Apparel Sourcing Paris will expand its offer in clothing and accessories with the participation of four new countries – Kyrgyzstan, Cambodia, Mexico and Myanmar. With registration of over 600 exhibitors, the trade show is recording an increase of over 10 per cent. The sourcing platform will offer a wide range of products from international manufacturers. 

The 13th edition of the trade show will be held in Le Bourget, Paris from September 18-21.

"For over six years, Apparel Sourcing Paris has been committed to providing its visitors with the best in the clothing industry at the showcase for international sourcing. Novel special products and new geographical regions are selected for each show according to specific criteria, such as expert skills, technical expertise, responsiveness, good value for money or a high degree of flexibility on the part of international clothing manufacturers where requirements for the European market are concerned. On the occasion of its 13th show, Apparel Sourcing Paris is expanding its offer with products from four new countries (Kyrgyzstan, Cambodia, Mexico, Myanmar)," said Michael Scherpe, president of Messe Frankfurt France.

At Apparel Sourcing Paris, Deloitte, managers of the USAID BGI (Business Growth Initiative) project, will introduce 12 manufacturers from Kyrgyzstan: seven firms and five individual business owners. Mainly featuring production of women’s ready-to-wear, the Kyrgyz are also offering outerwear, bespoke tailoring for men and specialty knitwear. Two firms are exhibiting independently: Lila Style with its blouses and dresses for young girls and R&I with children’s knitwear. USAID BGI project, funded with a budget of 20 million dollars, aims to increase the competitiveness of Kyrgyz businesses between 2014 and 2018 by accessing international markets.

GMAC, the association representing Cambodian clothing producers, will showcase the skills of eight manufacturers and will put the spotlight on designers’ creativity with a special catwalk show. You will discover a very varied offer not only for sportswear but also for shirting, underwear, suits, bespoke tailoring, coats and knitwear.

Giga Fitness, a specialist for men's and women's sportswear and swimwear, will show off its capabilities with a high standard of quality in terms of materials, design and finishes. The company has its own integrated design studio and also makes white-label clothing. It is based in Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco state, the real economic and cultural hub of Western Mexico.

AVE, the German retailers' foreign trade association, has partnered with MGMA, the Myanmar association for clothing manufacturers, in order to present this country’s products in Paris for the first time. The two organisations AVE and MGMA are joining forces to support modernisation and development of logistics structures and to improve competitiveness and sustainability of production in Myanmar.

"This season's show hosts an original initiative with the 'From Workshop to Shop' exhibition: 12 ready-to-wear brands will demonstrate that creativity and fashion sense are a top priority for Chinese clothing manufacturers," added Scherpe. 12 fashion brands, already established on the Chinese and/or European, American and Japanese markets, unveil their collections. 

Shawls & Scarves at the Apparel Sourcing Paris will showcase fashion accessories and shawls, scarves and stoles. September’s show will assemble 50 exhibitors. (RR)
