PRESS RELEASE This 34th edition of ModAmont has had its dates changed, it will now take place from Wednesday September 19 to Friday September 21, 2012. 297 exhibitors will present their collections of trimming and supplies for the FallWinter 13/14 season. While the market and economic environment remain unsteady, the trade show will host a comparable and even larger offer than in 2008 (reminder: there were 291 exhibitors in February 2008 and 302 in September). We also appreciate the return of former exhibitors who have not participated in the show in recent seasons (Coespunt / Completex, DA.RI.FUR, Dentelles Michel Storme, Dora, Haco Etiquetas, Henri Grüber, Labeltex, Scavini, Yves Salomon). We also note the reinforced presence of fur suppliers: there are no less than 8 fur exhibitors : Ardigo Roberto (IT), DA.RI.FUR (IT), Henri Grüber (FR), Rinfreschi (IT), Salisbury (AT), Siozos (GR), Jean Terzakou (FR), Yves Salomon (FR). Fur will be an important trimming this season. This high-level offer confirms the desire of companies to reinforce their international momentum commercially and open up to new markets in this difficult period. In this context, ModAmont confirms its role as a leader in the trimming market. 24 new exhibitors will make their appearance this season. Among them are 3 producers of sewing threads. These industry leaders will reinforce an offer that has not been very present at the show up to now: Amann (FR), Cittadini (IT) and Gunold (DE). In keeping with a desire to develop the offer of costume jewelry components which now represents 15% of the exhibitors, we note the arrival of 3 exhibitors in this sector: GSM (IT) offers rhinestones and stones from the Czech company Preciosa, Lartigianabottoni (IT) presents jewelry and trimming in resin or molded plastic and Shine Art (KR) specializes in sew-on stones, jewelry settings and rhinestones.

Inspired by the world of showy tales, sublime legends, Art Nouveau influences and a collaboration with artist and jewelry designer Tzuri Gueta… this forum will cast its spell over you! PRESS RELEASE - SEPT 12 18 TZURI GUETA Designer, artist, craftsman, scientist, explorer, Tzuri Gueta is a hard man to label. TZURI GUETA After earning a degree in textile engineering at Shenkar College in Israel, Tzuri Gueta arrived in Paris in 1996 and went to work for Trend Union, a trend forecasting agency founded by the legendary priestess of style Li Edelkoort. Then he met Thierry Mugler. It was the first step on the way to success and a real interchange developed between the two men. Since then, there have been many fruitful collaborative projects with the Haute Couture industry including the fashion houses of Christian Lacroix, Jean Paul Gaultier, Givenchy, Dior, Armani and lately Chanel and Issey Miyake. At the same time Gueta pursued his quest for material. One encounter was to prove particularly decisive: silicone. It quickly became his material of choice. He invented a technique that he called “lace fed with silicone” and took out a patent for the method. Spurred on by this impetus, he founded, with a jewelry designer, Caroline Auraix, a company, Silka Design, and began to produce his own line of jewelry made of a mixture of textile and silicone. These pieces were imbued with such an innovative spirit that they almost immediately won over designers at the vanguard of fashion as well as venues dedicated to artistic creation, such as the Printemps du Design boutique at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the MoMA store in New York. But the sensitive, organic and futuristic world of Tzuri Gueta is not restricted to textiles and fashion. With the designer Tony Jouanneau, the multi-faceted artist’s explorations in design earned him the Grand Prix de la Création awarded by the City of Paris; and the adventure continued into the territory of art with a one-man exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Modern Art. The latest of Tzuri Gueta’s many hats to date is that of gallery owner. To celebrate his tenth year in France, Gueta is opening his own workshop cum gallery under the arches of the Viaduc des Arts a prestigious place that is sure to continue to spark enthusiasm.
