To be held from February 7 to 09 at the Parc des Expositions de Paris de Paris-Le Bourget, Texworld Evolution Paris will provide visitors an opportunity to discover the Trends Forum imagined and designed by the art directors of Texworld Paris, Louis Gérin and Grégory Lamaud. Displayed at several points in the exhibition, the new forum will highlight expressive lines born out of these two years of crisis. It will interrogate the new forms of ‘living together,’ the barriers between communities, cultures and materials by exploring the power of these interfaces in creative terms: the junction between digital and tangible, natural and synthetic, hard and soft. These associations, which give a particular place to materials and fibers, will be explored through four major themes.

Border: This theme gives clothing materials their rightful place. It will encompass a large tonal palette ranging from graphite to arctic blue, but always in rather muted and ‘earthy’ aspects.

Alliance: This ethereal and spiritual creative range will showcase palettes of blue and green. The materials (carved embroidery) and the fiber (fibrous protrusion) in this theme will be are expressed in tones - transparent or opaque - in a spirit where nature often shines through.

Connections: This theme will include synthetic and fluorescent materials. It will mix fluorescent angora with knitted (recycled!) plastics.

Surface: This theme will be the point of contact and exchange between virtual and real, between earth and space, through a palette of blues and greens that can be imagined as flat surfaces" in the style of "flat design". The mixtures (crystalline membrane) and contrasts (antic collage) that confront the materials are not forbidden.

Visitors will be able to discover these major themes through all material samples and finished products selected by the show's artistic directors to illustrate concretely each of the creative universes of Spring/Summer 2023 fashion.
