#Textiles & Apparel / Garment

Cancellation of VIEW Premium Selection from 30/11 - 01/12/2021

Until this day, the organisers of the VIEW Premium Selection were on the final spurt to the realisation of the Preview Textile Show. The goal of being able to realise a fully booked trade show with a portfolio at pre- pandemic level in the current situation seemed within reach.

The political regulations in Bavaria of 19/11/2021 and the associated, strongly limiting conditions for events starting from an incidence of 1000 have far-reaching consequences for the VIEW Premium Selection. Due to the currently strong increase in the infection rates in Munich, the Preview Textile Show planned for 30/11 - 01/12/2021 must now be canceled as a precaution.

All organisers have to continuously monitor the situation and evaluate realistically: the new measures are expected to come into force in Munich in the coming days, which would lead to very short notice changes. Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH therefore feels its responsibility to offer all those involved a planning security at the earliest possible time.

“Up to the last moment, we tried to make everything possible and believed in being able to set a positive example again with the realisation of the VIEW Premium Selection. We have fulfilled the requirements, adapted our hygiene concept several times to the dynamically changing measures and took the necessary precautions for a safe event. In short, we were ready for the final countdown - ready to welcome the textile industry back to Munich! Especially because of the great support from the industry and the high demand for VIEW, we now deeply regret the circumstances and the short-term cancellation, but the health and safety of all show participants always comes first."

Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director Munich Fabric Start




Special thanks from the organisers go to the 300 suppliers for their great trust, support and loyalty, because a fully booked VIEW and a currently extremely well booked MUNICH FABRIC START and BLUEZONE are an outstanding sign in the current exceptional situation.

Now the organisers are fully focused on realising the MUNICH FABRIC START Spring.Summer 23 from 25/01 - 27/01/2022 and the BLUEZONE from 25/01 - 26/01/2022 as Covid-19 compliant physical trade shows in Munich.
