The second edition of the New & Next University Contest promises a host of exciting design ideas. Universities can now register to take part in the competition.

At the upcoming Heimtextil, Messe Frankfurt will put the spotlight on the textile designers of tomorrow. With the “New & Next University Contest”, the international trade fair for home and contract textiles is targeting European universities that specialise in textile design and other related courses of study. They are invited to submit three representative design drafts by their students via the online platform www.heimtextil-newandnext.com. The closing date for entries is 30 September 2019. The winners of the competition will be given a stand and therefore an opportunity to present themselves under the “New & Next” banner in the “Textile Design” product area in hall 3.0.
New & Next: start-ups showcase young design
At Heimtextil, “New & Next” has been a byword for the promotion of newcomers and start-ups for many years now. Under this title, Heimtextil presents young labels that are new on the market. Recently, around 40 newcomers to the market presented fresh design ideas to the international trade fair audience. In the Textile Design product segment (hall 3.0) in particular, young studios inspire with exciting designs. In addition, New & Next participants also offer creative design concepts in other product segments.
New: Job exchange platform for textile and fashion professionals
Graduates, young professionals and established professionals can now access attractive job offers via the new Texpertise Network job exchange platform.
