Attendees can explore unique offerings from the Vietnam, Korea, Bangladesh, India, Taiwan, and Pakistan pavilions.

Curated Trends + New! Trend+

Always an attendee favorite, The Texworld Trend Showcase, curated by New York-based trend agency DONEGER | TOBE, will be back on the show floor, offering insights into the Winter 2025/26 themes. Attendees can explore the curated segments through the Explore the Floor Tour led by Creative Director Kai Chow, providing an in-depth understanding of the upcoming trends – one day only!

A new trend+ feature, in partnership with Material Exchange, is a new digital enhancement to the trend showcase. This innovative platform will showcase the latest trends and materials featured on the show floor, allowing attendees to explore and interact with cutting-edge products in a digital format as well as order physical samples. Trend+ aims to bridge the gap between physical and digital sourcing, providing a seamless and modern experience.

“Our sourcing team is thrilled to partner with Texworld NYC this summer for the debut of the Trend+ initiative," says Ben Felton, chief strategy officer at Material Exchange. "This innovative trade show experience allows brands to find fabrics from the latest fashion trends, access detailed attribute data about them, and order samples on the spot. It's going to revolutionize brands' ability to seamlessly bridge their sourcing needs with what they see in person at trade shows."

Next-Gen Innovation Hub

Returning after a successful winter debut, Texworld’s Next-Gen Innovation Hub will provide visitors with insights into innovative, high-performing, and sustainable fiber and material alternatives. This specialty area is designed to spotlight cutting-edge solutions that address the industry's growing demand for eco-friendly and technologically advanced materials.

Printsource

Printsource will once again return to the co-located event to serve as the premier market for surface and textile design. Renowned for showcasing the latest trends and innovations in print, pattern, and textile design, Printsource will feature a vibrant array of designs from leading studios and designers from around the world.

Sustainability + Deadstock Sourcing

Beyond the diverse range of exhibitors and new products, this edition will highlight sustainable solutions through the Texpertise Econogy initiative, which is now promoted among the more than 50 textile fairs of the Messe Frankfurt group in 13 countries worldwide. Through Texpertise Econogy, Texworld NYC verifies all certifications from participating exhibitors who have sustainability claims from a third-party organization. Guests can find exhibitors who passed the Econogy Check by the new green identifier located on the booth ID.

Further emphasizing the event’s commitment to sustainability, the new Deadstock Sourcing category will provide attendees with opportunities to source surplus and unused fabrics. This initiative promotes waste reduction and resource efficiency by connecting buyers with eco-friendly options that support a circular economy.

Exhibitor Pitch Area

New to this edition, this unique platform allows attendees to hear directly from exhibitors about their companies and offerings, giving them an in-depth look at the latest products and services in the industry. It’s a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable insights, ask questions, and make informed decisions.

From groundbreaking innovations to sustainable solutions and global sourcing excellence, the co-located event promises to be a hub of industry advancement and inspiration.
