Fashion, Function and eco-friendliness are the starring roles at this year's TITAS. From fibers to ready-to-wear and accessories, the full-fledged products on display are as complete, versatile and innovative as usual.

Attention Grabbing: Functional textiles
TITAS has been the sourcing platform for functional textiles since 2005. It presents textile products with various characteristics including moisture transferring, water-vapor permeable, water-proof, antibacterial, deodorant and UV-protective for outdoor and sports wear. There are also textiles for technicians and health care workers to help ensure their safety at work: materials with anti-wrinkle, anti-mold, stain release, flame-retardant, water repellent, oil repellent and antistatic functions. An eye-catching product for future market demand will be an ultra-thin, electrically conductive soft fabric based on special fiber combining technologies in textile design, fabrication, dyeing and electroless plating.

Green Biz: Eco-friendly Textiles
TITAS 2009 will give an eco-boost to the always fashion & tech forward textile industry of Taiwan. With great feedback from attendees for organic cotton products and recycled PET fibers at last year's show, an eco-label system is designed especially for this year's fair. “Green Label” will be introduced to textiles made from eco-friendly materials and “Gray Label” to those made through eco-friendly production processes which generate minimum environmental impact. The system will help buyers to identify and access green textiles easily and efficiently. With the soaring environmental awareness worldwide, eco-friendliness is becoming a new “function” for textiles. There is no doubt that eco textiles will be the star products at TITAS in the very near future.
