Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris will reaffirm its position as a strategic global sourcing platform with its 58th edition taking place at the Paris-Le Bourget Exhibition Centre from February 2-4 2026.

Bringing together more than 1,300 suppliers from around thirty leading producing countries, the show will once again act as a critical meeting point for the fabric producers, manufacturers and fashion brands shaping Spring-Summer 2027 collections.

A redesigned sector layout for the show represents a considered response to evolving buyer expectations, particularly the demand for efficiency, coherence and seamless discovery, in an increasingly complex sourcing environment. By reconfiguring the distribution of major sectors across Halls 2, 3 and 4, Texworld aims to create a continuous flow that allows professionals to move intuitively between fabrics, knitwear, accessories and finished garments. This strategic reorganisation groups complementary product categories in closer proximity, enabling more natural transitions between technical materials and end-product solutions, which in turn will strengthen commercial synergies between Texworld and apparel sourcing exhibitors

For B2B visitors, this shift reflects a deeper understanding of how sourcing decisions are now made. Buyers are increasingly seeking integrated solutions that balance creativity, performance and sustainability, and the new layout is structured to support this holistic approach. Activewear will sit alongside casual and sports clothing in Hall 4, while the women’s apparel focus and knits offer will be consolidated in Hall 3, with national pavilions reinforcing thematic coherence and streamlining the buyer journey.

Sustainability and supply chain transparency remain central to reinforcing the show’s function as a barometer for the international textile industry. Through its Texpertise Econogy framework, Messe Frankfurt highlights innovations and partners committed to more responsible production, with dedicated itineraries, talks and tools guiding visitors towards sustainable sourcing solutions. The Econogy HUB, strategically located between Halls 2 and 3, will act as a focal point for dialogue and knowledge exchange, showcasing concrete initiatives and collaborative actions that address the environmental and ethical challenges facing the sector

Complementing the structural changes are curated experience zones aimed at elevating the show’s value as a transactional platform. The Initiatives area will present craftsmanship and collective projects that highlight global textile identities and emerging expertise, while the Ready to Sell space will offer a refined selection of finished products aligned with future trend directions.

Within the broader context of global fashion sourcing, Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris continues to reaffirm the enduring influence of European markets and Paris’s role as a nucleus of creativity and strategic procurement. By aligning its physical design, content programming and sustainability agenda with the changing priorities of the industry, the exhibition will demonstrate how trade fairs can evolve from traditional showcases into intelligent, responsive ecosystems that actively support innovation, efficiency and responsible growth.

For brands, manufacturers and sourcing professionals, the 2026 edition signals a clear intent – to deliver not only access to global suppliers but an optimised environment where ideas, materials and market strategy converge. In doing so, Texworld strengthens its position as an essential B2B platform for those looking to navigate a more integrated, transparent and future-focused textile landscape.
