Trade min, fashion companies discuss establishing fashion council

CAIRO - 29 May 2018: Trade and Industry Minister Tarek Kabil held a plenary meeting with representatives of Egyptian fashion and jewellery companies to discuss an initiative on establishing the first Egyptian fashion council.

The step is meant to restore Egypt's international position in the field of textiles and ready-made clothes, Kabil said in a statement on Tuesday.

This will help Egypt participate in international fashion weeks that are held annually in various world cities.

Egypt plans to hold a fashion week by 2020, he noted.
