The SPL Fashion Garment has been developing since 1999, particularly through the link between L’ Institut Mode Mediterranée and the textile SPL club. Since September 1st, 2003 it entered in its active phase with its portage by The Chambre Syndicale de l’Habillement and the setting up of a running and activity function.
