Texworld New York City

Texworld New York City stands as the largest textile and apparel sourcing trade show on the East Coast, convening two times annually. It offers a dynamic platform for designers, buyers, and industry leaders to explore innovative fabrics, gain exclusive trend forecasts, and access educational opportunities. The event also functions as a vital forum for the industry to learn about and stay current with the latest textile innovations and the broader state of the trade industry. The upcoming edition is scheduled for January 19-21, 2027, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, United States.

The exhibition showcases a comprehensive range of fabrics, including cotton, denim, embroidery, fibers, functional fabrics, intricate laces, jacquard, faux fur, knitwear, and technological services. A strong emphasis is placed on ethical and sustainable sourcing, highlighted by features such as "Econogy" for certified manufacturers, "Small Quantity" for suppliers offering low minimum order quantities (starting at 50 running meters/pieces), and "Local Sourcing" for North American production facilities, fabric & trim manufacturers, and tech-pack services. The "Innovation Hub" further presents "Next-Gen' Materials" focused on sustainable textile innovation, a "Technology Lab" for digital sourcing, and a "Solutions Studio" connecting buyers with service providers in responsibility and transparency, including certification guidance (e.g., WRAP, GOTS, Cascale) and supply chain consulting.

The event targets a diverse professional audience, including designers, buyers, industry leaders, apparel fabric buyers, product developers, merchandisers, overseas sourcing professionals, U.S. brands, retailers, global textile manufacturers, fabric sourcing companies, and sustainable fabric suppliers. Concurrent events like Apparel Sourcing New York City and Printsource enhance the experience. Educational offerings include the "Textile Talks series" and the "Exhibitor Pitch stage," alongside workshops such as the "Tech Pack Workshop - Your Fashion Design Blueprint" (Winter 2026 edition).
