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.

The trend towards an increasingly international range continues in November.

„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.”
