VIEW Premium Selection presents some 300 pre-collections

The earliest material and trend information for Spring.Summer 2024 will be provided by the VIEW Premium Selection on 29 and 30 November 2022 at the MVG Museum in Munich. Around 300 pre-collections from international producers will provide information about the new material developments and colours for summer – including numerous newcomers and returnees.

Munich, 17 November 2022: First insights, first new materials and trend highlights: On 29 and 30 November 2022, the European premium fabric sector will meet for an important exchange with international producers at VIEW in Munich to find out about the first colour and material trends for spring/summer 2024 at the earliest possible time. A selected range of around 300 pre-collections will be on show at the MVG Museum. This means that VIEW will once again be strong and business-relevant this season.

The past VIEW Premium Selection in June 2022 was a great success. Completely booked out and more international than ever, the Preview Textile Show of Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH was an important contact point for the buying and design teams of companies such as Akris, Baldessarini, Bogner, Calvin Klein, Cinque, Comma, Drykorn, Escada, Hugo Boss, Lala Berlin, Lagerfeld, Laurél, MAC, Marc Cain, Marc O'Polo, Riani, Schumacher or Strellson. The trend towards an increasingly international range continues in November. Numerous buyers, designers and product managers from European ready-to-wear manufacturers are expected in Munich the week after next, looking for new material innovations and trends at VIEW and the parallel ISPO.

„The earliest possible colour and material information, the latest developments and trends for an accurate statement of the main collections, NOS planning, intermediate collections, repeat orders or final order possibilities – for the premium segment as well as for sports and denim collections, the middle market or the entry price segment – with the VIEW we offer the greatest possible flexibility with regard to Spring.Summer 2024 and the optimum presentation possibility for every target group.”

This applies equally to apparel manufacturing and to the processing of technical textiles and high-performance materials. As a result, modernisation initiatives are assessed more carefully – even as the need to upgrade production systems continues to intensify.
