Texworld Paris expects to welcome more than
630 exhibitors, including 70 newcomers
«Presence», a preview of Texworld’s trends for
summer 2016
More than 630 international exhibitors will unveil
their new spring and summer 2016 collections at
the next Texworld trade fair, from 9 to 12 February
2015. The year-on-year number of exhibitors
remains stable.
The calendar has done Asian exhibitors a favour.
The trade fair is taking place ten days after the
Chinese New Year celebrations.
-
In terms of the number of new exhibitors, there
has been no change in the top three since the
February 2014 event. China is still in the lead, with
Turkey holding on to second place, followed by
South Korea. India comes fourth. Turkey remains
in second place as a country ranked by number of
exhibitors, borne up by the quality of its offer and
by strong demand for sourcing close to home.
Texworld Paris will welcome 70 new exhibitors
from South Korea, China, the UAE, India, Hong
Kong, Malaysia, Portugal and Turkey.
Here is a sample of what is on offer from these
new weavers for summer 2016, segment by
segment:
• Cotton
The segment will host 12 new exhibitors, amongst
which Dacheng Textile Co. (China) has attracted
the attention of the selection committee because
of the variety of its offer - a huge range of fabrics
for shirting and casualwear in 100% cotton or
mixes with linen, Tencel® or polyester. Its midrange offer of refined finishes is aimed particularly
at casual womenswear collections.
The two Turkish companies Hisar Tekstil of
Istanbul and Bahateks Tekstil of Bursa must
not be ignored. They have a nice range of midrange voiles in extremely high-quality finishes
9 - 12 February 2015 2
for men and women. The two companies offer a
huge range in conventional pure and BCI cotton
for unstructured garments, shirting and bottom
pieces, which are already featured by some major
European fast fashion labels.
Silkland Trading from the UAE has made a
remarkable splash with its closely-worked cotton,
original prints and embroidery inspired by the
Orient - making up a creative middle-market range
intended to appeal to buyers for womenswear
looking for added value.
• Knits
This segment has experienced the strongest
growth, with 13 new producers making fabric
indispensable to mixed, children’s and infants’
ready-to-wear ranges. Collections from South
Korea, appreciated by buyers for its cutting-edge
technology, are leading the way in creativity and
innovation, and deserve special mention, like those
from Dong Il Textile Co, which specialises in
materials for casualwear and men’s and women’s
sportswear. High-tech, eco-friendly fabrics with
a wide range of properties (anti-perspiration,
anti-odour, quick drying, etc) are aimed at midand top-of-the-range brands. The very sporty
collections from EST, which specialises in
womenswear with a range in which quality is well
in excess of price, made up of trendy jacquards
and circular and double knits are highlights among
ranges dedicated to major fast fashion labels.

developing a range of basic cotton knits with an
attractive quality finish, dedicated to mid-range
children’s’ casualwear collections.

to the most complex jacquard weaves, combining
natural materials with Lurex® and polyester. 70% of
its collection is aimed at women and 30% at men.
Its ability to react and its vast production capacity
are the assets which it uses to attract fast fashion
chains.

segments at the trade fair, will host three new

«PRESENCE», A PREVIEW OF TEXWORLD’S TRENDS FOR
SUMMER 2016
The new «Spring-Summer 2016» seasonal
theme has been baptised «Presence»: a unique
look at the new directions of textile design and
fashion taken by the fair’s two artistic directors,
Louis Gérin and Grégory Lamaud. «Being 100%
present at last, as reality slips through our fingers,
representing the hourglass of our hopes, giving
way to a hypothetical realm. Circumstances have
become the only tangible point of reference, an
eternal landmark. We are experiencing our era
at last. Being has replaced the future. We are in
the age of full consciousness» could sum up their
interpretation of this concept of summer 2016.
9 - 12 February 2015 7
Smooth shades espouse and uncover irresistible
palettes to celebrate the season. An urban vibe
echoes the works of artists like the Korean Do-Ho
Suh, entitled «Tangible Space», in which structures
combining translucent lines evoke a peaceful
presence whilst remaining in context.
«Presence» will launch a Trend book with six
influential themes, one dedicated to denim and the
last to accessories.
Below are two colours which the two artistic
directors believe are the leitmotif of the season:
- ERSATZ ESSENTIEL - a very powerful, bright
prairie green, rich and prized.
- ASTRE FACTICE - a shade of yellow with a subtle
glow: naturally radiant but almost pastel. Seductive.
The next Texworld will take place from Monday 9 to
Thursday 12 Feburary 2015, at Paris Le Bourget.
