Apparel Sourcing Paris closed its doors on Thursday after four days of intense business networking and activity. The eighth edition of the trade fair welcomed 11,639 visitors from 111 countries. 165 producers from eleven countries unveiled their latest products and solutions for next winter. Exhibitors from new countries such as Tunisia, Cambodia and Vietnam joined this year, positioning the trade fair as Europe’s premier international sourcing platform.
In addition to regular buyers, exhibitors also benefited from the flow of visitors to Texworld. The event had on display a wide collection of quality products. Regular fashion shows also took place during the four day event. The creations of the Frankfurt Style Award were able to impress the audience with their boldness and eclecticism. Over a dozen silhouettes inspired by the theme ‘United Diversity: Uniform, Unisex, Unicult’ showcased the creativity and skills of the finalists. Young designers graduating from various universities and international fashion schools participated the event.
The ‘Fashion by Tunisia’ show brought together the fashion industry and eight companies which demonstrated their skill in knits, unstructured garments, denim and seamless pieces for the first time at Apparel Sourcing Paris. The international designers Ahmed Talfit and Ali Karoui closed the show with ‘Spirit of Couture’ range for the international market. Fashion by Tunisia demonstrated the capacity and creativity of this sector, which is the country’s second largest industry.
The next Texworld will take place from September 14 to 17, 2015 at Paris Le Bourget.
