\"Texworld<\/a> Here is a brief denim report on the Texworld<\/a> fair held in Paris from 14-17th September  .<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

The theme of the fair was  ECO-FRIENDLY TEXTILE Fair-trade. <\/strong>However, I  did not find this theme back in the stand of the exhibiters. Here are some points related to Denim that I noted in the fair..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The key players for denim were in the first place from  PAKISTAN<\/strong> and in less numbers from  India<\/strong> and Bangladesh<\/strong> and Vietnam<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. General trend was given to the DENIM FABRIC and less emphasis was given  to the washes!!!<\/li>\n
  3. Denim Mills \u00e2\u20ac\u201c some propositions: <\/li>\n

    ADM(Pakistan)<\/strong>: proposed the stretch comfort 360\u00c2\u00b0 <\/p>\n

    SOORTY(Pakistan)<\/strong>: had a good collection and was very aggressive   <\/p>\n

            in  selling.<\/p>\n

  4. Many exhibitors showed Tencel<\/strong><\/u>\/ Lycra and Polyester <\/strong>blended fabrics. However, for Fabrics blends with tencel the washers should pay special attention and be careful. A Special washing recipe is required ,but the representatives of tencel know the recipes and can support the washers if needed to overcome problems.<\/li>\n
  5. The fabrics are very soft ,good drape and slightly shiny<\/strong>, and not to0 heavy ( mainly around 11OZ).<\/li>\n
  6. Also visible were black denim<\/strong>  and color denim ( by  companies like Raymond UCO).<\/li>\n
  7. Prices of the denim<\/strong> fabrics were not a secret anymore, some of the Asian producers use it as an advertising picture!!<\/li>\n
  8. The heavy washes disappeared<\/strong> ,,, back to the dark and only rinsed washes.<\/li>\n
  9. There is a growth of 30% visible in the Asian denim market, but the European market is down for 20% as people are saying..May not be exact figures but indicative of the trends.<\/li>\n
  10. Some other denim fabric types\/finishes noted :New faded organic wool\/cotton blends\/ natural dyes\/ waxy cottons Black magic\/ glossy techniques\/ rubber coating\/ perfect bi stretch\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.
