Katty Fashion at AVANTEX Paris 2025: Innovation, Collaboration, and the Future of Fashion

Katty Fashion proudly participated in AVANTEX Paris 2025, one of the most important international trade shows for sustainable and forward-looking fashion. Showcasing our zero-waste and bespoke manufacturing solutions, we were honoured to be selected by TCBL for the ReSources Podium, alongside other pioneers driving change in textiles and clothing.

As a proud member of the TCBL (Textile & Clothing Business Labs) network, we deeply valued the chance to connect with like-minded companies, exchange ideas, and explore collaborations that will help shape a more sustainable fashion industry.

“The TCBL network made us realize that we are not alone – together we can push the boundaries of sustainable fashion,” said Caterina Ailiesei, Founder of Katty Fashion.

A highlight of our participation was the Day 3 roundtable discussion on bio-based materials and the future of fashion, hosted by Messe Frankfurt. You can watch the full talk on Messe Frankfurt’s YouTube channel

During the three-day event, Katty Fashion’s team not only presented its own sustainable manufacturing practices but also learned from others’ breakthroughs. By engaging with cutting-edge textile and fashion companies and established innovators, we gained fresh perspectives on topics like textile recycling, bio-based fabrics, and supply chain transparency. These interactions have sparked ideas for new R&D projects and reinforced Katty Fashion’s belief that open collaboration is key to a greener, more efficient fashion industry.

Potential clients and partners visiting the Katty Fashion stand were able to see first-hand how the company’s agile, on-demand production model using 3D prototyping solutions and zero-waste strategies can add value to their collections. Many remarked on the advantage of working with a manufacturer that is both highly experienced and relentlessly innovation-driven, qualities Katty Fashion has honed through its 20+ years in business and active involvement in initiatives like TCBL.

AVANTEX reaffirmed our belief that innovation thrives through collaboration. We return inspired and motivated to turn the ideas and partnerships sparked in Paris into concrete projects for our clients and partners.
