Taiwan’s textile manufacturers have been organising delegations to participate in the SaigonTex Expo in recent years, and have set up the Taiwan Pavilion to display their Athleisure-suitable fabrics and accessories that are functional and fashionable. Together with the year-round online exhibition, it is the top choice for the international buyers to make one-stop purchases.
Under the pressure of modern living, the mixing of work, sports, and leisure has become the new lifestyle trend, which has given rise to the style of ‘Athleisure’ sports and leisure apparel. Athleisure combines sports functionality with casual comfort through chic designs that can be worn on all occasions for the trendiest looks. Materials suitable for Athleisure wear have been developed as a result, such as fabrics with odour-control, antibacterial, UV-resistant, water repellent, and wicking functions, as well as other accessories, like reflective sticker strips and jacquard labels.
By responding to the needs of global apparel brands and Athleisure lifestyle, Vietnam's textile industry, coupled with the research and development capabilities and the sustainable and innovative materials of the Taiwan textile industry, can provide resources for the upgrading and transformation of Vietnam's clothing industry. In the future, cooperation between the two sides will complement each other's industries and create a win-win situation for both countries.
