The fair offered a wide variety of apparel products and accessories, Cotton, MMF/Blended garments. Understanding the international favour, the fair saw a major shift from two piece outfits to the dress concept.

Some of the new initiative noticed during the fair was excessive use of satin and lycra, black and white prints in heavier fabrics like jacquards. While cotton voiles were trusted fabric, new fabric developments in viscose georgette are taking place.
In MMF, the shift is to heavier count polyester georgette. The garment presentation is in favour of long dress and mama size. Another shift which has been seen is the gradual shift from low budget to medium/high budget garments.
