IMPACT and NEONYT PARIS is an initiative dedicated to eco-responsible fashion and design at the Who's Next trade show.
IMPACT is a nomadic umbrella initiative created by the WSN Group in 2019, dedicated to eco-responsible fashion and aimed at raising awareness among the general public and professionals about positive and sustainable solutions in the fields of textiles, beauty and lifestyle.
Neonyt has been organised since 2018 by Messe Frankfurt in Germany to promote long-term change in the fashion and textile sector in an authentic, direct and transparent manner.
IMPACT in a few words
Since 2023, Messe Frankfurt has been working with the WSN Group to offer IMPACT and NEONYT PARIS in a bid to combine their offerings and expertise and bring their two communities together.
With the support of an independent eco-sustainability expert, IMPACT and Neonyt Paris have developed a set of criteria for assessing the eco-sustainability of fashion brands. Our exhibitors wishing to obtain certification must meet at least 75% of the criteria in our questionnaire.
This document is based on three areas:
the sustainability of raw materials
employee working conditions
Supply chain transparency
Eligible brands can benefit from a preferential rate to exhibit at our trade shows and will be promoted with an ‘IMPACT and Neonyt Paris’ sticker on their stand, allowing them to showcase their commitment to buyers.
The IMPACT and Neonyt Paris Forum is a central and committed space at the Who's Next trade show, dedicated to players and solutions working towards more responsible, supportive and sustainable fashion. A true meeting point, the forum welcomes buyers, brands, media, schools and curious minds seeking transformation and questioning the future of the sector.
Designed as a place of inspiration and dialogue, the area is structured around several highlights:
- A space for discussion: conferences, talks and podcasts to decipher the contemporary challenges facing fashion.
A materials forum: a selection of eco-designed items (ready-to-wear clothing, accessories, bags, shoes, etc.) from brands with IMPACT and Neonyt Paris certification present at the show.
Committed partners: companies, associations and creatives present their projects and run various workshops.
A place designed to inspire, question and take action in favour of more conscious fashion.
