Digital summer season: Neonyt brings sustainability to streaming line-up of new Frankfurt Fashion Week Studio

While trade fairs, events and catwalk shows are all on hold, digital formats are continuing to keep us up to date. The ongoing health risks and the latest decisions made by the German government regarding COVID-19 unfortunately make it impossible to hold the physical debut of Frankfurt Fashion Week from 5 to 9 July 2021. And so it’s now official: there will be no face-to-face event for the Neonyt community this summer. In the meantime, the new FFW Studio will become the digital meeting place for all fashion professionals.

Neonyt is going back “on air” – No physical winter edition in January 2021

The ongoing, difficult situation surrounding COVID-19 and the latest decisions made by the German government are once again making it impossible to plan Neonyt – and as a result, the physical event, from 19-21 January 2021, will no longer be taking place. A small consolation: the digital community format “Neonyt On Air” will be entering into its second round instead.

Collaboration is key: Neonyt joins forces with B2B online marketplaces for summer

An increase in exhibitor numbers, twice as many professional visitors and the topic of sustainability more present than ever before – that was the résumé of Neonyt in January.

And now it is clear that a virtual edition of Neonyt will not be taking place in summer either.

The people behind the masks

In the global fight against the coronavirus, the year 2020 has so far been defined by four simple but important rules: stay at home, wash your hands, keep a distance in public spaces and wear a mask. While other regulations such as strict lockdown measures are currently being eased, the wearing of protective masks is meanwhile compulsory in many countries, including Germany – at least when shopping or travelling on public transport. And the fashionable aspect of the masks is playing a role too.
