Bluezone Goes Back to School with Education-Themed Event
Munich Fabric Start’s Bluezone show is back later this month. And just in time for back-to-school season, the trade show will immerse attendees in a campus-themed environment.
From Aug. 30-31, the event will feature a Denim Campus full of the latest trends. There will be opportunities to exchange ideas and learn. This edition marks Bluezone’s first collaboration with Transformers Foundation for a series of seminars on sustainability, which will be held in the Lecture Forum at Munich Fabric Start’s Keyhouse area. For further learning, Bluezone will also host presentations and panel discussions in the show’s Seminar Zone.
Another focus for the show is the future. An Orta x Bluezone Blueskyer NFT Hackathon, in collaboration with university TUM Munich and Web3 firm Pretzel DAO, will give attendees the chance to create their own NFTs.
During Bluezone, the Lenzing denim team will be celebrating TENCEL™’s 30th anniversary. We’ll be looking back on some of our favorite garments from commercial and capsule collections.
We’ll also be previewing the 2022 edition of the Circle Book at our booth. A seminar on Aug. 31 will dive into the collection with speakers from Lenzing, Meidea, Officina+39, Tejidos Royo and Ereks.
Visitors to the show can see how mills from around the globe—including Advance Denim, Azgard9, Bossa, Calik, DNM Denim, Kipas Denim, Naveena Denim Ltd., Naveena Denim Mills, Panther Denim and more—are using TENCEL™ lyocell in their collections. For instance, Naveena Denim Ltd.’s Natural Stretch uses weaving techniques to achieve stretch with fully biodegradable fibers like cotton and TENCEL™. Siddiqsons’ Good Natured collection blends TENCEL™, REFIBRA™ Technology, Ciclo and other fibers to reduce the reliance on cotton.
Bluezone will also be the stage for the second edition of our Blue Lenz Video Awards. Check out who’s been nominated, and watch to see who wins during our ceremony on Aug. 31 at 2 p.m. CET.
We can’t wait to see the denim community in Munich for what is sure to be an inspiring and informative event.
