We are just a week away from Neonyt’s first digital edition – ‘Neonyt on Air’. As the international sustainable hub dives into digitalisation, it rightfully so discusses the opportunities at the intersection of fashion and digital formats. “The fashion industry and the tradeshow business are not only facing new challenges but, above all, also great opportunities,” says Thimo Schwenzfeier, Show Director of Neonyt. 

The Neonyt on Air is a proof that the creative industry is not foreign to adaptability and innovation. This event will certainly meet the needs of discussing new mechanisms to deal with the austerity of the present situation and, more importantly, will open up a space to clear doubts of the current climate of the fashion sector, find expertise, and refresh business insights. If you aren’t subscribed to Neonyt’s newsletters yet, here we round up the most updated agenda running from next Monday to Friday – all the highlights you need to know to follow the event.

Luxiders Magazine will share a glimpse behind the scenes of the new sustainable fashion editorial made under the storyline "Fashion in uncertain times", coming up next July, 13th. Head over to the Neonyt Instagram profile on Thursday, 16th afternoon to see the way we work.
