Global textile leaders converge at Texworld NYC Summer 2024

The show floor was abuzz with activity as attendees explored the extensive array of country pavilions, featuring premier textile, apparel, and home textile products from Vietnam, Korea, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Pakistan, and India. In addition to the pavilions, visitors had the opportunity to source from over 24 countries, including Peru, China, Türkiye, Singapore, Germany, Poland, USA, and Egypt, showcasing the event’s expansive global offerings.

The much-anticipated Texworld Trend Showcase, curated by esteemed trend agency DONEGER | TOBE, returned with insightful segments for the Fall/Winter 2025/26 season. Creative Director and visionary, Kai Chow, presented the new direction followed by an "Explore the Floor" tour of the showcase, offering attendees an in-depth understanding of all four segments.

The new Trend+ feature, in collaboration with Material Exchange, integrated in-person discovery with digital sourcing for the best of both worlds. Attendees were able to get detailed data and order samples by scanning QR codes on each trend fabric as well as interact with the brilliant new AI sourcing assistant, Frank the Bear.

Adding even more inspiration and sourcing offerings to the floor, Printsource New York returned with leading studios and designers from around the world showcasing the latest trends and innovations in print and pattern design.

The Texworld Next-Gen Innovation Hub made a triumphant return, focusing on high-performing, sustainable fiber and material alternatives from 15 leading innovators, and highlighting the cutting-edge solutions that are addressing the industry's growing demand for eco-friendly and technologically advanced materials.

This edition further emphasized sustainability through the introduction of specialty sourcing categories, Deadstock and ‘Econogy’ Certified. The Texpertise ‘Econogy’ initiative, which is promoted among the more than 50 textile fairs of the Messe Frankfurt group in 13 countries worldwide, ensures that all sustainability claims by participating exhibitors are verified by a third-party committee of experts. Reinforcing the co-located event’s commitment to eco-friendly practices, these initiatives provided attendees with a more transparent roadmap to sourcing sustainably.

From groundbreaking innovations and sustainable insight to global sourcing solutions and networking, the Summer 2024 edition of Texworld NYC, Apparel Sourcing NYC, and Home Textiles Sourcing proved to be a hub of industry advancement and inspiration. The event’s team thanks all attendees, exhibitors, and partners for their invaluable contributions and continued support and looks forward to welcoming everyone back for future shows.
