Colombiatex de las Américas unveils theme, Brazil guest nation

The Colombiatex de las Américas, the most important trade showcase of the textile-garment sector, in Latin America will begin on January 23, 2018 in Mendellin, Colombia, with the theme ‘Open Your Eyes’. It will be a three-day affair. More than 550 national and global exhibitors and nearly 15,800 buyers are expected to open the business agenda at the event.

The 30th edition of the show will be a stage to link supply and demand chains of the textile-garment sector. It will offer places for interaction, business, fashion, and knowledge.

Brazil has been invited as the guest country of the event to empower the fashion system, get acquainted with the Colombian offer, and generate new opportunities.
The event will have a Graphic Market, where the artistic talent of graphic designers will be highlighted. This innovative place will seek the best proposals of 60 designers who may apply through an open invitation led by Inexmoda.

Techno Space, a stage dedicated to demonstrate technology and the latest developments in textiles and machinery, will also be a part of this show. It is meant for the visitors who want to seek prospective innovation throughout the sector.

Visitors will get a chance to discover the ‘Trends Forum’, a place that will serve as a roadmap for buyers at the event. It will display various supplies and textiles to set the Spring-Summer 2018 trends, and will facilitate the journey through commercial showcase.

Also, Inexmoda’s Fashion Lab and allied companies will share informative lectures, conferences and practical workshops on textile concepts of the season in order to share knowledge with the visitors.

To honour denim and its various innovations, the organisers will celebrate ‘Denim’s Day’ on the second day of the event. They have invited Colombians to visit the fair wearing their best denim look.
