Fair highlights and sourcing inspiration

This edition was centred around four key pillars: Fashion Forward, Performance Textiles, Sustainability, and Textile Future. Together, these themes shaped discussions between exhibitors and buyers, reflecting how today’s sourcing increasingly combines creativity, technical performance, sustainable practices and digital innovation.

More than 60 fringe events took place over the three-day fair. Among the key attractions, the Pet Boutique made its Autumn Edition debut, presenting the latest pet fashion and accessories. The CUBE combined performance fabrics with live textile machinery and testing, while the Intertextile Directions Trend Forum offered an immersive exploration of forthcoming trends through sight, touch and scent.

Insights from the show floor

“At Intertextile Apparel, we are introducing GRTS and speaking with companies that may be interested. It is clear we have penetrated the market; our logo can be seen everywhere at this platform. Sustainability is now a business necessity, and the Econogy Hub and seminar space is a wonderful thing being done here – have the right people talk, let them spread the word.”
Mr Rahul Bhajekar, Managing Director, Global Standards GmbH, Germany (exhibitor)

“Our brand covers casual men’s and women’s apparel with a sportswear influence, and at the fair I found relevant knit, sportswear, and outerwear fabrics. More suppliers at the show are now equipped for foreign trade and hold certifications required for the French market, which saves us a great deal of extra effort.”
Ms Pik Ki Tsoi, Fabric Development Lead, Celio Sourcing Ltd, France (buyer)
