Texworld Paris normally brings together, twice a year in Paris, around 1500 exhibitors from the fashion industry. But with Covid-19 and travel restrictions, Messe Frankfurt France came up with innovative alternative solutions for the fashion industry.

Buyers visited the products and had live chat with manufacturers in Bangladesh and sent their inquiries. They displayed the products on the virtual showroom for showcasing for 6 months after the show.
