The West Coast's Premier Sourcing Destination Returns to Los Angeles This Summer

Messe Frankfurt has previewed the summer 2026 Los Angeles sourcing week, in which four co-located events run from 21 to 23 July at the California Market Center: Texworld LA, Apparel Sourcing LA, Home Textiles Sourcing LA and Interfilière Los Angeles. Two of the four are new to the West Coast this year, with Home Textiles Sourcing making its first Los Angeles appearance and Interfilière making its West Coast debut through the partnership with Comexposium US. Trend forecasting is handled by Peclers Paris and NellyRodi, presenting Fall/Winter 2027/28 directions alongside a Taiwan Pavilion showcase. The Textile Talks education programme covers artificial intelligence, circularity, bio-based materials, localised manufacturing and natural fibre innovation, with executives from SKIMS, GUESS, Cotton Incorporated, Hyosung and Homeboy Threads. Specialty sourcing categories include Texpertise Economy for sustainability-focused exhibitors, a deadstock area for surplus fabrics, and a low minimum order quantity section aimed at emerging brands. Jennifer Bacon, Vice President of Fashion and Apparel Shows at Messe Frankfurt Inc., welcomed Home Textiles Sourcing LA to the West Coast community, and Kirsten Griffin, Director of Visitor Promotions at Interfilière USA, said the event arrives at the epicentre of fashion, wellness and lifestyle innovation. The release did not give exhibitor or country counts.
