In July 2025, Messe Frankfurt’s premier North American sourcing events—Texworld NYC, Apparel Sourcing NYC, Home Textiles Sourcing and Texworld LA, Apparel Sourcing LA—returned to both coasts, offering the fashion and home textile industries a platform for global sourcing, trend insights, and sustainable innovation.
The Summer 2025 edition brought together hundreds of global textile and apparel manufacturers across more than 50 product categories, with country pavilions from Korea, Taiwan, El Salvador, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Uzbekistan.
Returning to the co-located show floor in both cities, Printsource, the premier market for surface and textile design in the US, offered buyers direct access to trend-right prints and original artwork for fashion, home, and lifestyle products.
In addition to global sourcing, the season’s programming featured a robust lineup of educational offerings through Textile Talks and the Lenzing Seminar Series. Attendees took part in conversations with industry professionals from Steve Madden, J. Crew Group, Faherty Brand, Peclers Paris, Nelly Rodi, WRAP, USFIA, and others, covering a broad range of topics tailored to the sourcing landscape at the time. “The shows provide the tools, talent, and thought leadership that sourcing professionals need to stay agile and inspired,” said Eileen Small, Business Consultant for Texworld NYC + LA.
Attendees at both editions were able to immerse themselves in special feature areas, including the Texworld Trend Showcase curated by DONEGER | TOBE, the Next Gen Innovation Hub, the Deadstock specialty sourcing area, and Exhibitor Pitch powered by Texpertise.
“Our mission is to be a responsive, reliable platform—supporting buyers and exhibitors as they adapt to sourcing shifts, explore new markets, and build meaningful business connections,” said Jennifer Bacon, VP, Fashion & Apparel Shows, Messe Frankfurt Inc.
With thousands of buyers, designers, and sourcing professionals attending across both cities, the Summer 2025 editions reaffirmed Messe Frankfurt’s role as a leading connector in the global sourcing ecosystem. From veteran brands to emerging startups, attendees experienced a comprehensive program rooted in innovation, education, and connection.
