Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris is set to return for its 57th edition at the Paris–Le Bourget Exhibition Centre from 15 to 17 September 2025. For the first time, the fair will present a perfect balance between textile manufacturers (Texworld) and clothing producers (Apparel Sourcing).
This edition will feature nearly 1,300 exhibitors from over 35 countries, making it Europe’s largest and most diverse sourcing platform for textiles and apparel. Over three days, buyers will explore an unparalleled range of products across key garment categories that brands are focusing on.
The Avantex sector, dedicated to sustainable and innovative solutions, will further strengthen its position with more B2B services addressing fashion’s pressing challenges, from eco-responsibility to technological transformation.
Key sourcing hubs include China, Turkey, India, Korea, Taiwan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, showcased through national pavilions. Emerging sourcing regions such as Cambodia, Myanmar, Rwanda, Vietnam, and Egypt will also be highlighted. Apparel Sourcing will welcome 683 exhibitors, equalling Texworld in scale this year, underscoring its significance for buyers. Near-sourcing prospects are reinforced with manufacturers from Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, alongside European companies present for the first time thanks to Foursource’s Near Sourcing Hub.
The Initiatives zone, located at Hall 4, will showcase unique expertise. Highlights include artisanal embroideries by Pasari Textiles (India), contemporary Turkish creations presented by the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce, live knit and crochet demonstrations by LISAA Mode students, and innovative design showcases by the China Textile Innovation Center (CTIC).
Avantex Paris will gather about thirty participants showcasing technologies and materials tackling key fashion challenges such as circularity, transparency, traceability, scalability, and immersive virtual experiences. The event will be organized into three hubs: the HUB (innovative solutions), the Designer HUB (textile studios and designers), and the ReSources space (featuring TCBL-selected companies). Visitors will access digital content via QR codes linked to the Foursource platform.
The Avantex Fashion Pitch, in its 8th edition, will spotlight startups driving sustainable innovation in fashion, supported by partners such as IFA Paris, VLGE, Luxiders Magazine, Circular Textile Days, and Texpertise Network.
A strong lineup of conferences and debates will enrich the event. Highlights include the unveiling of Nova Fabula, the Autumn-Winter 2026–2027 trend book, presented by art director Louis Gérin on September 15. Avantex’s agenda will feature discussions on innovation and future perspectives. On September 17, the Bio Fashion Innovation Day will explore bio-sourced materials, local production, and eco-design through keynotes, roundtables, workshops, and networking sessions.
