The future is now: The FASHIONTEX Festival puts the fashion and textile industry centre stage. It brings together companies, start-ups, students, researchers, lecturers from eleven universities and fashion enthusiasts. For two days, the focus is on innovative trends in fashion and textile design in the age of digitalisation. Participants from all over Europe will present their innovative projects and products. Various workshops, conferences and a spectacular catwalk show offer a platform for exchange and inspiration, for which Chemnitz, as a historic textile centre with a centuries-old tradition, provides the basis.
