Messe Frankfurt France organized Texworld Paris from September 18 to 21, 2017. The show focused on materials, components and trimmings for the fashion and accessories industry recorded a 13.9 per cent increase in visitors compared to last year. After two years of lacklustre performance, buyers were in need of renewal and a change in fashion codes. And as Michael Scherpe, President, Messe Frankfurt France said, “We found the September 2017 show to be extremely busy. From the very first day of the show, there was a wind of change blowing through the shows. Very determined visitors descended on the General Forum for trends with its artistic backdrop, which provided an excellent showcase for the colours of the individual shows and above all the choice and original characteristics of the weavers. Exhibitors welcomed the attendance by representatives from some very high-end segments, even from the European luxury sector. The same goes for the return by Americans (+19,38 per cent for the US) and contacts who were more than satisfied as they rediscovered the show.”
