USPA NEWS - AVANTEX is an International Trade Fair dedicated to High-Technology Fabrics for Fashion and to Research in that field. Materials and Fabrics which combine nano-technology and cosmetics and surprising finishes and coatings.
It will be held at LE BOURGET-PARIS from 14 to 17 september 2015 alongside MESSE FRANKFURT FRANCE's TEXTILE TRADE FAIR. Will be also introduced later on AVANPRINT.

The compagnies attending AVANTEX must exhibit Fabrics which have at least three innovative functions and/or hold unpublished patents. Designers and Brands are very interested, which has given rise to the launch of a next Fair alongside TEXWORLD with its more traditional fabrics prized by Fashion Buyers, and Apparel Sourcing Paris, the number one Trade Fair for Global Garment Sourcing.
A Fashion Show will be scheduled, a melt of technological materials and Fashion. Also, a Seminar is also scheduled for anyone wanting information on developpement in this field. Those two events are confirmed and maybe some more to be confirmed.
