Supporting Creative Textile Design

 

{mosimage} 

For over thirty years Texprint has been providing a highly respected platform to launch the UK’s most creative textile designers as they graduate from college.  Twenty four star designers are chosen by industry panels each year. They are then given their first industry showcase during Texprint’s two day ‘First View’ exhibition which is held in London during July.  As well as meeting with buyers and invited guests the designers also receive mentoring and business advice before they take to their stands at the prestigious and creative Indigo exhibition in Paris in September.

In recent year’s the First View exhibition has attracted high profile guests including Stuart Rose, CEO of Marks & Spencer; Christopher Bailey, Creative Director of Burberry and Donatella Ratti of Ratti SpA amongst many others. Texprint is a highly respected source for new creative talent and in the past year Texprint designers have sold to high profile names including Diane von Furstenberg, Lanvin and Christian Lacroix.
