In a joint statement issued here on Monday, PRGMEA regional chairman Sohail A.Sheikh and Chief Coordinator Ijaz A. Khokhar observed that this is another initiative of PRGMEA, becoming the first trade body from Pakistan to participate on self-finance basis in a digital textile show and use this worldwide technological fashion industry platform for B2B matchmaking. Both the exporters as well as the importers are now reluctant to travel abroad and attend ‘physical trade exhibitions’ and explore market.

Ijaz Khokhar, who is also the Regional President of International Apparel Federation(IAF), said that owing to Covid-19 all trade shows are cancelled, so marketing trends have now moved to Digital Exhibitions.

At the virtual show, companies can display all kinds of garments for Men, Women, Juniors and Children. It offers an opportunity for Pakistan to boost its exports to as well as revive the closed manufacturing capacity.
