More than 3,100 buyers, from Italy, France, Spain, England and Germany were witnessed at the 18th edition of MarediModa, the international European textile fair. The event, held from November 5-7, 2019 at the Palais Des Festivals in Cannes, wrapped up with a 3 per cent increase in visitors. It recorded a significant increase in visitors from the United States with the 110 European companies previewing their collections for summer 2021.
“It was one of the best editions in recent years both in terms of numbers and quality in the ambiance and as far as visitor consent is concerned,” commented Claudio Taiana, Chairman of the show.
“The work developed by David Shah on trend forecasting, the new area dedicated to trends, the conferences, the in-depth analysis of themes, the installations, and the highly convivial moments that animated the halls of the Palais Des Festivals this year were all greatly appreciated. Our salon undoubtedly represents an absolute reference point in the beachwear, underwear, and sports sectors thanks to growing interest on the part of large worldwide brands in European fabric of controlled origin who share a desire for speeding-up things regarding issues of sustainability; these increasingly important issues are the ones which are currently being addressed in our companies,” he added.
The winners of The Link, 2019 contest were also awarded. The contest is dedicated to fashion designers from over one hundred of the best-known European schools.
