Western consumers faced with recession and reduced purchasing power will more than ever be looking for luxury, quality and comfort at the best prices. Buyers will find products offering the best price/quality ratio on the market at Texworld.

Wide open doors for young international designers. After having set up i TEX a very high-powered search service for products available at the Show (because it provides not only the source, composition and uses for particular fabrics, but price ranges and delivery times too) Texworld is continuing to provide specific services through attractive original activities: the promotion of young fashion school graduates and new designers.

This helps young designers and exhibitors or visitors from far-away countries lacking their own stylists and a grasp of western fashion to meet and make contact.

The Show opens its doors to creative young designers and offers them a free Designers & Fashion space so that they can all show their own collections of mens’, womens’ and children’s clothing or fashion accessories.

10 international designers have been selected on the basis of specific criteria: training, dynamism, creativity, the production of at least one first collection, and international ambition.

Come and seek out tomorrow’s talents!. Esmod Beijing, the stylists’ and designers’ college, will also be presenting its first wholly Chinese promotion and its work: some forty designs made using fabrics provided by Texworld’s exhibitors.
