From 2–4 February 2026, Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris will once again turn Paris-Le Bourget Exhibition Centre into a key meeting point for the global textile and clothing industry. Over three days, around 1,300 suppliers from some thirty major producing countries will present fabrics, finished products and solutions that will help shape ready-to-wear and luxury collections for the seasons ahead.

The 58th edition of the show confirms Paris’s strategic position as a capital of fashion, sourcing and creativity, and underlines the continuing importance of European markets in global demand. As a genuine barometer of the international textile industry, Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris will bring together fabric makers and garment manufacturers from across the world, offering buyers a broad spectrum of know-how and product levels.

Development of Spring–Summer 2027 collections will be a central theme in discussions between exhibitors and visitors. Creative directions will be guided by the show’s artistic directors, Louis Gérin and Gregory Lamaud, through dedicated forums and curated selections. Sustainability and supply chain traceability will also be in sharp focus, with specific itineraries, conference programmes and the Texpertise Econogy tools developed by Messe Frankfurt to help identify responsible innovations and partners. The Econogy Finder, Econogy Talks and Econogy Tour will highlight practical pathways towards more sustainable and transparent production, while the Econogy HUB, located between Halls 2 and 3, will showcase the initiatives of the show’s partners.

While the event remains concentrated in Halls 2, 3 and 4, Messe Frankfurt France has reworked the internal layout to create a more intuitive visitor journey. The aim is to allow buyers to move between fabrics and finished products in a continuous flow and to optimise their time on site.

The Apparel Sourcing area dedicated to women’s wardrobes (All about her) and Texworld’s knit offer will relocate to Hall 3 alongside the national pavilions. In Hall 4, Texworld’s Activewear sector will sit next to the Casual and sport clothing area, and Print and Jacquard will be positioned closer to Silky Aspects, reinforcing the women’s ready-to-wear offer. Hall 2 will retain its role as the hub for trend forums, talks and services such as food and networking, and will also provide comfortable rest and meeting zones.

This new sector organisation is designed to strengthen synergies between Texworld and Apparel Sourcing exhibitors by grouping product worlds according to use and type. Buyers will be able to move more naturally from yarns and materials to accessories and finished product lines, making sourcing more efficient and inspiring.

Several popular features from previous editions will return. The Initiatives area, located at the entrance to the show, will spotlight craftsmanship and collective projects from industries or countries, as well as the textile identities and expertise of French and European training schools. It will give visitors a wider view of international talent and specialist skills. The Ready to Sell zone in Hall 2, close to the trend forums, will host a tightly edited selection of finished products chosen by the artistic directors. These proposals will help buyers quickly pinpoint collection ideas that match the creative trends of the coming season and are immediately available from exhibitors.

Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris belongs to a wider cluster of related trade fairs organised by Messe Frankfurt France, including Avantex and Leatherworld, which are held once a year in the September session. All events take place at the same location and on the same dates, with free entry for professional visitors on presentation of credentials. Together, they form a comprehensive sourcing and innovation platform for fashion and related industries.

Messe Frankfurt France is a member of Paris Capitale de la Création, which brings together leading events in fashion, design, art and the creative industries, confirming Paris as a key destination for all professionals working in these fields.
