From 15 to 17 September 2025, the 57th edition of Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris will bring together 1,300 manufacturers from over 30 countries at the Paris-Le Bourget Exhibition Centre, reinforcing its status as a premier global sourcing event for fashion and textile professionals.
Occupying Halls 2, 3, and 4, the co-located events—Texworld Paris, Apparel Sourcing Paris, and Avantex—will offer buyers a panoramic view of the global textile and apparel ecosystem, covering everything from raw fabrics to finished fashion, with a strong focus on sustainability, technology, and sourcing proximity.
Curated Excellence at Texworld Paris
With nearly 600 exhibitors, Texworld Paris will spotlight textile leaders from China, Türkiye, India, South Korea, and Taiwan. The Elite Area returns with premium suppliers vetted for their quality, responsiveness, and logistics. Alok Industries (India) will debut in this space, showcasing high-end cotton fabrics for menswear.
The Denim sector, strategically placed between Texworld and Apparel Sourcing in Hall 4, continues to gain momentum with 30 dynamic global players displaying fabric and finished denim innovations.
Initiatives Zone: A Creative Showcase
Building on its February debut, the Initiatives Zone at Hall 4’s entrance will display live craftsmanship from LISAA Mode fashion students and creative techniques from exhibitors like Pasari Textiles (India) and the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce. The China Textile Innovation Center (CTIC) will feature cutting-edge work from emerging Chinese designers.
Apparel Sourcing: Expanding Horizons
With a leap from 465 to 600 exhibitors, Apparel Sourcing Paris reflects a shifting global sourcing landscape. Exhibitors from China, India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan will anchor the show. The Sustainable Pakistan Pavilion introduces ten socially responsible companies.
Also featured are manufacturers from Cambodia, Myanmar, Rwanda, Vietnam, and Egypt, reaffirming the return of diverse sourcing geographies to the European market.
Near Sourcing Takes Center Stage
A dedicated Near Sourcing Hub in Hall 3 will highlight growing interest in Central and Eastern European suppliers, featuring Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Serbia, Romania, Czech Republic, Portugal, Greece, and Italy. Products will be linked via QR codes to the FourSource digital platform for real-time B2B connectivity.
“This edition mirrors the changing shape of global supply chains,” says Julien Schmoll, Marketing & Communication Director at Messe Frankfurt France, pointing to trends like the rise of near sourcing, tech-enabled production, and diversified sourcing strategies.
Avantex: Fashion Meets Innovation
Expanding rapidly, Avantex will host 30 companies delivering futuristic fashion solutions. Highlights include NIL Textile’s 100% bio-based PLA T-shirt, T-Fashion’s AI design platform, and Materra’s Cotton-as-a-Service model, winner of the 2024 Avantex Fashion Pitch.
The event also features three days of conferences and keynotes, exploring circularity, eco-materials, AI, consumer trends, and EU regulations. A key highlight is the Bio Fashion Innovation Day (17 Sept), curated by TCBL, focused on local production and eco-design.
Startups can still apply for the Avantex Fashion Pitch until 15 July 2025, with the finale judged by a distinguished international jury and held in partnership with IFA Paris and the Texpertise Network.
