Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris will return for its 57th edition at the Paris–Le Bourget Exhibition Centre from 15–17 September 2025, bringing together nearly 1,300 exhibitors from more than 35 countries. For the first time, the event will offer a balanced presence between textile manufacturers at Texworld and garment producers at Apparel Sourcing, creating Europe’s largest and most diverse sourcing platform.

The shows will showcase leading global players including China, Turkey, India, Korea, Taiwan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, alongside emerging sourcing destinations such as Cambodia, Vietnam, Rwanda, Egypt and Myanmar. A notable feature this year is the strengthened presence of Central and Eastern European manufacturers from Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, reflecting the growing importance of near sourcing.

Innovation and eco-responsibility will once again be at the forefront. The Avantex sector continues to expand, spotlighting digital solutions, sustainable materials, circularity and traceability, while the Avantex Fashion Pitch will reward start-ups driving sustainable development in fashion. The Initiatives zone will also highlight specialised expertise, with live demonstrations from Indian embroidery specialists, Turkish textile creators and LISAA Mode students presenting knit and crochet design.

Alongside sourcing, Texworld Paris will host a packed programme of conferences and debates, offering insights into regulatory shifts, circularity, natural fibres and the role of AI in design. The Nova Fabula trend presentation will guide Autumn-Winter 2026–27 collections, while the Bio Fashion Innovation Day on 17 September will bring together European initiatives in bio-sourced materials, local production and eco-design.

Sustainability remains central with the Econogy initiative, which combines ecology and economic growth. Visitors can identify certified exhibitors through the Econogy Finder, join dedicated guided tours, and attend talks focused on sustainable sourcing.

Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris, organised by Messe Frankfurt France, is part of a wider cluster of related fairs, including Avantex and Leatherworld, which take place during the same September session. Entry is free with professional credentials.
