The 4th edition of Texworld Denim the trade show for sourcing denim textiles and clothing, part of the Fairland of Fashion, Paris, attracted around 30 exhibitors from major countries in the denim sector including Bangladesh, China, India, Pakistan and Turkey.  The show attracted ready-to-wear labels that weavers and clothing manufacturers do not meet elsewhere. 

Meeting demand for sustainable development

The event, in February 2019, concentrated on essentials. It met prime contractors’ demands for sustainable development by featuring seven companies in the Sustainable Development circuit.  Chinese firm King Jolly Textiles that works with organic cotton and has several ‘green’ labels made several contacts with European brands.  Bangladeshi company NZ Denim also saw considerable interest in its non-denim products from major European ready-to-wear labels. 

Supplementary collections on display 

In addition to latest trends in techniques or style, brands also displayed supplementary collections such as shirting. Chinese firm Nanhai Deyao Textile Industrial exhibited an imaginative capsule collection blending denim with indigo-dyed knit fabric or the range of printed denim bags with embroidery alongside their 100 per cent denim products. 

The Catwalk show, held on February 14, 2019, helped the trade show establish its identity as a show that also provides the denim collection needed by ready-to-wear brands and independent designers in every fashion collection.
