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.
