The Texworld Evolution Paris-Le Showroom, which is being held from February 1-5, 2021, at the Atelier Richelieu, is displaying around 2500 fabrics and finished products from textile exhibitors, in compliance with sanitary regulations during the pandemic. Organised by Messe Frankfurt, it is the first fashion ‘touch & feel’ sourcing event in Paris in 2021.
The event was designed by Messe Frankfurt’s team to maintain a flow of business between the global sourcing players for fashion brands, from ready-to-wear to luxury goods, weavers and international manufacturers, for which it brings together a fine selection of various products and materials (knitwear, warp and weft, embroidery, jacquard, prints, and so on), Messe Frankfurt said.
All major sourcing countries, China, India, Turkey, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Korea, and Pakistan, are being represented. Particularly visible this year, Korea is represented by companies such as CF Corporation and Great Duksan, which are presenting very attractive materials, one in warp and weft, the other in mesh, based on Tencel and Modal cellulosic blends. Visitors can also discover the new collections of lace and haute couture embroidery from Lebanese Kaskas, the certified organic cotton fabrics from Pakistani Kohinoor Mills, or the socks in combed cotton thread with customisable patterns from the French company Fourseaz, according to Messe Frankfurt.
Upon invitation at the time slot of their choice, visitors will have direct access to the textile and clothing collections arranged around two main areas. A Trend Forum, imagined by the artistic directors of Texworld Evolution Paris, Louis Gérin and Grégory Lamaud, is offering to the buyers a creative inspiration book elaborated around a selection of textile and clothing samples that will become the fashion of spring-summer 2022. A Library unveils, by categories, a precise selection of several thousands of fabrics samples and finished goods to be discovered in specially designed areas that will facilitate the professionals’ journey, according to a media statement by Messe Frankfurt.
From the moment they arrive at the showroom, buyers are provided with a digital tool specifically developed to facilitate direct contact with manufacturers for expressing interest, requesting samples, or quotations. Le Showroom is, therefore, an innovative response to ensure that this essential connection between the international clothing supply and the demand for creativity of fashion brands is maintained.
