The event aims to bring close to 250 textile industry professionals to the city for an experience that will stretch the imagination, providing insights into future industry, retail and consumer trends as well as a unique networking platform.

The company will use the two-day forum to introduce its international clients to the new features of its best-known brand, Lycra fibre and the event will also offer attendees a privileged overview of industry trends for the next five years.

Invista also plans to invite recognised industry journalists and guest speakers from around the world who will share independent points of view regarding retail trends, consumer insights and other aspects of the business.

Denise Sakuma, Global Segment Director of Legwear at Invista, said: “The LYCRA fibre MOVES forum reflects Invista’s commitment to the leg wear industry, following on from the success of the inaugural event in Verona in 2009.

After two years of continuous R&D investment and exploring the upcoming trends of our sector, we are now ready to share our findings with clients, suppliers and professionals at an event that is going to be an inspiration for everyone”.

Invista says that LYCRA fibre MOVES will stretch the imaginations of all the attendees, allowing them to improve their businesses and navigate industry’s future. “It will also offer a unique opportunity to meet several professionals from all around the world, generating a myriad of networking opportunities over the course of the two-day forum”, Invista said in a statement yesterday.

The second LYCRA fibre MOVES will be held at the World Trade Centre in Barcelona at the end of September 2011, coinciding with ITMA (International Exhibition of Textile Machinery). Consuelo Bañon, European Marketing Manager of Legwear at Invista, added:

“Barcelona has an incredible textile history which makes the city an interesting and attractive location for us. Furthermore, it boasts both professional and cultural venues allowing us to offer a fulfilling experience to each one of our guests.”
