Exotic skins, bright colours, embossed abstract patterns, ombre effects and soft yet durable finishes were among the other key trends dominating the fair grounds at MM&T.
Furthermore, APLF has not lost sight of the big-picture issue of Sustainability. It was a key topic discussed at APLF's concurrently run Prime Source Forum last week, as well an important driving force in the design set-up and production of the Fashion Access and APLF-MM&T fair grounds this year.
APLF unveiled greener fairs through operational initiatives that reduce post-show waste and increase use of recycled and reusable raw materials.
From Raw Materials to Fashion, Textiles and Apparel By holding Fashion Access, APLF-MM&T and Prime Source Forum concurrently, the organizers are offering value at every level.
“All the processes in the value chain are closely interrelated,” Mr. Duck explained. “During these hard times it has become apparent how important it is for a business to consider the effects and outcomes of each and every step. This kind of information is close at hand at our vertically-integrated fairs.”
“Additionally, our successful Prime Source Forum, which focuses on apparel and textiles, demonstrates how connected we are within industries that parallel leather and fashion accessories sectors.”
