Immagine Filati exhibition in Florence, Italy. Products exhibited will include the new SWG-XR®154 and N.SVR®183 computerized flat knitting machines as well as APEXFiz® design software.

As pioneer of seam-free WHOLEGARMENT® knitting, SHIMA SEIKI has been setting the standard almost exclusively with nearly 30 years of experience in complete garment technology. Now that benchmark has been raised once again with its new SWG-XR® flagship WHOLEGARMENT® knitting machine. SWG-XR® features 4 needle beds for all-needle knitting of high quality WHOLEGARMENT® products using the company's original SlideNeedle®. SWG-XR® features a renewed sinker system and a compact, light-weight carriage featuring 4 systems as well as auto yarn carriers. All contribute to increased productivity of more than 25% over the previous MACH2®XS machine, as well as increased product range using a wider variety of yarn for supporting knits for all seasons, and higher quality for knitting beautiful fabrics and silhouettes; even items that were impossible to knit with the MACH2® series. SWG-XR® sets new standards for the next generation of waste-free, sustainable WHOLEGARMENT® knitting.

A new proposal in WHOLEGARMENT® knitting will also be introduced in the form of the N.SVR®183 WHOLEGARMENT® knitting machine. SHIMA SEIKI's global standard in shaped knitting, the N.SVR® series now features a model for producing WHOLEGARMENT® knitwear using every other needle in ultrafine gauge. N.SVR®183 is equipped with the R2CARRIAGE® system and a compact, lightweight carriage for even higher productivity. Shown in 21G at Pitti Filati 92, N.SVR®183 is the ideal machine for flexible, entry-level WHOLEGARMENT® production, with the versatility to respond to fluctuating market demand.

APEXFiz® subscription-based design software supports the creative side of fashion from planning and design to colorway evaluation, realistic fabric simulation and 3D virtual sampling. Virtual samples are a digitized version of sample making that are accurate enough to be used effectively as prototypes, replacing physical sampling and consequently reducing time, cost and material that otherwise go to waste. APEXFiz® thereby helps to realize sustainability and digitally transform the fashion supply chain.

Trio of textile fairs rescheduled to end of March

In view of the easing of pandemic restriction policies in China, the Spring Editions of Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics, Yarn Expo and Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles have been moved to the new timeslot of 28 – 30 March 2023. This will allow both local and international fairgoers more time to prepare for their participation, with a higher industry turnout now expected at the three fairs. The fairs will still be located at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai where they were originally due to be held from 8 – 10 March.

Discussing the change of dates, Ms Wilmet Shea, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd explained: “After talking to our stakeholders, we believe adjusting the spring show dates to the end of March is the right move. It provides enough time for exhibitors and visitors from local and abroad to plan for the fairs and capitalise on the ample international business opportunities brought by the reopening of China’s border.”

Neonyt wird erstmalig in Paris stattfinden

Die Neonyt wird erstmalig in Paris vom 21. – 23. Januar 2023 stattfinden und von der WSN Développement veranstaltet. Als eine in Europa relevante B2B-Orderplattform für Mode, Nachhaltigkeit und Innovation wird sie internationalen Einkäufer*innen professionell verantwortungsvolle Brands mit textilem Weitblick präsentieren und neue Märkte von Frankreich aus, in Ergänzung zum bestehenden Standort Düsseldorf, erschließen und bedienen. Streng-nachhaltig und nach Design kuratierte Fashion trifft auf Zeitgeist-Gespür für Sustainability, Style und Trends. Zweimal im Jahr, im Januar und September, wird die Neonyt künftig parallel zu der Who's Next und IMPACT verwirklicht.

Im August diesen Jahres wurde die erste Neonyt in Lizenz an die Igedo Exhibitions in Düsseldorf vergeben und findet dort erstmalig vom 28. – 30. Januar 2023 auf dem Areal Böhler statt. Die Messe Frankfurt verkündet nun die Partnerschaft mit dem mode-erfahrenen Messe-Veranstalter WSN Développement aus Paris, der die Neonyt Paris operativ planen und auf dem Paris Expo Porte de Versailles durchführen wird.

