The fabric and accessories trade show Munich Fabric Start will host a feature called Munich Apparel Source. Munich Apparel Source is based on the assumption that apparel production and sourcing cannot be considered separately any longer. Since the textile and fashion industry’s requirements in terms of manufacturing processes and sourcing are increasingly sophisticated, as well as highly complex from the logistics point of view, a synergy between Munich Fabric Start and a show like Munich Apparel Source, focusing on production and the supply chain, was felt to be necessary.

Munich Apparel Source will showcase the products and services of some 200 specialists in production and sourcing from North Africa, Asia and Europe, and will also feature a series of seminars and analyses of industry case studies. Both trade shows will be held together in Germany from, September 5 to 7, 2017.

Stability, reliability and continuity have helped Munich Fabric Start’s steady growth. The edition held early this year communicated great energy to visitors and insiders with a series of seminars and events and a pool of innovative ideas and products. The Bluezone area - with refreshed trend areas and booths – registered a lively attendance. The Catalyst and Keyhouse – confirming their focus on high-quality manufacturers, mostly from Europe – also attracted attention from denim and fashion insiders.
