Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris will return to the Paris-Le Bourget Exhibition Centre with more than 1,300 textile and apparel suppliers from around 30 manufacturing countries.
The 58th edition of the show positions Paris as a central sourcing hub, acting as a barometer for global textile demand. Exhibitors will include fabric producers and ready-made garment manufacturers shaping the next generation of collections, from mass market to luxury.
Creative direction for Spring-Summer 2027 will take centre stage, led by artistic directors Louis Gérin and Gregory Lamaud. Alongside trend development, sustainability and supply chain traceability will be key themes, supported by dedicated programmes such as Econogy Finder, Econogy Talks and the Econogy Tour.
The Econogy HUB, located between Halls 2 and 3, will highlight responsible production initiatives from partners and exhibitors.
Texworld Apparel redesigned layout
For 2026, Messe Frankfurt France has also redesigned the show layout to streamline the visitor experience. Buyers will be able to move more intuitively between fabrics and finished goods, addressing growing demand for seamless navigation.
Women’s apparel sourcing (All About Her) and Texworld’s knit offer will shift to Hall 3, joining major national pavilions. Activewear, casual and sportswear will be grouped in Hall 4, while Print and Jacquard will sit closer to Silky Aspects to strengthen the womenswear ready-to-wear offer. Hall 2 remains home to trend forums, roundtables, networking and services.
The revised structure is designed to improve the flow between product categories, linking materials, accessories and finished garments more naturally. Messe Frankfurt says the changes will create a smoother and more connected sourcing experience.
Popular features from previous editions will return, including the Initiatives area at the entrance, showcasing craftsmanship and collective projects from global industries and training schools.
The Ready to Sell area in Hall 2 will again offer a curated selection of finished products aligned with the season’s creative themes, enabling buyers to identify commercial-ready options at a glance.
These features help make Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris both a practical and forward-looking service platform as brands prepare for the SS27 season.
