The international roll-out is top class: to be launched in Paris as a preview edition, Neonyt licensed by Messe Frankfurt will open its doors for the first time outside Germany from 21 to 23 January 2023, and be organised by the renowned WSN Développement. As Europe’s most relevant B2B order platform for fashion, sustainability and innovation, Neonyt will present professionally responsible brands with broad textile horizons to international buyers, and open up and serve new markets from France alongside the existing location in Düsseldorf.

With the extensive S/S sourcing event taking place from 8 – 10 March 2023, the organisers are pleased with the number of quality exhibitors that have already signed up. “Several key indicators are pointing towards market recovery, and the early commitment of some of the international textile industry’s key players is another promising sign. As an important platform for the sector to showcase its latest innovations, we expect the business-friendly nature of the fair to further support the market’s revival,� commented Ms Wilmet Shea, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd.

Just in time for the holidays, Mey GmbH & Co. KG, the global manufacturer of underwear, nightwear and lingerie based in Germany, is launching the world’s first men’s nightwear worldwide with CELLIANT® Viscose, which converts body heat into infrared energy. CELLIANT Viscose is a unique combination of nature and performance. It was developed by materials science leader Hologenix®, creators of CELLIANT, a textile-based infrared ingredient brand, and Kelheim Fibres, the leading manufacturer of viscose specialty fibers.

Under the motto: "New Perspectives on Sports", the world's leading sports trade fair offered a host of product innovations, a prominent conference program and many well-known athletes as guests from November 28 to 30. 1,700 international exhibitors and around 40,000 trade visitors from 117 countries celebrated a successful reunion of the sports community with the restart of ISPO Munich at the Munich exhibition center.
