The much awaited, Texworld Paris, will be held at Paris Le Bourget from September 14-17, 2015. The event is a meeting ground for textile and fashion professionals, a place to witness latest innovations and trends, in the harmonious name of ‘Prelude’, this season. Autumn/Winter 2016-17 collections will revolve around this theme and tones and textures. Louis Gérin and Grégory Lamaud, the fair’s two artistic directors, and a group of designers, reflect on the influence of fashion on the future of society. Their vision of future synergies, in which the artist is at the centre of design is documented in their Trend Book.
There are six themes: Simple Tessitura, Imitation Fugue, Sacrilegious Harmonies and Rhapsodic Transgression. Denim will be the focus and is christened, ‘Graphic Percussion’, while accessories is entitled ‘Chiselled Score’. The concept will be interpreted on the Trends Forum, by most astounding materials, daring embroidery, new textures and the most creative developments of the season.
Two seminars are scheduled for Monday and Wednesday, wherein artistic developers will develop the link between materials and colours and share their inspiration and the new aesthetic directions taken by textiles and fashion in winter 2016/17.
Besides, young alumni of the Esmod Fashion School are being invited to Texworld Paris to showcase their graduation collections on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Michael Scherpe, CEO of Messe Frankfurt France said that they encourage designers and industry to come together so that young graduates can enter the professional world and understand its demands.
