Texworld NYC, Apparel Sourcing NYC, and Printsource will return to the Javits Center from January 20–22, 2026, bringing together the global textile, apparel, and surface design industries for three days of sourcing, education, and strategic networking.
The Winter 2026 edition is expected to draw buyers, designers, sourcing executives, and product developers from across North America and beyond, as fashion brands continue to diversify supply chains and prioritize flexibility, transparency, and responsible production.
The Winter 2026 show floor will feature a strong international exhibitor presence, including dedicated country pavilions and specialized sourcing zones that reflect the realities of today’s global fashion supply chain. Buyers will gain direct access to a broad range of sourcing solutions, spanning large-scale manufacturing, specially textiles, and sustainability-focused materials.
With ongoing market volatility, shifting trade dynamics, and growing environmental accountability, the co-located events are positioned as a one-stop sourcing platform for brands navigating complex production decisions.
To help buyers quickly identify suitable partners, Texworld NYC will once again feature clearly defined specialty sourcing categories, supported by on-site booth identification and digital filtering via the Texworld NYC mobile app.
Texworld’s flagship sustainability initiative highlights exhibitors offering certified eco-friendly, responsibly produced, and traceable materials. The program combines economic viability with ecological responsibility, allowing buyers to efficiently source sustainable textiles without compromising performance or scalability.
Responding to growing interest in circular fashion, the Deadstock area showcases surplus, reclaimed, and upcycled fabrics, providing designers and brands with access to ready-to-use materials that reduce waste and lower environmental impact.
Tailored for emerging designers, independent labels, and capsule collections, this category features suppliers offering low minimum order quantities (MOQs), enabling greater agility in product development and early-stage production.
Co-located with Texworld NYC and Apparel Sourcing NYC, Printsource extends the sourcing journey into the creative phase. The platform brings together international surface and textile design studios, presenting original artwork for apparel, home textiles, and accessories.

By connecting material sourcing with design inspiration, Printsource enables brands to move seamlessly from concept to production under one roof — a growing priority for time-sensitive fashion calendars.
“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,” said Caner Ozkan, Show Manager, Fashion + Apparel, Messe Frankfurt Inc.
“Our goal with Texworld is to make that entire decision-making process visible and actionable in one place.”
The January 2026 edition will reflect shifting global sourcing strategies, with increased interest in regions offering manufacturing strength, innovation, and supply stability.
Apparel Sourcing NYC will feature a strong Bangladesh pavilion, with more than 10 apparel manufacturers showcasing capabilities across knitwear, woven garments, outerwear, and value-added production — reinforcing Bangladesh’s position as a leading global apparel hub.

The Korea Pavilion will include over 20 exhibitors, offering high-performance textiles and next-generation fabric solutions.
