摘要：The present article discusses the performance of the textile-clothing sector in Paraná and its specialized regional segments between 2000 and 2004. The study seeks to characterize the productive specialization and identify the existing stages of the textile-clothing chain in the State specialized regions. The article analyzes the changes in the sector structure and the elements composing the Local Productive Arrangements. The results show that the importance of the Paraná textile group has decreased after the cotton culture crisis in 1990, except for silk production that still resists despite little improvement. The clothing group has improved greatly, mainly concerning the so called “Fashion Corridor” in the north/northwest side of the State where we can find the most important jeans and cap producers in Brazil.