Im August diesen Jahres wurde die erste Neonyt in Lizenz an die Igedo Exhibitions in Düsseldorf vergeben und findet dort erstmalig vom 28. – 30. Januar 2023 auf dem Areal Böhler statt. Die Messe Frankfurt verkündet nun die Partnerschaft mit dem mode-erfahrenen Messe-Veranstalter WSN Développement aus Paris, der die Neonyt Paris operativ planen und auf dem Paris Expo Porte de Versailles durchführen wird.

Von Beginn an war es das Ziel der Messe Frankfurt, die Neonyt mit ihrem ohnehin internationalen Charakter, ihrer Verantwortung und ihrer einmaligen Reputation auch über Deutschland hinaus in relevanten Märkten international zu platzieren und damit konsequent neue Zugänge zu verlässlich kuratierter Mode – hinsichtlich strikter Nachhaltigkeitsvorgaben bei gleichzeitiger Berücksichtigung aktueller, modischer Strömungen – zu ermöglichen. Dies sei in diesen Zeiten wichtiger denn je, um den unbestrittenen ökologischen und sozialen Mehrwert nachhaltiger Textilien zum Ausdruck zu bringen und verantwortungsvoller Mode attraktive Präsentationsplattformen in einem professionell-verlässlichen Orderumfeld zu ermöglichen, sagt Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies, Messe Frankfurt.

In Paris wird die Neonyt licensed by Messe Frankfurt zweimal im Jahr Ende Januar sowie Anfang September parallel zur internationalen Who's Next stattfinden. Die Who's Next präsentiert Einkäufer*innen Mode, Accessoires und Lifestyle plus Trends der Saison. In direkter Nachbarschaft zur Neonyt wird sich außerdem die 2019 gestartete IMPACT von WSN befinden. Sie setzt modisch-ökologische Akzente und unterstützt positive Maßnahmen zur Beschleunigung des ökologischen Wandels in der Modebranche. Who's Next und IMPACT ziehen international Einkäufer*innen an – insbesondere aber den Retail aus Frankreich, Italien, Spanien, Portugal, der Schweiz und Belgien. Vor Ort besonders interessant sind für alle Labels auf der Neonyt sowohl Specialty Stores, aber auch Multilable Stores, für die nachhaltige Mode sehr entscheidend ist.

Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies, Messe Frankfurt resümiert: „Zusammen mit der Neonyt in Lizenz in Düsseldorf wird die neue Location Paris eine symbiotische Marktbespielung und -ergänzung unseres Standort-Portfolios darstellen. Wir bieten fortan Einkäufer*innen, den Labels sowie unserer wachsenden und engagierten Community die Möglichkeit, sich Märkte neu zu erschließen und ihre Kund*innenbeziehungen noch stärker zu internationalisieren. Gleichzeitig treiben wir als Messe Frankfurt mit unserem internationalen Texpertise Network – über 50 Events weltweit, ca. 22.000 Aussteller und mehr als eine halbe Million Besucher*innen – intensiv unsere Nachhaltigkeitsbestrebungen im Textilbereich insgesamt voran.“

The declared goal of the organizers is to offer a "one-stop shopping solution" with IFCO that shows the creativity of the Turkish fashion scene, enables access to new sales markets and at the same time establishes the connection to potential production partners for supply chain optimization. The competitive advantages of production in Türkiye are evident:
short delivery times, high production quality, young and well-trained employees, the possibility of small minimum order quantities, a vertical textile and clothing industry that allows "one-stop shopping".

The manufacturing sector is an important sector for the industry, with over 80% of companies in Türkiye engaged in this sector. Türkiye has the fastest economic growth among the G20 after Saudi Arabia at 7.6% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2022, according to the Turkish Statistics Authority. Export is one of the most important pillars of growth.

The trade fair concept is being supported by the government with several programs. These include the cooperation with IMA, Istanbul ModaAkademisi, which regularly produces design talents becoming an integral part of the international fashion scene. IMA was founded in 2007 by ITKIB / IHKIB with the help of the IPA I program ((IPA: Instrument for Pre Accession Funds, provided by the EU for the EU candidate countries). Young design talents are brought to the stage at IFCO in cooperation with the ‘’Koza Young Fashion Designers Contest’’.

