Frankfurt Fashion Week will only partially take place physically in January. The fashion week fairs will be postponed.
As in July, the current Corona situation at Frankfurt Fashion Week is thwarting the bill. The pandemic and resolutions by the federal and state governments only allow part of the Frankfurt Fashion Week to take place physically, the organizers Messe Frankfurt and Premium Group announced on Wednesday. Showcases, vernissages, installations and exhibitions are currently possible with concepts such as 2G and 2G +. Conferences, talks and panels are to be partially implemented in a reduced, hybrid form.
Trade fairs postponed to July
However, it is not possible to hold the trade fairs. Therefore, the events of Messe Frankfurt Neonyt and Val: ue as well as the formats of the Premium Group Premium and Seek, the fashion festival The Ground and the Fashiontech conference have been postponed to July.
For the existing physical events of the Frankfurt Fashion Week – from January 17th to 21st – the organizers are planning to offer a selected program with personal meeting formats in a corona-compliant framework, according to Frankfurt.
“We sense the industry’s strong need for personal encounters. We are therefore convinced that with the showcases, events and conferences that we will hold in January on the occasion of Frankfurt Fashion Week to the extent that it will then be corona-compliant, we will send a positive signal of departure from Frankfurt, “said Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles and Textile Technologies at Messe Frankfurt.
The Munich Fabric Start trade fair, which was planned for January 25-27, was canceled on Tuesday. Also the March edition of the end consumer event
About You Fashion Week of the online retailer About You has been canceled.
