Weaving the future! From February 2 to 4, 2026, Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris will reunite the global textile and apparel community at the Paris-Le Bourget Exhibition Center. Over three days, visitors will explore, compare and source from 1,300 suppliers shaping the next generation of collections, from ready-to-wear to luxury.
A Global Hub for Fashion Professionals
As a major indicator of the international textile market, the 58th edition will host more than a thousand exhibitors, fabric specialists and finished-product manufacturers from around 30 key producing countries. This wide representation reinforces Europe’s strong demand and confirms Paris as a strategic capital for fashion, sourcing and creativity.
The development of Spring-Summer 2027 collections will be a central theme. Artistic directors Louis Gérin and Gregory Lamaud will guide creative directions. Moreover, sustainability and supply chain transparency will receive stronger focus through dedicated itineraries, conferences and the Texpertise Econogy tools. These include the Econogy Finder, Econogy Talks and Econogy Tour, which will help buyers identify responsible innovations and partners. Located between Hall 2 and Hall 3, the Econogy HUB will highlight sustainable initiatives from show partners.
A Redesigned Sector Layout
Although the overall structure across Halls 2, 3 and 4 remains familiar, Messe Frankfurt France has redesigned the placement of major sectors. The aim is to help buyers move seamlessly through fabrics and finished products while optimizing their sourcing routes.
The Apparel Sourcing zone for women’s collections (All about her) and Texworld’s knitwear offer will shift to Hall 3, alongside several national pavilions. In Hall 4, Texworld’s Activewear sector will sit next to the Casual & sport clothing area. Meanwhile, Print and Jacquard will be positioned closer to Silky Aspects, further enriching the women’s ready-to-wear category. Hall 2 will stay dedicated to trend forums, talks, and service areas such as food zones and networking spaces.
An Enhanced Sourcing Experience
This new layout strengthens connections between different product categories. It allows buyers to move naturally from materials to accessories and finished products. As a result, navigation becomes smoother, and sourcing becomes more intuitive.
Feature Areas Highlighting Products and Expertise
Several well-received features return this season. The Initiatives area, located at the show entrance, will spotlight craftsmanship and collaborative industry projects. It will also showcase textile identities and the expertise of French and European training institutions.
The Ready to Sell zone in Hall 2 will display a curated selection of finished products chosen by the artistic directors. Buyers can quickly identify pieces aligned with seasonal trends and discover new collection possibilities. Together, these areas position Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris as both a practical sourcing platform and an inspiring, forward-thinking industry destination.