  • 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.

INNATEX: Countdown to 50th international trade fair for sustainable textiles

The 50th INNATEX fair opens its gates to a Green Fashion trade audience from 29 to 31 July 2022 in Hofheim-Wallau, near Frankfurt. At this anniversary fair, over 200 labels will be exhibiting, a wide range of experts and organisations will be gathering, and elaborate features and facilities are planned for the Rhein-Main exhibition centre.

According to INNATEX project manager Alexander Hitzel, one highlight is the Community Area, which brings together a range of experts. In short lounge talks, they reveal insights into what they are currently working on and a dialogue format encourages personal discussion. Mirjam Smend, whom we know well from Greenstyle Munich, introduces her recently launched sustainability magazine, Pureviu, and facilitates the morning talks.

Alongside standard bodies such as IVN and GOTS, which have taken part in INNATEX for many years, younger projects such as Fairmodel and the digital platform Retraced will be part of this special area. Fairtrade Germany, Femnet and the VDMD are to be found there too. Almost all of them are joining in with the Ask Me Anything dialouge format. Interested attendees can pre-book a slot of up to ten minutes for a personal discussion with the expert of their choice.

The supportive activities that had to be suspended during the pandemic are enjoying a comeback at this year’s summer fair: five newcomers to INNATEX designated DesignDiscoveries will be presenting their projects in another special area. Vegtus, from Barcelona, produces sneakers and other products from cactus leather. Natural textiles such as organic cotton are used by Lounge Cherie, a yoga fashion label.

Products for kids through to seniors, classics and streetwear, footwear and accessories
Nordlicht similarly relies on recyclable, renewable natural fibres for its outerwear, bags and accessories. The field of circular fashion is also served by the remaining two Design Discoveries. Both Nature is Future, with its handmade sneakers, and Freibeutler, with its functional rucksacks, make extensive use of recycled materials, while also paying due attention to broader sustainability aspects.

Regular INNATEX exhibitors include Lana, Chapati and Didymos, all of whom are also celebrating anniversaries. Labels such as Anokho with their colourful accessories in jacquard fabrics and Danish label Angel Circle with its plus-size fashion are exhibiting for the first time.

“Restart was a statement!”
“It's been quite a rodeo ride putting together two B2B trade shows, one D2C festival, three conferences, parties, dinners and receptions for so many different audiences and all while the pandemic continues in full swing – barring the rain and flight chaos. I would have wished that even more visitors would have come, but overall the restart was much better than expected. It was definitely an announcement." Anita Tillmann, Managing Partner Premium Group

New togetherness, new exchange, new ideas
With the premiere of the festival for style & culture, The Ground, young consumers and Berlin communities from GenZ and GenY were part of the Premium Group event cosmos for the first time. Almost 6000 fashion enthusiasts and trade visitors came together at The Ground. Exciting conversations, interactive fire moments and cool shows created a special vibe in and around the Palais am Funkturm. The focus was on young target groups wearing, feeling and thinking. How brands can reach young customers, communicate with them and build trust and much more.

New community through 'Larger than Life Ball'
On Saturday, the day with the most visitors at The Ground, the spectacular ballroom event, the Larger than Life Ball, curated by The House of Gorgeous Gucci in the summer garden of the Palais, caused enthusiasm.

Neonyt Lab: Gemeinsam für eine nachhaltigere Fashion-Industrie

„Nachhaltige Mode macht einen Unterschied. Wir machen einen Unterschied!“ – das waren zwei der wichtigsten Botschaften, die die Community des Neonyt Lab nach drei bunten Veranstaltungstagen unter dem Motto „New Patterns“ in der Union Halle in Frankfurt am Main mitgenommen hat. Die Premiere des Direct to Consumer-Formats besuchten Designer*innen, Aktivist*innen, Konsument*innen und Content Creator*innen sowie Vertreter*innen aus der Modeindustrie aus 22 Ländern.

