The autumn edition of Interstoff Asia Essential is set to return to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 25-27 September.

“As a well-known sourcing platform for the latest fashionable, functional and eco fabrics and garment accessories in the region, the fair has received many compliments on its product range and quality from visitors who have been to the previous editions,” said Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager at Messe Frankfurt (HK).

Fashionable

Featuring exhibitors coming from the leading fashion hubs in Asia, such as Hong Kong, Japan and Korea, Interstoff is well-known for revealing next season’s trends.

Fab Head from Hong Kong will showcase its denim fabrics featuring jacquard and flocked, and embossed pattern effects. Another exhibitor from the city, Poly Beauty Textile, new to the fair, will introduce its leading garment interlining brands such as Lan Mei Ren and Silk Poly, as well as its high-quality chiffon.

R&D Textile from Korea will bring its acetate / triacetate satin, crepe, printed, jacquard, knitted and marble linen fabrics for womenswear, while Uni Textile from Japan will offer its Japanese-made trendy printed and dyed woven / knitted fabrics.

Functional

POIZTEX, a new exhibitor from Korea, will demonstrate its achievements in this area at the fair. “We chose to join Interstoff because we want to explore the fashion trends in Hong Kong,” said Euna Bae, CEO.

“We will bring our nanoporous waterproof fabrics, which are light, soft and excel in keeping users warm in extremely cold environments, as well as our micro-pore dry membrane that offers excellent high-pressure water resistance,” she continued.

Eco-friendly

Environmentally friendly products will also be the feature at the show, and Shinnaigai Textile from Japan will make its debut appearance with their new botanical-dyed mélange yarns.

“We will demonstrate altogether 16 different colours at the fair. Among them, nine are using dyestuffs extracted from flowers while the other seven are from fruits,” said Mitsuhiro Yamada, the firm’s representative.

Other top eco product suppliers at the fair include Everest Textile from Taiwan and Jiangsu Xinkaisheng Enterprise Development from Mainland China.

Accessories

To make the product scope more complete, the fair has set aside an area for displaying garment accessories. Joining the Accessories Zone this year are several new exhibitors, such as KQQR Zippers from Hong Kong and Shantou Manlee Embroidery from Mainland China.

Other accessories exhibitors include Dongguan Xinxiangli Clothing Material Co Ltd, Buttons International Ltd, and many more. Products featured in this special zone are woven labels, embroidery webbings and various zippers and buttons.

Research and Education

Other than sourcing the latest fabrics and garment accessories, the fair is also well-known for promoting the most advanced technologies in the industry.

The Research and Education Zone will have a strong focus on eco-friendly dyeing processes. A new partner in this area, the Korea High Tech Textile Research Institute, will demonstrate the world’s first ever liquid ammonia processing technology for knitted fabrics, as well as its energy-efficient CPB dyeing system.
