The event, scheduled to be held at the Sheraton Grand Lane Hotel, will provide a platform for industry leaders, buyers, designers, and members of the press to engage with the Turkish fashion industry's offerings.
IFCO's London showcase will serve as a precursor to its 9th edition at the Istanbul Expo Center from 4–7 February 2026.
The fair, organised by İTKİB Fuarcılık, a subsidiary of the Istanbul Apparel Exporters’ Association (İHKİB), has already established itself as a key event for fashion professionals, hosting over 3,000 exhibitors and attracting more than 195,000 visitors from 165 countries since its launch in 2022.
The fair brings together various industry segments, including womenswear, menswear, kidswear, leather, lingerie, shoes, and major Turkish brands. It also features dedicated sections such as IFCO Brands and IFCO Kids that underline the sector's diversity.
In addition to offering trade opportunity, IFCO provides insights into industry trends through seminars, expert panels, and daily fashion shows.
The fair plays a crucial role in supporting Türkiye's value-added export goals and in showcasing its design strength and production capabilities.
The Turkish apparel industry, representing approximately 3.5% of global exports, is recognised as the world's sixth-largest supplier and the EU's third-largest.
Its success is attributed to excellence in design, innovation, and branding that reaches retail points across more than 100 countries.
The upcoming edition in Istanbul will feature over 500 exhibitors across six halls and expects to attract over 35,000 visitors from over 100 countries.
Complementing the evening reception are B2B meetings organised by İHKİB between 20-23 October 2025.
These sessions aim to connect UK importers with Turkish manufacturers and exporters in key clothing segments.
A delegation comprising 25 companies including 15 apparel and 10 socks producers/exporters, will participate in these targeted encounters.
