Texworld NYC Summer 2025 draws 423 exhibitors, global pavilions
It’s been one hot Summer — both where the weather and textile trends are concerned.
Texworld NYC Summer 2025 drew 423 exhibitors from 26 countries, with highlights including trend showcases, Next Gen Innovation Hub, and the new Deadstock sourcing area.
Texworld LA 2025 followed, spotlighting global pavilions, denim talks, and sustainable sourcing.
The Winter Edition returns Jan 20–22, 2026, at NYC’s Javits Center.
For Spring 2026, there will be no shortage of things to refresh fashion’s palate.
Textile producers are showcasing collections that reflect the industry’s growing emphasis on comfort, sustainability, and technical performance. Across the board, fabrics are softer, lighter, and more versatile, demonstrating how innovation is meeting the evolving needs of designers and consumers alike.
Highlight Reel from Texworld NYC Summer 2025
It was a full house in New York City this summer, with attendees in the thousands exploring what 423 global exhibitors from 26 countries had on offer.
Country Pavilions representing El Salvador, India, Korea, Taiwan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam offered new sourcing options and strategized ways to navigate the ongoing challenge of uncertain tariffs on trade with the United States. The trend Showcase, curated by DONEGER | TOBE, offered a peek at Fall/Winter 2026/27 inspiration, which focused on “Fundamentals.” It was all about Cool Classics, Bohemian Basics, and Retro Reissues as consumers search for nostalgia in all of its forms, plus an ease of dressing that shifts away from restrictive tailoring.
The Next Gen Innovation Hub featured breakthrough technologies from more than a dozen leading companies, while the new Deadstock Specialty Sourcing area made it easy to see how surplus fabrics can fit into circular sourcing strategies. Suppliers offered novel ideas in the Exhibitor Pitch area, powered by Texpertise, and Textile Talks led by industry experts, including a VIP Tariff Briefing Breakfast with Robert Leo, worked to make sense of the supply chain’s current — and constantly shifting — challenges. Co-located Printsource NYC rounded out the experience, giving buyers direct access to trend-right prints and original artwork for fashion, home, and lifestyle products.
What Went on at Texworld LA 2025
Not long after NYC, Texworld Los Angeles and Apparel Sourcing Los Angeles, together with Printsource, delivered Messe Frankfurt’s signature textile agenda, but West Coast Style. Exhibitors from more than 16 countries were there (including Taiwan and Vietnam) as attendees increasingly look to diversify their sourcing mix. Trend Showcases served as inspiration for new hues and patterns, which were readily available on the show floor, and the Next-Gen Innovation Hub offered innovative new fabrics. The debut Deadstock Specialty Sourcing area offered a hands-on look at more sustainable solutions, while Textile Talks — including a special segment in partnership with Kingpins for all things denim — provided practical insights from industry leaders.
The event reinforced its role as a platform for buyers and suppliers to connect, uncover global sourcing opportunities, and explore sustainable and innovative approaches to the textile market. Looking ahead, the 2026 edition in LA will continue this momentum, expanding its focus on global pavilions, trend-led education, and forward-thinking sourcing features.
New Dates for Texworld NYC Winter Edition
Mark your calendars! The Winter Edition of Texworld NYC will take place January 20 – 22 at the Javits Center in New York City. Expect the same inspiration, education, and connection you got during the summer edition, with a focus on what’s ahead for textiles in 2026 and beyond.

Cotton prices in Brazil hit 16-year low amid weak demand, ample supply
The average November price settled at BRL 3.4505 (~$0.65) per pound, 1.91 per cent lower than in October 2025 and 12.5 per cent below November 2024. Over the month, the Index slipped 0.23 per cent and remained below export parity, signalling little support from external markets.
Brazil’s cotton prices fell in November, hitting their lowest real level since September 2009 as strong supply, weak domestic demand and softer global quotes pressured the market.
The CEPEA/ESALQ Index stayed below export parity, with buyers taking minimal volumes and sellers accepting lower prices to clear stocks.
ABRAPA reported 81.73 per cent of the 2024-25 crop processed by November 27.
Market participants are preparing for the year-end period, buying only small volumes. Sellers under cash pressure or looking to clear inventories have shown greater price flexibility, adding to the downward momentum, CEPEA said in its latest fortnightly report on the Brazilian cotton market.
Beyond ongoing shipments under term contracts, traders are already negotiating new deals for early 2026 deliveries and for cotton from the next season. According to Brazilian Cotton Producers Association (ABRAPA), 81.73 per cent of Brazil’s 2024-25 crop had been processed by November 27, with progress at 79 per cent in Mato Grosso and 92 per cent in Bahia.

‘Made in Italy’: Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy named among 13 luxury giants suspected of exploiting Chinese workers
By
AFP
Published
December 5, 2025
Thirteen further leading luxury brands, including Gucci, Versace and Yves Saint Laurent, are suspected of having used subcontractors in Italy who exploited Chinese workers, according to a request issued on Thursday by the Italian judicial authorities.
In a request for information seen by AFP, a prosecutor in Milan said they had found bags, wallets and garments from these brands during searches of Italian workshops employing ‘Chinese labour in severely exploitative conditions’.
Thursday’s proceedings concern brands from the French group Kering (Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen), Givenchy (LVMH group), as well as Prada and its new acquisition, Versace, along with Ferragamo, Pinko, Dolce & Gabbana, Missoni, Off-White, leather goods maker Coccinelle, and the sportswear giant Adidas.
The Milan prosecutor is asking the brands, which are presumed innocent, to provide documents on their supply chains promptly, such as internal audits.
Other leading names have already been singled out by the Italian judiciary in similar cases: Dior, LVMH’s second-largest brand, the leather goods houses Tod’s and Alviero Martini, as well as an Armani subsidiary and cashmere specialist Loro Piana.
Poverty pay, workers sleeping in the workshop to produce items sold for thousands of euros: investigations carried out by the Milan public prosecutor’s office have revealed a serious lack of oversight across supply chains.
Under Italian law, companies can be held liable for violations committed by authorised suppliers. Advocates for fashion workers have been denouncing such abuses for decades.
The Italian government has gone on the offensive to defend its brands, with the Minister for Industry and ‘Made in Italy‘, Adolfo Urso, declaring that their reputation was ‘under attack’.
Tod’s, after denying any irregularities, was given an 11-week period by a Milan judge on Wednesday to strengthen its system for monitoring suppliers.
