Leading trend forecasters Pantone and Stylesight will extend their support of Material World to the California edition. Pantone is the official color authority of Material World and Stylesight is the official trend partner of the event.
Material World West will be a comprehensive presentation of the fashion and style industry supply chain. “Material World is more of an international product-development show for the fashion and style industries than it is just a textile show,” said Ilse Metchek, executive director of the California Fashion Association.
“My understanding is that it will focus more on technology, equipment, facilitation, and the supply side of product development, including denim textiles and finishing organizations; segments not currently included in the local show.”
"Los Angeles is where fashion trends begin and we are delighted to welcome Material World to the Downtown region, the hub of the apparel industry on the West Coast," said Mark Liberman, president and CEO of LA INC., The Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"The apparel and textiles industry is the largest manufacturing sector in LA county and we are looking forward to hosting such a popular trade show that will showcase one of our City's most well-known attributes." The apparel and textiles industry generates $24.5 billion annually in wholesale volume, and Los Angeles employs more people in the apparel and textiles industry than New York City.
