More than 630 international exhibitors will unveil their new Spring/Summer 2016 collections at the next Texworld international textile trade fair, which will take place from 9-12 February 2015 in Paris. The year-on-year number of exhibitors remains stable.

Held just ten days after the Chinese New Year celebrations, Texworld Paris will also welcome 70 new exhibitors from South Korea, China, the UAE, India, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Portugal and Turkey.

In terms of the number of new exhibitors, there has been no change in the top three since the February 2014 event. China is still in the lead, with Turkey holding on to second place, followed by South Korea. India comes fourth. Turkey remains in second place as a country ranked by number of exhibitors, borne up by the quality of its offer and by strong demand for sourcing close to home.

Knits

This exhibition’s segment has experienced the strongest growth, with 13 new producers making fabric indispensable to mixed, children’s and infants’ ready-to-wear ranges.

Collections from South Korea, appreciated by buyers for its cutting-edge technology, are leading the way in creativity and innovation. Dong Il Textile Co, which specialises in materials for casual wear and men’s and women’s sportswear, produces high-tech, eco-friendly fabrics with a wide range of properties (anti-perspiration, anti-odour, quick drying). The company’s products are aimed at mid and top-of-the-range brands.

The sporty collections from EST, which specialises in womenswear, are made up of trendy jacquards and circular and double knits that are highlights among ranges dedicated to major fast fashion labels.

Suzhou Sinceboom Textile (China) is developing a range of basic cotton knits with an attractive quality finish, dedicated to mid-range children’s’ casual wear collections. Arge Örme Kumas Tekstil (Turkey), headquartered in Istanbul, offers a rich spread of products, from fancy knits to the most complex jacquard weaves, combining natural materials with Lurex and polyester.
