China RMG makers' first entry at Paris Show in Sept


China's clothing industry makes a debut appearance in Paris next September, with around 150 companies teaming up for a special trade fair in the world's fashion capital.

The Chinese apparel-makers are to show their cashmeres, silks and wool suits in a special China pavilion at the Texworld fabrics trade fair September 17-20, held on the heels of the city's twice-a-year ready-to-wear shows, which attracts tens of thousands of fashion types from across the globe.

"This is a new development," Michael Scherpe, who heads the trade fair owned by Germany's Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH, told AFP. "Paris is the centre of the textile and fashion trade."
