ITA’s Interwoven ready for opening day as registration climbs
HIGH POINT — Registration for Interwoven Textile Fair is up over the same period last November as the home furnishings industry prepares to gather Nov. 17-19 for the fall event.
Presented by the International Textile Alliance (ITA), Interwoven is the only sourcing show in the U.S. dedicated to home textiles and leathe.
Alongside new collections, the three-day show will feature educational experiences and industry celebrations, giving buyers direct access to the materials, manufacturers and insights that inform their next collections and product assortments.
The Textile Hall of Fame induction on Tuesday, Nov. 17, will honor individuals whose contributions have helped shape textiles and home furnishings. Inductees include Harley Ferguson Shuford Sr., founder of Valdese Weavers and Century Furniture; Carole Sloan, founding editor of Home Textiles Today; and Meri Stevens, president and creative director of Waverly.
Other special features at this fall’s show include the Pavilion, along with the Trend Gallery and Member Product Spotlight Gallery on Floor 5.
Also, curated trend walks and the Future Snoops trend presentation will offer fresh perspectives on emerging design directions.
On Wednesday, Nov. 18, The Source at Interwoven, presented by HPXD and The Lifestyle Historian, will explore “The Craft and Commerce of Cloth.” This immersive educational experience will examine the history, craftsmanship, creativity and commerce behind textiles. Participants must register for Interwoven and purchase a separate ticket for The Source.
A new ITA Educational Foundation display in the Pavilion will highlight opportunities available to members and students.
