Fabric Start organisers rethink December show
Instead, they will concentrate on the Fabric Days event in late January, which they are “confident” will go ahead.
Sebastian Klinder, managing director of Munich Fabric Start, said: “The decision to cancel the View Preview trade fair is a difficult one, however it must be based on our sense of safety and responsibility. After all, there are only a few weeks left until the beginning of December – a very short time in which the risk cannot be sufficiently assessed based on rates on infection to continue planning View.
“We have reached a point where we should reduce our travel and social contacts to a minimum – at least for the time being with the option to resume again in the coming weeks.“
Fabric Days – a condensed version of the usual Fabric Start show – will take place from 26 - 28 January 2021. The first edition of Fabric Days was held in September and was hailed a success.