„Nachhaltige Mode macht einen Unterschied. Wir machen einen Unterschied!“ – das waren zwei der wichtigsten Botschaften, die die Community des Neonyt Lab nach drei bunten Veranstaltungstagen unter dem Motto „New Patterns“ in der Union Halle in Frankfurt am Main mitgenommen hat. Die Premiere des Direct to Consumer-Formats besuchten Designer*innen, Aktivist*innen, Konsument*innen und Content Creator*innen sowie Vertreter*innen aus der Modeindustrie aus 22 Ländern.

Am 26. Juni ging das erste Neonyt Lab in Frankfurt am Main zu Ende. Wie in einem Labor konnte man von Freitag, den 24. Juni bis Sonntag in der Union Halle in Frankfurt am Main mit nachhaltiger Mode experimentieren: Sustainable Fashion Styles zusammenstellen und direkt kaufen, in die Nachhaltigkeitsdiskussion eintauchen, sich informieren und vernetzen oder mitmachen und sich mit vielen guten Ideen einbringen. Das Konzept des Neonyt Lab, sich auch für Verbraucher*innen zu öffnen, war neu: Die nachhaltige Fashion-Szene aus insgesamt 22 Ländern, u.a. Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz, Spanien, Polen, Dänemark, war anwesend. Auf einer Ausstellungs- und Shopping-Fläche von 1.000 m² mit mehr als 30 nachhaltigen Fashion-, Beauty- und Lifestyle-Brands sowie einem umfassenden Event- und Talkprogramm wurde an den drei Veranstaltungstagen viel geboten. Unterstützt wurde des Neonyt Lab von Engagement Global und Oeko-Tex.

Wichtiger Impulsgeber und von den Besucher*innen stark frequentiert waren die zahlreichen Diskussionsrunden, Interviews und Workshops der Fashionsustain, das Konferenzformat des Neonyt Lab. Ein Höhepunkt war die Auszeichnung von Michael Spitzbarth, Founder & CEO von Bleed, als Designer des Jahres für nachhaltige Kollektionen. Der Nachhaltigkeitsaward wird vom VDMD – Netzwerk Deutscher Mode- und Textil-Designer – an Designer*innen verliehen, die sich mit ihren Entwürfen und Kollektionen dem Thema Nachhaltigkeit ganzheitlich verschrieben haben.

Neonyt Fashion Show mit dem Thema "Biosphere-Technosphere" als multimediale Show

Am 23. Juni wurde das Atelier Lihotzky im Frankfurter Ostend Schauplatz einer Symbiose von Natur und Technik. Die Neonyt Fashion Show thematisierte mit „Biosphere-Technosphere“ das Zusammenspiel von Mensch und Umwelt; die Elemente Wasser, Luft und Erde im Clash mit unserer industrialisierten, digitalisierten Welt. In 31 Multibrand-Looks und einem multimedialen Runway zeigten rund 50 Brands die Zukunft der (nachhaltigen) Mode.

Der Fokus der Neonyt Fashion Show lag auf der Verbindung von Natur und ihren Elementen Wasser, Luft und Erde mit allem, was Menschen erschaffen – von Infrastruktur über Architektur, der industriellen Landwirtschaft und der digitalen Welt. Die Kombination dieser scheinbar kontroversen Themen spannte den Bogen zu unserem gegenwärtigen Erdzeitalter, dem Anthropozän, in dem der Mensch zu einem der wichtigsten Einflussfaktoren auf die biologischen, geologischen und atmosphärischen Vorgänge auf der Erde geworden ist.

Der Fokus der Neonyt Fashion Show lag auf der Verbindung von Natur und ihren Elementen Wasser, Luft und Erde mit allem, was Menschen erschaffen – von Infrastruktur über Architektur, der industriellen Landwirtschaft und der digitalen Welt. Die Kombination dieser scheinbar kontroversen Themen spannte den Bogen zu unserem gegenwärtigen Erdzeitalter, dem Anthropozän, in dem der Mensch zu einem der wichtigsten Einflussfaktoren auf die biologischen, geologischen und atmosphärischen Vorgänge auf der Erde geworden ist.

Neue Dimensionen und regenerative Systeme
Die Biosphäre wurde vor allem durch die Silhouetten und Strukturen in den Looks repräsentiert, wie auch durch die organischen und regenerativen Materialien, aus denen ein Großteil der Kollektionsteile gefertigt wurde. So werden auf der Neonyt Fashion Show biologisch angebaute oder nachhaltigere regenerative Materialien zugelassen, die dazu beitragen, wertvolle Ressourcen wie sauberes Wasser, Energie und Land zu schützen und damit zu einem gesunden Ökosystem beitragen.

