Three-day Texworld Evolution Paris in July to host 1,300 exhibitors

 

Texworld Paris

 

Between July 5 and 7, 2023, downtown Paris, the international hub for fashion, will host the special 25th anniversary edition of Texworld Paris at the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Centre. Themed Texworld Evolution, the three-day trade fair will herald in pre-Covid enthusiasm that will put the business of fashion back on its tracks, believes event organiser Messe Frankfurt. The exhibition will host around 1,300 exhibitors from 20 countries. The new venue in downtown Paris was an obvious choice for its accessibility, connectivity and the fashionable ambiance. This July, Texworld Evolution Paris brings together all its components Texworld, Texworld Denim, Apparel Sourcing, Avantex and Leatherworld Paris.

Steady increase in participation since 2019

The July 2023 edition of Texworld Evolution is going to be the largest textile trade fair after post-Covid. The number exhibitors have gone up 40 per cent compared to the winter edition held in February this year. Messe Frankfurt reports the number of Chinese manufacturers participating at the July edition of Texworld Evolution is similar to that of 2019, if not more, with China opening up operations after a yearlong strict lockdown. Exhibitors from Taiwan, Turkey, India and South Korea will also attend in large numbers.

Sustainability in focus

The event is giving sustainability its due seat at the table. To its credit, Texworld Evolution has been a frontrunner in the global textile trade fair circuit for more than 15 years. It always showcases certified fabrics and garments of natural origin and ethically produced fabrics and clothing. A special area will be dedicated to organic material, natural and recycled fibre, biodegradable and advanced synthetic fibre. The trade fair is highlighting the entire manufacturing chain that is the subject of particular attention from the buyer and the final consumer - this will include maximized dyeing processes, both, natural or chemical, finishing and environmental management systems or fabrics produced in accordance with transparent social standards, such as fair trade and respect for labour legislation.

Pictograms identifying this group of suppliers will be distributed as they showcase natural materials and environmentally friendly processes while complying with sustainable social standards.

Celebration of small quantities and handmade products

Texworld Evolution Paris has curated the best collection of companies representing the finest handicraft on offer. Visitors can expect to see live demonstration of these age-old or contemporary techniques that create the finest bespoke patterns and products – hand-woven fabrics, embroideries, crochet, applique and brocades to name a few. India is one of the largest groups of exhibitors in this section.

Exclusivity is being showcased through hundreds of exhibitors offering quality products in small quantities. These micro-quantity collections are a huge draw and added value for designers, retailers and fashion start-ups, enabling them to create exclusive collections that can only be sold as limited editions. For example, fabrics have only 50 to 100 mt. per design whereas garments and fashion accessories are not more than 100 styles. It facilitates small business units accepting orders of under €1,000.

Timing is right

The dates chosen for the Texworld Evolution Summer 2023 coincides with Curve and Interfilière Paris, organised by WSN Développement, the trade fair for the lingerie, loungewear, swimwear and activewear section of fashion as these exhibitions are within the same complex, being held from July 2 to 4, 2023. This provides a spectrum covering the entire fashion wear segment.
