“Impulse” – the theme for the winter 2015/16 trends at Texworld’s September issue primarily focuses on renewal, portraying the recovery of the textile industry. The relevance of the theme is reflected in a recent study conducted by Jean-François Limantour for first quarter of 2014, which shows that European imports of clothing have increased by 6%, compared with the first quarter of 2013, and have now reached 18,000 million euros.
More than 850 weavers, knitters, embroiderers and accessory designers will be unveiling their new collections for 2015/16 winter clothing at the exhibition, from 15 to 18 September this year. 133 of them are new exhibitors for you to discover, coming from South Korea, China, India, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Turkey, Vietnam, the Ukraine and Sri Lanka and attending the show for the first time.
The concept of the fair has been illustrated using intense colours and artistic references, and has been divided into six themes disclosed in the “Impulse” trend book: Spontaneous Attraction, Brutal Poetization, Innocent Appropriation, Anonymous Quintessence, Abrupt Veins dedicated to Denim, and Fragmented Relics for accessories. The season’s colour palette is inclined towards subtle hues, with subdued liveliness. The increased numbers of new exhibitors for the show is very encouraging. Variety of innovations and creations would be noticed at the fair in different segments of embroidery, and prints as well.
Two Indian companies have been highlighted by the exhibition’s fashion committee for their creativity and innovation. Be dazzled from Kolkata and Tulip Exim from Mumbai will be offering the very best Indian handmade embroideries on panels and finished products. Similarly, sumptuous range of prints on polyester, silk and cotton, denims with power stretch and lovely collections of buttons and ribbons will be showcased for the winter season projecting proximity and creativity to appeal to European customers.
