Next week’s Intertextile Shenzhen Apparel Fabrics and Yarn Expo Shenzhen, running from 11–13 June 2025 at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center (Futian), will spotlight sustainable and innovative textile solutions across the fashion industry. Held concurrently with PH Value and BIRD Fashion Fair, the events will serve as a hub for global suppliers and buyers, showcasing a broad range of fabrics, yarns, and garments.

The fairs’ fringe programme will emphasise environmental responsibility and technology-driven innovation, with over 30 seminar sessions across 15 forums, including the Intertextile Forum. This year’s theme, “Supply Chain Restructuring: Digital Intelligence-Driven Resilient Breakthrough,” reflects the industry’s need to adapt amid global economic shifts and policy changes.

Two debut zones, Fashion Gallery and The Closet, will enhance the experience. Fashion Gallery features ladieswear, functional wear, lingerie, and high-tech fabrics, while The Closet provides a creative platform for emerging designers. Key participants include AiDLab, the Nano and Advanced Materials Institute, and the Sustainable Fashion and Apparel Association (SFAA), with a particular focus on green fashion.
