?FATEX 2012 higher quality than ever before

Thanks to Eurovet’s rigorous, in-depth selection process, this 2012 show was a hit with buyers due to its exhibitors’ expanded range of high fashion products. This session’s exhibitors included more and more shapes, colours and materials influenced by global trends in their collections, branching out from the more basic pieces offered when first starting out. Several exhibitors showcased attractive products such as exclusive designs, stunning finishings (such as perforated leatherette, silk lace and coloured, creatively crafted faux fur) as well as new materials for accessories. FATEX exhibitors are becoming increasingly specialised, which in turn attracts higher-end buyers.

While India continues to lead the way in cotton and silk tops and shawls, not forgetting its embroidery, which is always a big draw for buyers, its exhibitors have now also successfully branched out into denim.

Confirming the study on global sourcing by the Fédération de la Maille et de la Lingerie unveiled at Zoom in February, Bangladesh successfully played to its economic advantages, presenting a more comprehensive home textiles offer that attracted a lot of business and was a hot topic at the show.
