An international textile fair called the “Preview in Seoul 2016†hosted by the Korea Federation of Textile Industries kicked off in Seoul today to set the stage for trade between global textile and fashion companies and introduce the latest industry trends.
The textile fair brings 374 textile and fashion companies from 11 nations. It also attracted about 1,000 overseas buyers from popular fashion brands, including DKNY, Coach and J Crew.
The textile fair presents high-tech textile materials, spun thread, fabrics, clothing, shoes, bags and textile machinery.
The exhibition will connect manufacturers with overseas buyers through one-on-one consultation sessions, host seminars on the latest market trends and present a high-quality textile fashion show, the organizer said.
Trade Minister Joo Hyung-hwan in an opening speech said that the textile and fashion industry needs to promptly respond to the latest consumption trend and rising trades on mobile platforms. They have to foster globally competitive brands by reading the fast-changing trends and getting ahead of them through technology innovations and audacious challenges.
The textile fair will run three days until Friday at the Convention and Exhibition Center (COEX).
