Survey of the European Fabric Fairs for Autumn/Winter 2011/12

18 pages, published in Issue 148, December 2010   Report price: Euro 395.00; US$ 520.00

This update summarises the mood and trends at the European fabric fairs for autumn/winter 2011/12. The author of the report visited Prima Moda Tessuto, Munich Fabric Start, Milano Unica, Première Vision Pluriel and Texworld, where she interviewed exhibitors and found out first-hand which trends were proving to be the most popular. The mood at this season’s fairs was more optimistic compared with the atmosphere a year before. Two factors appear to be working in European fabric manufacturers’ favour. First, there appears to be a growing appetite for European luxury goods in certain developing markets which have the disposable income to pay for them, and second, fabric buyers working for European clothing producers have been switching some of their sourcing away from Asian mills to suppliers nearer home.

This is what our customers say: "In 1987 I was working as a graduate-trainee in the buying teams at Marks & Spencer in London. I was asked to prepare a paper on the textile and clothing industry in Italy. In my search for information I discovered Textile Outlook International. The quality of information that this publication provided was nothing short of excellent. As I look back over the past 25 years, there have been several times that I've turned to the publications of Textiles Intelligence. They have always been of the highest quality and provided me with the opportunity to talk with confidence about the global textile & clothing industries. Today, I'm the Chief Supply Office for Umbro, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nike Inc. As I look back, of course there are many factors that have helped me to get to where I am today. I've no doubt that the information provided by Textiles Intelligence has been a contributory factor." (Peter G Allison; Chief Supply Officer; Umbro International Limited)
