(Filed Under Fashion News). Material World Miami Beach has served the apparel industry as a global resource for sourcing, fabric, trim, trends and technology for ten years. The upcoming show in April will feature new introductions and innovations from leading global companies, the company said.

“For ten years, Material World has successfully delivered the one-stop global fashion production, supply chain and technology event designed for U.S., Canadian and Latin American industry members,” said Tim von Gal, president of Material World and Technology Solutions. “For the April 2009 Miami Beach edition, we’re tapping into some of the most important and fastest growing areas in the apparel supply chain industry today.”

The new focus categories include: MW Fabric and Trim; MW Source; MW Equip; MW Delivers; and MW Performance. In addition, the Miami Beach trade event is continuing to emphasize “green” products. Attendees will be able to explore fabrics made from renewable resources such as organic cotton, bamboo soy and Ingeo corn fiber.

“We are working closely with our alliance partner AAFA (American Apparel & Footwear Association) to bring the best possible product representation and educational programming to support these and other growth areas in order to arm Material World attendees with the best tools and strategies they’ll need to thrive and prosper in today’s challenging economic environment,” adds von Gal.

“Our industry is changing at blinding speed today,” said Kevin M. Burke, president and CEO of AAFA. “To be successful in high growth marketplaces and delivering sought after product requires knowledge, education and most importantly, partnership. Material World and Technology Solutions offer a venue to take advantage of all three.”

Material World will be held April 21st through the 23rd at the Miami Beach Convention center. Also, as reported in BODY in June 2008, Material World West will debut September 30, 2009 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
