Creativity as Economic Potential

Having to adjust, like many other textile-producing countries, to a cosmopolitan fashion market that is changing at a headlong pace, Egypt sees promoting young fashion designers, textile managers and technicians as an opportunity.

The clientele increasingly expects high processing and finishing standards, good fitting and clothes that look ‘trendy’.
