The 40th ‘Texworld Paris 2017’ show begins February 6 to 9, with 730 exhibitors, with this number showing an increase, particularly due to the return of previous exhibitors, who missed several recent shows. Turkey, with 87 exhibitors, remains the second most represented country after China, followed by South Korea with 71 exhibitors and India with 53 exhibitors.

Taiwan with 26 and Pakistan with 19 bring up the rear of the top five exhibiting countries. In addition the 2017 edition will also see companies participating from new countries.

Elite, a segment dedicated to customized solutions will see 21 exhibitors, a majority of whom played a key role in setting up this zone, for specialist offers that are adapted for European markets.

Texworld will also host the ‘Frankfurt Style Award’, an international fashion competition to promote young designers. There will also be a series of lectures discussing the latest developments in the sector, catwalk shows and the Trends Forum.
