Under the pressure of modern living, the mixing of work, sports, and leisure has become the new lifestyle trend, which has given rise to the style of “Athleisure” sports and leisure apparel.
Due to the spread of the COVID-19, on-site exhibitions have been temporarily suspended. In response to the pandemic, the online exhibition of the “Textile Export Promotion Project” (TEPP)”, implemented by the Taiwan textile Federation, has been enhanced (project website:export.textiles.org.tw/en). Furthermore, in April 2020, innovative and unique products from Taiwanese companies suitable for the Vietnam market have been uploaded to the platform. Interested buyers are welcome to contact the manufacturers for inquiry, and are also welcome to meet the manufacturers for face-to-face discussions at the Vietnam Saigon Textile & Garment Industry Expo (SaigonTex 2020) from September 2nd to 5th this year.
Under the pressure of modern living, the mixing of work, sports, and leisure has become the new lifestyle trend, which has given rise to the style of “Athleisure” sports and leisure apparel. Athleisure combines sports functionality with casual comfort through chic designs that can be worn on all occasions for the trendiest looks. Materials suitable for Athleisure wear have been developed as a result, such as fabrics with odor-control, antibacterial, UV-resistant, water repellent, and wicking functions, as well as other accessories, like reflective sticker strips and jacquard labels.
Taiwan’s textile manufacturers have been organizing delegations to participate in the SaigonTex Expo in recent years, and have set up the Taiwan Pavilion to display their Athleisure-suitable fabrics and accessories that are functional and fashionable. Together with the year-round online exhibition, it is the top choice for the international buyers to make one-stop purchases.
By responding to the needs of global apparel brands and Athleisure lifestyle, Vietnam's textile industry, coupled with the research and development capabilities and the sustainable and innovative materials of the Taiwan textile industry, can provide resources for the upgrading and transformation of Vietnam's clothing industry. In the future, cooperation between the two sides will complement each other's industries and create a win-win situation for both countries.
