The event will span 35,000m2 at the Istanbul Expo Center, where over 300 exhibitors will present a comprehensive display of the Turkish apparel industry, including womenswear, menswear, kidswear, denim, activewear, and footwear among others.
During the show, industry panels and keynote speeches will explore how the apparel sector is adapting to rapid digitalisation, with speakers examining the growing role of AI in design, production and retail.
Sustainable manufacturing and denim innovations are also set to feature, alongside insights into upcoming seasonal trends for Autumn/Winter 2027/28.
Additional sessions will address the evolving role of storytelling and brand building, as well as the ways in which fashion’s visual language is changing on runways, digital platforms and in retail spaces.
For the 2026 edition, IFCO has reimagined its creative showcase, THE CORE, moving away from traditional stands to a curated fashion installation at the entrance of the exhibition.
This installation will place a spotlight on the diversity and craftsmanship of Türkiye’s fashion sector.
Under the theme "ROOTED FORMS, SS27", 20 designers such as Belma Özdemir, Emre Erdemoğlu, Tuba Ergin, Özlem Erkan, and Sudi Etuz will present collections that interpret natural forms, mineral surfaces, and resilience through expressive total looks.
A newly redesigned Menswear Area in Hall 4 will highlight Turkish expertise in tailoring and smart casual wear, with a focus on flexibility and product quality.
The area will also feature a Sustainability section, where exhibitors will demonstrate materials and manufacturing processes aligned with the European Green Deal, Digital Product Passport (DPP), and other traceability and certification initiatives.
This year, IFCO also expands its Denim Area with participation from manufacturers including Catch, Koza Denim, and 2Ypremium-Riches Paris.
The section will present collections alongside demonstrations of sustainable production techniques and innovative washing and finishing technologies.
In addition, the event will feature IFCO Fashion Shows, giving visibility to designers and Turkish brands, while a purpose-built B2B meeting hub will facilitate networking and business development between brands and buyers.
The 10th edition of IFCO Istanbul is expected to attract 20,000 trade visitors from more than 130 countries.
