Our support programme for newcomers
and labels exhibiting for the first time at INNATEX!
Newcomers and innovative green fashion labels exhibiting for the first time can now apply for our funding program again!
Support for Newcomer-Labels: The DESIGN DISCOVERIES programme offers up to ten young, innovative designers and labels, as well as established businesses, the opportunity to present themselves to the INNATEX trade audience. A jury will select from all applicants the best ideas with creative, sustainable approaches. This special area has for many years generated interest among buyers and the media.
Your label’s mission is green: the INNATEX ordering fair will be presenting only labels whose vision is to make the world of fashion a little fairer and more environmentally friendly. Whether it’s menswear or womenswear in natural textiles, bags or shoes made from innovative materials, jewellery from recycled materials, or projects that support traditional handcraft – with its enormous bandwidth of labels and exhibitors, INNATEX is the largest international business trade fair for Green Fashion. New discoveries are part of this and they enrich the entire sector.

A few DESIGN DISCOVERIES from the past years:
Last winter’s DESIGN DISCOVERIES (X53):
C/OVER: sporty knit chic This Munich label is a real discovery because we think it is extraordinarily creative in terms of production and design. Seamless and without textile waste, crazy flexible and therefore size-inclusive, modern, sporty and elegant at the same time - that's how we would describe the zero-waste black dress from C/OVER.
Anfisa Roumelidi: Fusion Fashion Borderlessness does not necessarily mean homelessness; cultural and historical identity and integration can very well go hand in hand – as Anfisa Roumelidi proves. The graduate of the AMD University of Applied Sciences for Fashion and Design combines hand-woven fabrics from historical costumes with modern offcuts. The design language of the ancestors meets outdoor fashion, traditional costume meets anorak. The result is a manifesto for diversity in the form of multifunctional streetwear under the name Anfisa Roumelidi.
Consci: Vegan when traveling Consci combines timeless, elegant design with visibly first-class workmanship and functionality. We were particularly taken with the Travel Line – not only because of the impressive weekender, but also because traveling and sustainability need to be considered together.
