But fashion would be very forlorn without the accessories and trimmings. This is where the appearance of strong companies has been noted, for instance, the Japanese Shimada Shoji with its diverse range – from buttons to epaulettes to beautifully crafted ribbons and grosgrain and the Roja Orme San Ve Tic company from Turkey with a line of accessories for ready-to-wear and braiding and stays for lingerie and corsets. Hong Kong brings us Jointak Labels &Co for woven labels, transfers and leather inlays for womenswear, menswear and junior wear.
This surge reflects the improvement in the world economic situation, the upturn in consumption in Japan and the healthy state of the economies in India, China and Brazil as well as the easing of speculative pressure on the price of raw materials, which have all restored confidence to firms. The upturn is also driven by trends for volume and for longer hemlines. These trends will last and benefit weavers with the need for yardage.
The return of exhibitors who were absent from some of the more recent shows will also strengthen this confidence. The return of the big Indian manufacturer of cellulosic fibres, Birla Cellulose that will make a conspicuous reappearance with its range of fluid fabrics, that offer an alternative to traditional and organic cotton weighed down by its high price. The South Korean Global AMS group, a specialist in knitwear and cotton hosiery and GDD Exports, the Indian cotton weaver for casual wear, are also signalling their return after the period of fluctuation for cotton prices.
Texworld is proud to welcome these newcomers from all over the world as it is this cosmopolitanism that is one of the exhibition's strengths and that attracts international buyers from all segments of fashion, from designers to the major brands.
Focus on ecofriendly fabrics with sustainability Day.
Tomorrow's consumers will be more aware of clothing that makes sense: in terms of material and of social and environmental responsibility. The demand for these eco fabrics is increasing as the green movement is developing very rapidly: organic and recycled fabrics are no longer the prerogative of ecofriendly labels and designers. All the labels, starting with the major brands, have designed collections of 100% organic materials, giving structure to the sector. The trend is also establishing itself at renowned designers such as Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood, Oskar Metsavaht from the Osklen label and among young designers (Studio Jux, Valentine Gauthier, Sakina M'sa...). Also the number of shows dedicated to ethical fashion is on the increase, like the Ethical Fashion Show, that lends flair to the world of fashion.
