The special highlight of the Yarn, Fabric & Accessories Trade Show (YFA) show to be held from November 23 to 26, this year will be the Denim Zone. The zone will see 20 top Indian denim fabric makers exhibiting their denim innovations. Another the highlights would be ‘YFA Talent’, a fashion designing contest for upcoming talent from leading fashion designing institutes. The organizers have also arranged a conference in association with TIT-Bhiwani and the Textile Association of India (TAI).

One more initiative is Titoba, an alumni meet with a gathering of more than 800 top industry professionals in association with TIT Bhiwani and also the Textile Association of India (TAI). There will also be a special Chinese Pavilion where around 40 Chinese exhibitors will showcase yarns, fabrics and garment accessories. WGSN, the global authority on fashion trends will be the Trend Partner and will also be putting up a Pavilion.

In the 2015 edition, the show had as many as 100 exhibitors and more than 7,477 visited the show. For the upcoming show, the organizers expect over 250 brands from many countries and more than 15,000 visitors, who too are expected from 15 countries. Their optimism stems from the fact that with still more than 100 days to go, nearly 80 per cent of the space has already been booked mainly driven by returning exhibitors who have booked bigger stalls having got good results at the last edition.

All this has led to the organizers doubling the exhibition space from one hall in 2015 to two halls for the 2016 edition, which will feature products from fibres to yarns to fabrics and finally accessories. The event will attract renowned suppliers from in these four segments.

The fair is being organised by Vision Communications, supported by the Northern India Textile Mills Association (NITMA) along with AEPC (Apparel Export Promotion Council), TA(I) (Textile Association of India), PDEXCIL (Power loom Development Export Promotion Council), CMAI (Clothing Manufacturers Association of India), FOHMA (Federation of Hosiery Manufacturers Association), NAEC (Noida Apparel Export Cluster), NITRA (Northern India Textile Research Institute), UP Apparel Exporters Association and PTA Users Association as supporting associations.
