At the Fashion Tech &amp; Trade Services zone, local company iGarment (HK) is showcasing its cloud-based Garment Management System that allows retailers to facilitate the handling of the whole production process. PAD System International Limited presents a system that combines pattern making, design and collaboration, allowing designers to access files from the cloud and digitise the whole design development process from pattern design and grading to marker planning.</td></tr><tr><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Various seminars are being held as part of the fair to bring participants up to date on the latest industry trends and technological developments. The first seminar today featured Michael Leow, Asia/Pacific Sales &amp; Marketing Head at leading fashion trend forecaster Fashion Snoops, who examined the upcoming trends for menswear, womenswear and accessories for the Autumn/Winter 2020/21 season, giving industry players a clearer idea of where the business opportunities will be.

She will talk about the business opportunities presented by her team’s work in developing infrared textiles that have insulating, germ-resisting and microcirculation-boosting capabilities.

In addition, Super X Sportswear Group will share its latest textiles produced using equilibrium technology that helps prevent falls and improve body balance. CRT Innovative Ltd will demonstrate its seamless bonding technology, which allows fabrics to be joined together without using stitching, helping to achieve optimum comfort for the wearer.</td></tr><tr><td> </td></tr><tr><td>The e-commerce trend continues to gather momentum, with the global value of online shopping expected to reach US$50 billion by 2020. To help the industry maximise the benefits of this trend, the “New Retail Era: Fashion x E-commerce Strategies” seminar on 10 July will bring together several industry leaders to examine e-commerce strategies.
