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.

EU Council prez to convene extraordinary meeting to discuss Greenland
Trump last week announced he would impose a new round of higher tariffs on several EU members starting February 1 as the latter did not support US demand to buy Greenland from Denmark.
EU diplomats have agreed to accelerate efforts to dissuade President Donald Trump from imposing tariffs on European allies, while preparing retaliatory measures.
European Council President Antonio Costa consulted members on the Greenland issue and said he would convene an extraordinary meeting of the Council in the coming days.
The bloc is committed to defend itself against any form of coercion, he said.
“NATO has been telling Denmark, for 20 years, that ‘you have to get the Russian threat away from Greenland’,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Unfortunately, Denmark has been unable to do anything about it. Now it is time, and it will be done!!!”
European Council President Antonio Costa consulted member states on the latest tensions over Greenland and issued a statement saying such tariffs would undermine trans-Atlantic relations and are incompatible with the EU-US trade agreement. He reconfirmed the bloc’s strong commitment to defend it against any form of coercion.
Expressing the bloc’s readiness to continue engaging constructively with the United States on all issues of common interest, he said he would convene an extraordinary meeting of the Council in the coming days.
“Europe will not be blackmailed,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in a statement.
An option being reportedly considered is a package of tariffs on €93 billion worth of US imports that could automatically take effect on February 6 following the expiry of a six-month pause.
Another involves deploying the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI), a never-used tool that could restrict access to public tenders, investments or banking activity and limit trade in services, including digital services, where the United States runs a surplus with the bloc.
After speaking to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen asserted EU commitment to upholding the sovereignty of Greenland and Denmark and posted on X: “We will always protect our strategic economic and security interests”.
“We will face these challenges to our European solidarity with steadiness and resolve,” she said.
“No intimidation or threat will influence us—whether in Ukraine, in Greenland or elsewhere in the world,” Macron wrote on X. “Tariff threats are unacceptable and have no place in this context. Europeans will respond in a united and coordinated manner if they are confirmed,” he wrote.
“We will not allow ourselves to be blackmailed,” said Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.

Reliance misses third-quarter profit estimates at $2.06 billion for the October-December quarter
By
Reuters
Published
January 19, 2026
On Friday, India’s Reliance Industries posted an 186.45 billion rupees ($2.06 billion) profit for the October-December quarter, missing analysts’ average estimate of 196.44 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG.
Shares of Reliance Industries fell as much as 2.7% in early trade on Monday after the conglomerate announced missing its third-quarter profit estimates, weighed down by slowing earnings growth in its retail segment. Shares of the Mukesh Ambani-led firm were trading at 1,426. 60 rupees, as of 9:41 am, and were among the top five losers on the benchmark Nifty 50 Index
UBS analysts trimmed Oil-to-Chemicals(O2C) and retail estimates slightly but said they still see room for a valuation re-rating, as the company’s earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) mix increasingly shifts toward structural growth drivers such as digital and retail, reducing dependence on the cyclical oil and gas segment. Festive discounting, investment in hyper-local delivery startups, and a one-off impact from India’s new labour code trimmed core margins at its retail unit to 8% from 8.6% a year earlier.
Retail growth softened primarily because the festive season was brought forward and due to the one-month impact of the consumer products demerger, analysts at Emkay said. Core earnings for the segment grew 1.3% to 69.15 billion rupees, compared with 9.5% growth a year earlier.
Reliance’s oil and gas segment weakened due to lower output and softer price realisations from its ageing KG-D6 fields, leading to an 8.4% revenue decline and a 12.7% drop in core earnings amid higher maintenance costs. Meanwhile, analysts at Systematix forecast a rise of 5%, 12%, and 9% O2C, Retail, and Jio revenue CAGR, respectively, during FY25-FY28, while a 12% decline in their oil and gas businesses.

Milan Menswear: a changing of guard and gears at Giorgio Armani
Published
January 19, 2026
There was a changing of the guard and of gears at Giorgio Armani Monday morning, as Leo Dell’Orco presented a smooth and chic debut collection for the house, the final important show of Milano Uomo Moda.
The collection was the first not designed for the house by eponymous designer Giorgio Armani, who passed away in September last year.
Inevitably, Dell’Orco, Giorgio Armani’s right-hand man for the past four decades, sent out a collection that was hyper respectful of the master’s DNA. Yet he still added his own imprint to a signature collection that featured over a dozen women’s looks that practically matched the menswear designs they marched beside.
Leo also upped the pace of the show, which was no bad thing, and concentrated on what the house of Armani does best- impeccable, fluid tailoring. Most notably with some excellent jackets and blazers. Varying between one-button blazers with elongated shawl lapels made in the house’s signature non-colours of mud, cement, or wheat. To five-button Nehru jackets, again riffing on old Giorgio favourites- from zig zag pattern to waffle style. Paired with forgiving tapered pants that nipped at the ankle it all made for a very flattering silhouette.

Leo did break new ground in terms of colours, showing some great olive green or amethyst velvet shirts, pinstripe jackets and coats- for men and women. Along with superb silk mandarin jackets in dashing Colombia blue. While Giorgio’s love of Asian design was remembered in a great series of silk shirts with high smoking collars.
A change of guard also on the board, where recently appointed members John Hooks and Marco Bizzarri sat smiling in the audience.
“It feels emotional to be back after 15 years,” commented Hooks, the house’s managing director for a decade until 2011. While a beaming Bizzarri predicted: “expect an exciting 18 months at the house of Armani.”
As noted, under the terms of Giorgio Armani’s will, the childless late designer left instructions that his heirs sell 15% of the house within 18 months of his death. And then a further 35% to 54.9% to the same buyer.

However, after watching this show, one got the distinct impression that no one in Armani is in any great hurry to sell.
Clearly enjoying his new role, Dell’Orco took a few risks with his choice of coats, showing dramatic double-face slate grey topcoats with funnel necks, or the sleekest meeting of a chauffeur’s tunic and long coat in putty grey. One could sense the models loved wearing them, too.
In another marked change, the models appeared quicker and marched faster in two morning shows, held in the famed Armani show-space in the basement of Giorgio’s personal palazzo on central Via Borgonuovo.
The collection and show did lose focus towards the finale, with some odd knits and a good deal or repetition. It lacked the ruthless self-editing for which King Giorgio was famous. But overall, this felt like a successful passage into a new era, and a win for the house.

In a generous gesture, Leo took his bow with his nephew Gianluca Dell’Orco, a design director for menswear.
Bowing, smiling, and ebullient- aided by the galactic funk and gentle techno soundtrack, including Evolver by AstroMat. Armani soundtracks traditionally had been one of Leo Dell’Orco’s responsibilities.
And one could not help to chant during the show “Ashes to Ashes,” the traditional refrain at funerals, suggesting there is a future life immortal in heaven.
