| Messe Frankfurt Paris will rename show to Texworld Evolution Paris, and changing the autumn 2021 show dates to July from September, and also move to a new location in Central Paris - in Porte the Versailles. |
Faced with the continued health crisis, many international events have cancelled or postponed. For one, Messe Frankfurt France has announced the cancellation of its February 2021 edition of the Apparel Sourcing, Avantex, Leatherworld, Shawls&Scarves, Texworld and Texworld Denim Paris trade shows, following the cancellation of their September 2020 events.
However the fair organisers have come up with innovative alternative solutions for the fashion industry that would nevertheless enable international fashion players, buyers and exhibitors, to continue their business, to showcase their collections and exhibit their know-how. In order not to interrupt the business flow and to provide visibility for manufacturers, the organising will be proposing an event for fabrics and clothing buyers which will have a quite innovative format.
Slated to be organised from 1st to 5th February 2021 at the heart of Paris, the innovative format will act as a showroom that will allow invited buyers to discover offerings from selected textile and garment exhibitors whose products will be grouped together in specific areas.
Frédéric Bougeard, President of Messe Frankfurt France reported the event will bring together the products of a selection of our exhibitors. “It is a solution that will enable us to best meet the needs and expectations of the customers during this unique period. It complements the digital sourcing platform, which we have developed with our partner Foursource, as a means of exchange between two physical editions of our shows. It is crucial to offer our visitors access, even if restricted, to the global offer".
Also looking ahead, Messe Frankfurt Paris will be changing the autumn 2021 show dates, moving to July from September, at a new location in Central Paris, at the exhibition venue of Porte the Versailles. Following this new dynamic, all the shows will in the future be regrouped under one name - Texworld Evolution Paris - to provide visitors coherence and a better understanding of the various sourcing universes, said M. Bougeard.
In the meantime, buyers can still continue to source products between each event through the recently launched digital platform.
