Shopping, styling, knowledge and action. Everyone who is interested in sustainability and fashion and wants to shape the change towards a sustainable fashion world together under the motto "New patterns" is invited: to the first Neonyt Lab. From Friday, June 24, to Sunday, June 26. More than 30 sustainable fashion, lifestyle and knowledge brands await you in the Union Halle in Frankfurt am Main. You will be offered three days full of inspiration and knowledge, with international speakers on the Fashionsustain conference stage, as well as numerous events and hands-on activities. Best of all, tickets are free.
On Friday at 2 pm, the Union Halle in Frankfurt opens its doors. On an exhibition and shopping area of 1,000 m², more than 30 sustainable fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands show their styles for the summer. Local players such as Alexandra Svendsen, Frisch Beutel and Helena Harfst will be there, as well as brands from all over Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland, including Akjumii, Alicia Victoria, Amaran Creative, Angels Ambition, Belle Ikat, BenecosBio, Clothesfriends, Fairnica, Frijda Juni, Lana, Lanius, Make Somebody Happy, Martin Guthmann, Melina Bucher, Montreet, Natyoural, Nikin, Nina Rein, Oscalito, Refished Fair Fashion, Seads, The Bad Seeds Company, Viktoria Moser, Vretena, Widda and Wildling Shoes.
In the "Greenstyle the store" space, you can buy sustainable fashion, shoes, accessories and beauty products curated according to Greenstyle's sustainability criteria directly. Whether 3-in-1 coats by Akjumii, vegetable-tanned leather bags and purses by Alexandra Svendsen, blouses and dresses inspired by Ukrainian craftsmanship by Belle Ikat, certified natural and organic cosmetics by Benecos, nature-inspired outdoor fashion by Nikin, sustainable, plastic-free business wear by Nina Rein, espadrilles, slip-ons and sneakers made from ocean plastic by Seads or comfortable glamour high heels and flats by Viktoria Moser - there's something for every occasion at "Greenstyle the store."
On the Fashionsustain stage there will be a knowledge boost on three days. After the official opening by Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies Messe Frankfurt, Kerry Bannigan (Fashion Impact Fund), Safia Minney (Fashion Declares) Henning Siedentopp (mela wear) and Juliane Ziegler (Global Organic Textiles Standard) will kick things off on the panel. They will discuss the topic "Fashion and the SDGs. How can the fashion industry contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals?". Whether interviews with fair fashion brands or workshops with textile seal providers such as Oeko-Tex and GOTS at the Knowledge Lounge - interested parties can obtain comprehensive information, join in the discussion and take away impulses.
It is not for nothing that the motto of the Neonyt Lab is "New patterns". Changing something is best done together. And the more you know, the better and more targeted you can be. Numerous tips on what everyone can do concretely for a more sustainable closet are also presented by the NGO Engagement Global at its 17Goals Mobile together with the Supporting Partner Frankfurt Fashion Movement. And quite impressively: on Frankfurt's largest "TU DU" wall.
