Ok I'm not sure how much feedback I'll get regarding this but I am going to hedge my bets and hope a designer amongst SZ can help me out on this one (Zamb?).
I'm thinking perhaps heading to Japan/and or Europe this year to head to a Fabric and Textile tradeshow/s so that I can get access to new and amazing fabrics (lux jerseys, leathers, etc etc). Anyone on here been to any? Premiere Vision in Paris for example or similar?
Are these trade shows geared towards larger established designers/companies? I am hoping to source better fabrics than the ones I have access to atm. Yes I am small, and yes I will be dealing on low-volume. The latter will always be the case, by choice. I dont want to go to a large commercial trade gathering with all the factories and mills from china to wherever setting up stall hoping to get business. I am after lux fabrics, unique fabrics. Im guessing the Damir Domas, the CCP's the Miharayasuhiros etc go to these shows to acquire their fabrics. Please don't shoot me down for being ignorant or such, this is a forum I am merely seeking help, as perhaps some of you may have asked this question at one point in time.
