Bluezone moves to May
After “extensive consideration”, the organisers of Munich-based denim show Bluezone have cancelled the January edition of the show and moved it to May 3 and 4.

It said the potential for a new lockdown in Germany with a possible event ban imposed at very short notice and additional travel restrictions have been key considerations.

Sebastian Klinder, managing director of sister show Fabric Start, said: “As a trade show organiser, we bear a very far-reaching social responsibility in addition to the big economic risk. The current developments are gradually taking the basis for our actions: we currently have neither room for manoeuvre nor planning security. 

“This is why we, with a very heavy heart, have no other option but to cancel the next Munich Fabric Start. At the same time, we see a great opportunity to offer the denim and innovation segment a physical platform on the Zenith grounds in Munich from 3 - 4 May 2022. This opportunity arises from the unique seasonal rhythm of the denim and innovation segment. With currently more than 90 premium denim mills, we are in a strong position and are very pleased with the enormous response."
