After the success of previous years, there is to be an 18th Fashion and Textile fair in Latvia. Formerly known as the Intertextile Balticum the event will be held at Kipsala International Exhibition Centre on 19-21 April 2013 in Riga and is titled ‘Fashion & Textile 2013’.
Organised by International Exhibition Company BT 1 the fair is receiving much support from the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia, the Association of Textile and Clothing Industries and the Diplomatic Economic Club.
As with preceding years the event will host an international conference with the aim of promoting growth in the textile industry, spotlighting advances in technology and including natural and ecological fabrics and focussing on environmental awareness. There will be many opportunities for international business contact and information sharing.
To promote young fashion designers there will also be a competition held on the first day called “Habitas Baltija”. This event will bring together fashion designers, fashion design school representatives and fashion industry professionals from across the Baltic States, UK, Russia and the Nordic region which will create an unparalleled opportunity for young up and coming designers.
