The Winter 2026 show floor will bring together a robust international exhibitor lineup, featuring global pavilions and specialized sourcing areas designed to reflect the realities of today’s fashion supply chain. Buyers will get direct access to a wide spectrum of sourcing options — supporting everything from large-scale production to niche, sustainability-driven initiatives.
Specialty Sourcing Categories
Recognizing the demand for greater flexibility and responsible sourcing, Texworld NYC offers dedicated specialty sourcing categories to help buyers quickly identify the right partners.
Texpertise Econogy: A signature sustainability initiative that combines economy and ecology to spotlight exhibitors with certified eco-friendly and responsibly produced materials, helping attendees quickly find sustainable sourcing partners.
Deadstock: This curated area highlights surplus, reclaimed, and upcycled fabrics, giving buyers access to circular materials that support waste reduction and conscious design.
Small Quantity: Designed for emerging and independent brands, this sourcing category features suppliers offering low minimum order quantities, enabling greater flexibility for capsule collections and early-stage production.
Exhibitors participating in each specialty sourcing category can be easily identified by dedicated booth id logos on the show floor, as well as through filters within the Texworld NYC mobile app.
Extending the sourcing journey into the creative phase, Printsource, co-located with Texworld and Apparel Sourcing NYC, provides a dedicated platform for surface and textile design. Featuring international design studios and original artwork across apparel, home, and accessory markets, Printsource connects material sourcing with design inspiration — bridging concept, creativity, and production under one roof.
“As brands rethink where and how they produce, they are no longer looking for just factories. They are looking for sourcing systems that give them flexibility, transparency, and long-term stability. Our goal with Texworld is to make that entire decision-making process visible and actionable in one place,” states Caner Ozkan, Show Manager, Fashion + Apparel, Messe Frankfurt Inc.
A Global Affair
As sourcing strategies continue to shift globally, the co-located event will reflect the growing interest in regions that offer both stability and manufacturing strength. Apparel Sourcing New York City will feature a strong showing from Bangladesh, a leading hub for apparel manufacturing, with more than 10 companies participating in the country pavilion and showcasing capabilities across a wide range of garment categories. Within Texworld New York City, sourcing interest in Korea continues to grow, supported by its expertise in textile innovation and advanced fabric development.
