Unfortunately, I can't give you any more info that that above. Even if I was in charge of coordinating the textiles for the different provinces - a pretty important job since if you chose the wrong colours the line would flop - I was not invited to these meetings since I was but an underling in the scheme of things.

The company owner was a member of the association and told me about it after such a meeting.

(Just as an aside, I did rather well since I am an avid reader and used to read all the fashion mags to get a feel for the colours. Best year they ever had apparently. O.K., o.k., I'll stop bragging now )
