Apparel Sourcing Paris will be held September from 16 to 19, 2019. The event will foster exchange of ideas and allow both visitors and exhibitors to compare information about current trends. This is the biggest trade fair in Europe for sourcing clothes and will host over 700 exhibitors from all over the world. The offer encompasses all the markets for women’s, men’s and children’s ready-to-wear. This covers knitwear, dresses and blouses, tailoring, sportswear, evening wear, outerwear, made-to-measure, lingerie and swimwear, work wear and textile accessories.
The September edition will mark Turkey’s return. The exhibition is also expecting participation by countries which traditionally attend Apparel Sourcing, such as China, which accounts for the main contingent coming to the show from overseas, and Hong Kong, a hub for business with China. However, it will also welcome India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, in addition to Ethiopia. Cambodia will have artisan and classic products on display, such as dresses, tunics and traditional scarves.
There will be a series of lectures on changing markets and topical issues such as clothes sourcing in Vietnam, a supply region which is expanding, and financing for fashion labels. In addition, the agenda includes live catwalk shows and presentations of collections by Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Chinese, Cambodian and Ethiopian delegations.
