Trade fair: Texworld Evolution Paris to celebrate 25th anniversary in a new venue this July

This summer, from July 3 to 5, 2023, the Texworld Evolution Paris group of trade shows will welcome 1,350 exhibitors from more than 20 countries to the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Center, in the heart of Paris, marking the shows'  25th anniversary.

Encompassing Apparel Sourcing, Avantex, Leatherworld, and Texworld Paris the three-day trade event on the Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 season will be a key focus of international buyers' sourcing calendar, offering the latest developments on offer from fashion brands that range from ready-to-wear to luxury designs.

Texworld Evolution Paris will for the first time staged in the new venue at Porte de Versailles in Paris because its usual site of Parc des Expositions in the Bourget has been given way to preparations of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. 

Organisers at Messe Frankfurt France say being in the new venue means the Texworld Evolution Paris  trade shows can be held concurrently with other fashion events that will take place at the same location in the French capital.

Julien Schmoll, Marketing and Communication Director of Messe Frankfurt France explains that by joining up with the WSN Développement group, a broad sourcing platform will be created for trade buyers. "With the same badge, visitors will be able to attend freely from one event to another. WSN's Curve and Interfilière Paris shows for the lingerie, loungewear, swimwear and activewear community are slated to be held in Hall 5, from July 2 to 4, at the Parc des Expositions de la Porte de Versailles.

Texworld Evolution Paris  is also set to be the largest event since the end of the Covid-19 health crisis, with more than 1,300 manufacturers expected in Hall 1 of the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Centre, representing a 40% increase in participation compared to the February 2023 show. 

The number of participating Chinese manufacturers are almost back to their pre-crisis level, with the number of exhibitors doubling at Apparel Sourcing Paris and increasing very strongly at Texworld Paris. Manufacturers from India, Turkey, Korea and Taiwan have confirmed their attendance. Due to very favourable results of the previous winter session, exhibitors are confident to be able to maintain close contact with the market by participating in Texworld Evolution Paris, explains the organisers.

Meanwhile, Messe Frankfurt Paris will be launching "Après vous", the trend book for the Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 season in July at Porte de Versailles, Paris, to celebrate "the world after", but also a certain French savoir-vivre, a source of creation for textiles and fashion, presented by Art Directors Louis Gérin and Gregory Lamaud.

Under four themes the new trend book, will be presenting the latest trend directions based on their analysis of emerging signals detected in the creative, artistic, economic and societal fields.
