Istanbul Fashion Connection will celebrate its premiere on 9-11 February 2022, hosting 300 companies and brands across 30,000 sq. m at the Istanbul Expo Centre.

With Istanbul Fashion Connection, the Istanbul Apparel Exporter’s Association (IHKIB) is presenting a new platform for the international fashion industry. The offer will be available under one roof, including kidswear, womenswear, menswear, denim and leather. Shows-in-show for lingerie and hosiery and bridal and eveningwear, meanwhile, complete the offer.

As a biannual event – the next date is 24-26 August 2022 – the show offers an overview of the concentrated strength of Turkish design, production quality and service offerings in the fashion industry.

Designers, brands, design studios, agents, producers and representatives of all retail channels will meet in Istanbul to expand their portfolios and develop new business areas.

Turkey has long been an interesting sourcing market for the European fashion industry; low prices, good quality products, reliable suppliers and short delivery times. The country is also strategically located between Europe and Asia and is a member of the EU Customs Union.

Topics such as digital transformation, smart clothing, technical textiles and sustainability are the focus of seminars and workshops. Trend zones and fashion shows will also provide information on current trends.

Istanbul Fashion Connection takes place under 2G rules and adherence to strict hygiene measures. For visitors, IHKIB offers an invitation programme including accommodation and transfers.
