From 7-10 February 2024, the Istanbul Expo Centre will once again play host to the international fashion world with the fifth edition of IFCO, Istanbul Fashion Connection. Organisers are expecting over 30,000 visitors to the event, which will cover 100,000 sq. m and host 600-plus exhibitors and brands.
The show comprises eight halls: Baby & Kidswear; Womenswear; Menswear; Denim & Activewear; Underwear & Hosiery; Occasionwear & Bridalwear; Leather & Fur, and Shoes. Alongside the latest collections there will also be IFCO’s B2B Match Making service, which enables exhibitors and buyers to connect. Plus, a comprehensive seminar and workshop program, including expert contributions from WGSN and Academia della Moda.
For the first time, IFCO will also be presenting creative projects from young talent, including graduates from Turkey’s top fine art universities. Elsewhere, IFCO’s Trend Area designed by the renowned fashion academy IMA will present an inspiring space featuring the latest trends and developments in the fashion industry. Finally, the show is also collaborating with the Fashion Designers’ Association MTD. MTD organises innovative events and acts as an active support for emerging fashion designers, thus playing a key role in the development of the Turkish fashion industry.
Turkey is an important hub for the European fashion industry and fashion trade, offering a combination of quality, diversity, tradition and innovation. The country is also home to a dynamic fashion scene, with both established designers and emerging talent. Istanbul Fashion Connection 2024 promises to be an inspiring platform for the fashion industry and will once again set new standards in terms of style, creativity and innovation.
