Neonyt licensed by Messe Frankfurt will open its doors for the first time outside Germany from January 21 to 23, 2023, in Paris, and be managed by Wsn Développement, the company led by Frédéric Maus and organizer of the Who's Next fashion show. As Europe’s most relevant b2b order platform for fashion, sustainability and innovation, Neonyt will present professionally responsible brands with broad textile horizons to international buyers, and open up and serve new markets from France alongside the existing location in Düsseldorf. In August 2022, the first Neonyt licence was awarded to Igedo Exhibitions in Düsseldorf and will be held there for the first time from January 28 to 30, 2023 at the Areal Böhler. And thanks to the partnership with Wsn Développement, from next year, Neonyt will be held parallel to Who’s Next and Impact twice a year, in January and September.
Aiming to offer customers different products, Wsn Développement will present for the January editions, Who's Next, Impact and Bijorhca trade shows at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center. To there are added for the first time this year the International Lingerie Show and Interfilière Paris.

“We are very proud of our new partnership with Wsn Développement, which now constitutes a striking, initial, future-oriented milestone in our strategic internationalisation pathway,” explained Olaf Schmidt, vice president textiles & textile technologies, Messe Frankfurt. “Paris is a highly attractive, trend-setting fashion location. And, very popular in the sector, as well as having increasing links with the markets of southern Europe, Paris is for both us and our community the perfect choice for our first international licence location.”

Well known throughout the sector, Who’s Next presents fashions, accessories and lifestyle, as well as the season’s trends, for buyers. Launched in 2019, Impact by Wsn, which not only sets fashionable and ecological accents but also supports positive measures for speeding up the process of ecological change in the fashion sector, will also be held in the immediate vicinity of Neonyt. Who's Next and Impact attract international buyers from abroad, especially those from the retail sector in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and Belgium. The focus for all labels at Neonyt is speciality and multi-label stores, both of which attach great significance to sustainable fashions.

“The values of Impact and Neonyt are universal and game changer in the fashion industry. Our partnership sets a great signal and a significant acceleration in the events sphere. We are proud to welcome Neonyt in Paris to reveal to our ecosystem a stronger fashion & sustainable offer from next January,” said Wsn ceo Frédéric Maus.
