Major textile event, Texworld, will feature 650 exhibitors from all over the world and from the Asian continent in particular this year. They will be showing their collections of fabrics and clothing to around 16 000 trade visitors, of whom 87% are foreign.
The focus in this edition is on the spring summer 2010 season where natural fibres are much appreciated and sought after, such as cotton and linen, but also ramie, hemp, coconut fibres, bamboo, silk and wool, as well as artificial fibres based on cellulose.
Exhibitors are increasingly aware of products that use organic materials or production techniques and so with each season of Texworld, the number of exhibitors offering such creations, increase. This is good for consumers who appreciate this type of production in their advocacy of environmental conservation.
Texworld is maintaining its pursuit of its policy of opening its doors to young designers and patternmakers who represent the future of the textile and clothing profession.
Two schools (Duperré, the Parisian school of Applied Arts and Kymenlaakson, a Finnish university of applied sciences) have each selected four young graduates who will present their own collections.
Visitors to the show will also be able to go right into a cutting workshop recreated by the Académie Internationale de Coupe de Paris and watch the future graduates working there.