Die Technosphäre, zu der qua Definition auch die Menschen gehören, wurde in der Inszenierung über die Verschmelzung von der digitalen Welt mit der realen Welt über große LED Screens dargestellt, auf denen digitaler Content sowie Close-ups und Überblendungen der gezeigten Looks zu sehen waren. In den Kollektionen manifestiert sich die Technosphäre in den Themen Recycling bzw. recycelte Chemiefasern, sauberer Chemikalieneinsatz oder im technischen Kreislauf des Cradle2Cradle-Konzepts. Visuell stellte sich die Technosphäre in glänzenden und reflektierenden Oberflächen dar sowie in Sportswear- und Outdoor Styles.

Insgesamt zeigten ca. 50 Brands in 31 Looks eine Bandbreite von etablierten Marken und upcoming Avantgarde Brands: Ai Komoto, Akjumii, Andy Wolf, Anna Auras, Antje Pugnat, Arys, Ayede, Catalouge of Disguise by Tanja Bombach, Céline Breton, Chika Takahashi, Clean Waves, Damur, Ecoalf, Fade Out Label, Falke, Florentina Leitner, Good Guys Don’t Wear Leather, Hell Hell Studio, KC Dubbick, Lanius, Laura Gerte, Maison Baum, Maximilian Mogg, MCM x Selassie, Muntinøus by Pino Pipoli, Myfassbender, Nat-2, Neubau, Nightboutique, PB 0110, Plas Collective, Pool Berlin, Provincia Studio, Save the Duck x Edward Crutchley, Souvenir Official x Ajobyajo, Spaccio Maglieria, Spatz Hutdesign, Timberland, Tiziano Guardini, Tizz & Tonic, Trakatan, Tribal Hotel, Trippen, Tuuli-Tytti Koivula, Uncommon Matters, Virginia Evangelista, Virón, Vitelli, Vladimir Karaleev und Wunderwerk.

Zum Publikum zählten Personen aus Wirtschaft und Politik sowie Industrie-Insider*innen aus der Mode- und Nachhaltigkeitsbranche. Einkäufer*innen, Designer*innen, Künstler*innen waren gleichermaßen anwesend wie (inter-)nationale Fachpresse, Tageszeitungen, Modezeitschriften, Content Creator*innen, TV und Hörfunk. Auch waren Aktivist*innen von Fashion Revolution und Vertreter*innen des Fashion Impact Fund vor Ort.

Neonyt zeigt progressive Looks unter dem Motto „Biosphere-Technosphere“

Mode inspiriert von Natur und Technologie: In einer exklusiven Fashion Show am 23. Juni 2022 zeigt die Neonyt gemeinsam mit Presenting Partner Dr. Hauschka progressive und trendweisende Looks unter dem Motto „Biosphere-Technosphere“ im Atelier Lihotzky im Frankfurter Ostend.

Der Fokus liegt damit auf der Verbindung der Natur mit den Elementen Wasser, Luft und Erde mit allem, was die Menschen erschaffen – von Infrastruktur über Architektur, die industrielle Landwirtschaft und die digitale Welt.

Natur vs. Technik
Bei der Neonyt Fashion Show werden verschiedene Multibrand-Looks inszeniert – von kleinen unabhängigen Brands und Newcomer-Labeln über international etablierte Marken bis hin zu Designerstücken, kuratiert von der Stylistin Claudia Hofmann. Der Themenkomplex Biosphere präsentiert Mode und Textilien in Anlehnung an die Natur und ihre Elemente, Technosphere spiegelt die Themen Kreislaufwirtschaft und Recycling.

