FastFashion Lille,the major event for the fast-fashion industry will take place on 28-29 November 2012 at the Lille Grand Palais and will consist of two shows:Tissu Premier,the international show for fashion fabrics and trimmings,and Collections,the international show for collections and accessories for fashion retailers.
These two complementary shows for fashion industry professionals will bring the entire fashion chain under one roof in northern France,one of the sector's major hubs.The theme of recycling and sustainable development,from waste sorting to new recycled materials,will be reflected in the programme of talks and events as well as in the forums,which will showcase green products selected from the collections of the show's 200 exhibitors.
Environmental issues are high on the agenda of retail chains,as well as being at the core of the development strategies of northern European brands,who will have a strong presence at the upcoming show.
Tissu Premier,the fashion fabrics and trimmings show dedicated to fast fashion clothing manufacturers with an emphasis on creativity,continues to expand its offer.Following the success of the June 2012 session most of our exhibitors will be returning in November to present their fabric collection updates for summer 13,new products for 13/14 and ideas for summer 14.
To date,around 100 textiles manufacturers have signed up to exhibit at the upcoming show,including 15 newcomers from Italy,Turkey,Belgium and France.A number of exhibitors will also be presenting fabrics that integrate eco,organic and/or fair-trade processes and materials.
