Fashion Prime – 8th Textile, Ready-to-Wear Suppliers and Technologies Expo, the meeting point for the ready-to-wear industry and one of the sector's most anticipated trade events, will open its doors at Fuarizmir from 22–24 October 2025. Bringing together the entire textile and apparel supply chain, the expo will feature runway presentations unveiling the 2026 fabric collections for the first time, while continuing to support the export performance of Türkiye's ready-to-wear and garment industry.
Organized for the eighth time by İZFAŞ under the hosting of İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, Fashion Prime will bring together every segment of the industry—from ready-to-wear manufacturers and suppliers to designers and garment sub-industry companies. Throughout the three-day event, exhibitors will showcase products ranging from fabrics and accessories to advanced manufacturing technologies, while professional visitors will have the opportunity to discover the latest innovations and emerging trends shaping the industry.
Bridal, Eveningwear and Groomwear Fabrics Take Centre Stage
This year's edition will place a special focus on fabrics and accessories for bridal gowns, eveningwear and groomwear. Türkiye—and particularly İzmir—holds a globally recognised position in the production of bridal fashion, making this dedicated focus an important attraction for international buyers. Exhibitors will introduce their newest collections to professional visitors from both Türkiye and overseas.
Industry Professionals from Around the World
Fashion Prime will welcome manufacturers from İzmir, neighbouring provinces, İstanbul and across Türkiye, while also hosting a significant number of international industry professionals.
Strong international attendance is expected from Azerbaijan, the United Arab Emirates, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, Kosovo, Egypt, Nigeria, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine.
The expo's B2B matchmaking programme will enable exhibitors to meet directly with qualified buyers and sourcing professionals from these target markets, creating new business opportunities and supporting international market expansion.
New Business Opportunities through the Manufacturing Zone
One of the highlights of the 2025 edition will be the Manufacturing Zone, established in cooperation with the Aegean Ready-to-Wear and Apparel Exporters' Association (EHKİB).
The dedicated area will connect ready-to-wear manufacturers with domestic and international brands, creating direct export opportunities for manufacturing and exporting companies while strengthening commercial partnerships throughout the supply chain.
Fashion Shows to Present the 2026 Collections
Solo and collaborative fabric fashion shows, together with workshops organized throughout the expo, will provide manufacturers and designers with valuable networking and collaboration opportunities.
The runway presentations, where the 2026 fabric collections will be unveiled for the first time, are once again expected to become one of the event's major highlights, offering participating brands an influential platform to present their latest designs.
Supporting Türkiye's Export Performance
Fashion Prime continues to strengthen its role as one of the leading international platforms supporting Türkiye's ready-to-wear and apparel exports.
During the first nine months of 2025, the sector generated USD 12.7 billion in exports, while exports exceeded USD 17 billion over the previous twelve-month period. Companies affiliated with the Aegean Exporters' Associations contributed USD 1.3 billion in ready-to-wear and apparel exports during the same period.
By creating new business partnerships, showcasing emerging trends and facilitating international trade, Fashion Prime aims to help exhibitors expand into new markets and achieve their export objectives.
Strong Institutional Support
Fashion Prime is organized with the support of the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Trade, the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB), KOSGEB, the İzmir Chamber of Commerce, the Aegean Region Chamber of Industry, the İzmir Commodity Exchange, the Fashion and Ready-to-Wear Federation, and numerous leading industry associations.
