Reflecting the renewed interest in them, gloves will be taking centre stage at the next Le Cuir à Paris, (April 15-16 2003), organiser SIC group says.
At the show, the projects of nine student designers from the French Fashion Institute’s Design course will be shown as part of a special display, co-sponsored by the French Leather Gloves Federation and glovemakers Agnelle, Ganterie de Saint Junien, Georges Morand, Gankos, Poujade and the Interprofessional Committee of Leather Industries (France).
