The third edition of Avantex Paris brought together companies that supply the ultimate in high-tech fabrics, trimmings and services for the fashion of tomorrow in Paris. Held last month, the trade show was organised by Messe Frankfurt which confirmed the market’s keen interest in textile innovation and research and development.
Displaying technical clothing and fabrics as well as e-clothing, Avantex Paris satisfied a strong demand for convenience, everyday use and functionality from consumers, who seek functional, suitable fashion, fanciful at times but more practical and more rational.
The show expanded its categories this year by offering technical and technological services that support fashion. This diversification was highly acclaimed, as witnessed by the success of the cap with built-in headphones from the Taiwanese Sound Team, the all-in-one photo equipment from Picapics, which received expressions of interest in buying from several American, Indian and Chinese companies. Also the concept for instantaneous dyeing and embroidery from Coloreel, especially previewed at Avantex Paris aroused keen interest on the part of manufacturers.

Alongside these innovative finished products, the ranges of textiles were not outdone, in particular, the almond and cinnamon-based antibacterial fabrics from Green Defence, Umorfil’s collagen peptide-based cosmetic fibres obtained from fish scales and blended with recycled fibres and the triple-layer breathable fabrics from the Korean firm Bosung Textile were appreciated at the show.
