Commenting on the seminar, EastMax' buyer and regular supporter of Cashmere World, Alessandra Cocchi said, 'The session about the improvement of cashmere for the benefit of producers and the environment was fascinating. I was interested to hear about the existence of new, unknown pockets of production sources'.
Central Asian countries are potential future suppliers of cashmere, according to British social scientist and Odessa Centre's Director, Dr. Carol Kerven, who has spent the last decade on researching the production of cashmere in the region.
But Cashmere World is not all about discussing serious issues and business. On a lighter note, fashion shows of both Italian and Chinese brands added sensuality to an already very glamourous event.
