Texworld and ApparelSourcing Paris fairs enjoyed growth and satisfactory comments.

Organisers at Messe Frankfurt France have reported that the Texworld and ApparelSourcing trade fairs – both events held in Paris in February 17 – 20 (coinciding with the Premiere Vision Pluriel fairs) - reported a growth of 11% in terms of visitors’ numbers (when compared to the February 2013 event ), prompting its president Michael Sherpe to comment that the textiles industry is emerging from the economic crisis.

Mr Sherpe said the positioning of Texworld and ApparelSourcing Paris (for fashion fabrics, accessories and finished garments respectively), as pre-eminent platforms, where you can find the whole spectrum of qualities at fair prices, had been firmly established and contributed to these positive results.  Some 85% of the visitors came from outside France.

The key fabrics for Spring Summer 2015 according to the fairs’ artistic directors, Louis Gérin and Grégory Lamaud, were sumptuous colours with flair.
