Texfusion, an international sourcing textile show in the UK, is expected to launch a new section for denim this year.

About 150 international exhibitors and over 2500 visitors are expected to attend this edition of The London Print Design Fair (TLPDF), a leading print design show in London, and Texfusion, which will be held on March 20 and 21, 2018, in the UK.

A new hall focussing on denim is expected to be launched next month, with about 15 global manufacturers. The hall will display denim fabric, accessories and garments from international manufacturers. Among the countries presenting their wares are Spain, Pakistan, Italy, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey.

John Kelley, the show organiser announced, “After the launch of the garments section last March, we realised that the range of Texfusion products was not complete and something was missing. We noticed that the UK market showed an increasing attention to this product and we decided to create a denim section within Texfusion. Denim manufacturers don’t belong to any other sections and they deserve a special hall within the show.”

From March, there will also be an area dedicated to the trends for Spring/Summer 2019. Four moods will be displayed divided between fashion and technical.

The collaboration with Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF) has led to the launch of a new display area from Taiwan, where during this edition, which will focus on technical fabrics.

Ten companies from Taiwan will showcase their latest collections of functional and eco-friendly, functional non-woven fabrics, insulation, and Seawool functional fabrics and functional wool collection as well as integrated garment solutions, functional tights and leggings.
