Messe Frankfurt France to support Tunisian fashion event

Messe Frankfurt France has offered support to the Tunis Young Fashion Designer Festival, an event organised by the Tunisian Clothing Manufacturing Group (CONECT), to increase interaction and business between Tunisian manufacturers and international players.

The event to be held on May 19, 2016 in Gammarth, Tunisia, will feature conferences for current and future collaborations between the European clothing industry and Tunisian manufacturers along with networking meets for professionals in the lingerie, beachwear, jeans, sportswear, womenswear, leather goods, shoe and jewelry sectors.

The day long festival will conclude with fashion shows displaying collections by emerging Tunisian designers, international designers, and Italian swimwear designers.

“Messe Frankfurt France recently committed itself to encouraging the promotion of Tunisia’s clothing and textile offer as part of Apparel Sourcing Paris and also locally by supporting different promotional actions that emphasize business synergies between Europe – especially the North – and the Tunisian clothing and accessories industry,” said Michael Scherpe, president, Messe Frankfurt France.
