· The 'Designers Gallery' featured award-winning creations of five European textile design graduates and winners of the Texprint competition held in the UK: Marie Brisou, winner of the weave category, Holy Marler, winner of the print category, Kanako Kajihara, winner for Breaking New Ground, Carla Wash, winner of the colour category and Nancy Kelly, winner of the knit category.
This Autumn, Interstoff Asia's highlighted two countries: Korea and Taiwan. The companies exhibiting under the 'Fabulous Korea' and 'Amazing Taiwan' pavilions attracted visitors with their latest collections.
Another new innovation at this year's show was the focus on 'eco-textiles'. In an effort to help buyers identify specific products, or exhibitors supplying eco-friendly products, booths were marked with special silver or green logos.
“We thought the idea of highlighting eco-textiles was excellent. It gives us the opportunity to better promote our range to buyers looking for these specific environmentally friendly products, and to stand out from the crowd," said Jessie Zhang of Shaoxing County Jiade Weaving and Dyeing of China.
The next Interstoff Asia will run from 22 – 24 March 2006 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre. For further information, please visit www.interstoff-asia.com, fax (852) 2598 8771 or e-mail textile@hongkong.messefrankfurt.com
