A new feature to this show is the Innovation Zone; Head Fabric Forum Judge Alexa Dehmel has shifted through what was submitted & has been able to gather 5 of the most exciting concepts to present. A Pecha Kucha is a formatted presentation of 20 slides, a new slide turning every 20 seconds. 6 minutes 40 seconds of exposure, then onto the next idea! A busy session; stay around if you want to chat to the presenters - or visit them on stand: some are start-ups, some are developments from well known marques.
