After the success of its maiden edition, the International Textile Fair (ITF) is set to return to Dubai for its second season on 11th & 12th October 2015 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. This season, the International Textile Fair, which is UAE’s exclusive trade show for fashion and textile, is creating an atmosphere that will inspire both exhibitors and visitors attending the fair. ITF provides a premier platform for the global fashion, home and industrial textile companies, giving them the opportunity to cater to the local market and reach out to the emergent textile industry in Gulf area. It also allows visitors to access the top international suppliers of textile in multiple product categories. ITF have landed a cluster of prominent exhibitors and as the fair draws closer, the excitement and anticipation of the exhibitors – keeps on increasing. The ITF will be held in Dubai, but its specter will resonate across the globe. With exhibitors hailing from virtually every continent, the fair has truly become a global phenomenon.
Now in its third edition, the fair will once again serve as a crossroads for textile companies and fashion houses from around the world. For a roster that already includes the crème de la crème of the textile industry, ITF has been relentless in its pursuit of achieving textile versatility; signing exhibitors from Central Asia and Singapore, Hong Kong, etc. ITF will welcome 96 exhibitors from across five continents. TEXMAS, the textile merchants group that represents 800 Dubai textile traders is one of the supporters of the ITF show. The keynote speakers from London, Dubai, and France will be in attendance at ITF, speaking on topics as diverse as sustainability in fashion (reducing environmental impact of the industry), to the emerging swimwear market in the Middle East.
The fair might be just a few weeks away, but that hasn’t hampered companies from rekindling their association with ITF. Chh America Inc., Bombardo S.A, Mass Intimates Pvt. Ltd, E.U Design and 3D Concept International are just a few names from the slew of new exhibitors. The media coverage of the fair is another highlight of ITF, with media channels across Europe, Asia, and the Australian subcontinent covering ITF for readers across the globe. Pakistan Textile Journal is also one of the media partners of ITF Dubai.ITF provides a fulfilling experience not only for the visitors, but for the exhibitors too. Taroni Silks Co. (Italy) are one of the frequent exhibitors at the ITF, and according to them, rightly so. “We were very happy with our first fair, as we found many interesting new clients and also representation. We decided it was opportune to build on top of that and continue our path to growth in this market.” As the build-up to the fair gains momentum, it is already discernible that the upcoming edition of ITF, like its predecessors, will be a memorable one.
