One of the features of this edition of ISEA has been the support of the Council of Textile & Fashion. This is an industry body which exists to promote the growth of the industry in Australia. It helps members strengthen their local and off-shore supply chains.
It's a not for profit organisation with 65 years of service to the industry, and members are drawn from across the fashion and textile industry.
Its focus areas are growing exports, navigating start ups, harnessing innovation, helping supply chains get globalised in order to optimize and supporting ethical practices. It supports and guides local industry to help grow their business.
Key supporting activities are training networks, organizing workshops and seminars, tailored and accredited training.
Among its other initiatives are setting industry policy and showcasing emerging designers. It gives an immense opportunity to young budding designers to showcase in this very progressive nternational show.
It connects with international industry and potential collaborators and adds a lot of academic value to the event. The council conducted three academic sessions in the seminar section in the following order. One was conducted on the first day of the show and the remaining two were lined up for the last day.
