On the 24th of October at the Shanghai International Convention Centre Winners of the Fabrics China Creation 2006 (FCC) awards were announced at a Ceremony and Catwalk Show, covered nationally by fashion and textile media and attended by global industry leaders with an interest in Chinese fashion.
The awards, supported by Australian Wool Innovation Limited (AWI), were jointly organised by China Textile Information Centre, China Textiles Development Centre and China Fashion Colour Association. Fabrics China Creation is one of the most highly regarded professional competitions in the Chinese textile industry.
AWI's support for FCC, aims to encourage innovations in the field of textile fabric and pattern design within the Chinese textile industry.
The awards promote Australian Merino wool to those likely to be creating the next fashionable textile, or the next catwalk style garment.
860 finalists were selected from over 2540 entrants who included manufacturers, designers and students from 17 universities across China; the finalists paraded their pieces in front of the FCC 2006 judging panel, including Mr Jimmy Jackson, Regional Manager Asia at AWI.
Mr Jackson said, “By supporting FCC we are supporting a host of professionals that are interested in innovation within the Chinese textile and design industry; we are promoting the benefits of Australian Merino wool ensuring all are aware of the versatility of the fibre.”
The annual FCC serves as a platform not only for the communication between designers and producers, but also for the contact between suppliers and buyers.
