Messe Frankfurt, market leader of textile fairs worldwide, and Milano Unica, organisers of the renowned Italian textile trade fair, have extended their collaborative activities. The collaboration, which began in 2012, is further strengthened with the presence of Milano Unica in the Javits Convention Center during the New York City textile week in July 2015. The aim of the cooperation is to recall greater concentration of premium and luxury textile manufacturers and brands, and strengthen the presence of Italian fabrics in America and major markets of the world.

The NYC Textile Week will be held in July 21 to 23, 2015. This is North America’s largest sourcing event for apparel fabric buyers, research and product development specialist, designers, merchandisers and overseas sourcing professionals. It attracts manufacturers from Asia, the Middle East, North America and from many other regions. Apparel fabrics, trims and accessories for every product line will be displayed– women, men, juniors and children/infant wear.

In addition to the joint venture in the US, Messe Frankfurt and Milano Unica will continue their collaboration in China. The partners have signed a cooperation agreement, extending it for another two years, during Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics, whose last edition was held from 18 to 20 March 2015.