Das Beste aus beiden Welten
Unter dem Titel „Biosphere-Technosphere“ werden in der Neonyt Fashion Show Themen verbunden, die auf den ersten Blick gegensätzlich scheinen und damit Fragen aufwerfen. Das Publikum wird dazu eingeladen, sich auf eine Reise zu begeben, in der die Natur der Erde, ihre Elemente und die daraus resultierenden regenerativen Ansätze mit Ideen der digitalen Welt kombiniert werden, sodass daraus neue Dimensionen und vernetzte Systeme entstehen – für eine Revolution der Modebranche. Das Event wird gemeinsam mit Naturkosmetik-Brand und Presenting Partner Dr. Hauschka umgesetzt. Die Creative Direction liegt bei studio MM04.

More than fashion: 360-degree inspiration at The Ground Festival
At The Ground, industry professionals meet young enthusiasts to inspire each other and discover new worlds.

In the name of peace and unity: The Ground Festival opened by #FashionUnites Parade
On 7 July, the first The Ground Festival will open with a colourful parade through the capital.

Accompanied by a Berlin DJ, everyone is invited to take part in the parade and can register here and thus also receive free access to The Ground on the first day of the festival.

High-profile charity campaign: The Ground launches 'MUST-HAVE PEACE Merch Collection'
Due to the ongoing war situation in Ukraine, the makers behind The Ground have launched a charity campaign: the MUST-HAVE PEACE Merch Collection. In this exclusive collaboration, players and brands such as Closed, Drykorn, Eastpak, Lala Berlin, Lee and others design one piece of merch each (denim jackets, shirts, shorts, bags) that can be bought during The Ground Festival.

New brand worlds at PREMIUM
This July, PREMIUM will be divided into three sections for the first time: High, Icon and Volume. High is the new home for brands that operate in the market above the premium segment. These include Lala Berlin, Nove, Helene Galwas and Jane Kønig. Icon covers the classic premium segment from Strellson and Seidensticker to Mos Mosh and Denham to Young Poets Society and Fabienne Chapot, and Volume is the new area for commercially successful brands that approach premium from the middle of the market. Here you will find brands like Gerry Weber, Mexx, Pierre Cardin or Miracle of Denim.

Nachhaltigkeit in der Mode umfasst viele Aspekte: Das reicht vom Einsatz umweltfreundlicher Materialien über die Einhaltung sozialer und ökologischer Standards bei der Produktion bis hin zum Verzicht auf tierische Bestandteile. Es geht darum, mit dem Planeten, Menschen und Tieren respektvoll und fair umzugehen. Konkret bedeutet das für eine reguläre B2B-Neonyt, dass interessierte Aussteller*innen in einem mehrseitigen Fragebogen konkrete Angaben zu ökologischen und sozialen Aspekten ihrer Nachhaltigkeit machen und diese transparent beispielweise durch Zertifikate wie Bluesign, GOTS, Fairtrade oder Oeko Tex Made in Green sowie Multi-Stakeholder*innen-Programme oder über andere verifizierende Dokumente belegen müssen. Auch werden Angaben zu ihrem CO2- und Wasserfußabdruck, zu ihrer Liefer- und Wertschöpfungskette sowie Angaben zur Ressourceneffizienz und innovativen Produktionszyklen abgefragt. Nur wessen (auszustellende) Produkte oder Kollektionen mindestens 70% der Anforderungen erreichen, darf auf der Neonyt ausstellen.
 
Für die D2C-Veranstaltung im Sommer, das Neonyt Lab, übernimmt der Kooperationspartner Greenstyle die Kuratierung der ausstellenden Brands autark und setzt eigene Teilnahme- und Nachhaltigkeitskriterien an.

İTHİB President Ahmet Öksüz: "Our exhibition platforms Texhibition Istanbul Fabric and Textile Accessories Fair and IFCO, Istanbul Fashion Connection, which was launched by our sister association IHKIB in February, play an important role in making Istanbul the fashion center of the Turkish textile and clothing industry.

On offer were high-quality and innovative fabrics from the weaving sector, including Kipaş Textiles, BTD Textile, Özdoku, Bossa and Yünsa; knitters like Gülle, Saka, Örkumod or İskur showed their current collections; yarn market leaders such as Korteks, Tepa and Gama were present, as were Şimşek Ege, EMR Zippers, Çağ-Tek and Öz-El Lastik for the accessories sector. A total of 166 exhibiting companies presented themselves in clearly structured segments in a professional trade fair atmosphere.

Frame program
