Article Rewrite

The article I chose is entitled “GlobalTex Marks First Anniversary As Buyers Seek Stretch.” It was featured on WWD and is intended for an audience of people who read WWD, who are familiar with the fashion industry, and who may be interested in what the trends are in textiles. The organizational model is in the journalism pattern with a detached tone not having a specifically strong feeling about anything in the article. The purpose of this article is to discover something. The writer has gathered ideas about what is going on in the textile industry, what types of fabrics are being bought and who is buying them. The writer is simply conveying this info to the readers. Here is a link to the article.


For those of you who love fashion and would like to someday become a designer yourself, here is a look into the trends of textiles. GlobalTex is fairly new textile fair that displays and sells the hottest new textiles for upcoming trends. It is important for new and old designers alike to research into what kind of textiles customers will be wanting and GlobalTex is a great place to start.

Many foreign mills who want to expand their companies display at GlobalTex in hopes of having created the hot textiles of the season. Many of the objectives for the textile companies to cater to designers is to be able to capture the tastes of many designers with the collections the mills bring to the show.

From the looks of the second annual GlobalTex fair, stretch is a very important attribute for designers for the upcoming seasons. Very tailored and strategic texture, as opposed to being distressed, are the types of textiles that are selling like crazy, according to one of the vendors.

Luckily, a lot of vendors know how to provide great quality to the buyers. The more innovative a vendor is, the more appealing it will be to the designer. The designers and buyers just need to know what they are looking for.
