London Textile Fair will be held March 22 to 23, 2022. The original dates for the event was January 11 and 12 but I now postponed as Covid cases continue to rise across the UK amid the spread of the Omicron variant. The situation in the UK is very uncertain due to the strong surge of the new Coronavirus variant. UK recently imposed new restrictions, which include the advice of working from home whenever possible. Further and more stringent restrictions are expected before the end of year.

London Textile Fair is the UK's premier platform for fashion fabrics, clothing accessories, print studios and vintage garments. It provides manufacturers and their agents with the opportunity to showcase their products to the most influential British buyers and designers. For the January 2019 show there were more than 500 exhibitors, up from 472 last season. Mostly from Europe the comprised textile manufacturers from Turkey, Italy, Portugal and the UK; buyers from several big-name brands and retailers attended, including River Island, Karen Millen, Oasis, Ted Baker, Jaeger, John Lewis, Boden, Mr Porter and Gieves & Hawkes. Demand for sustainable fabrics was one of the biggest trends at the show. Interest in sustainable alternatives was at an all-time high. There was a surge in interest for recycled fabrics and for BCI cotton.
