Istanbul Fashion Connection (IFCO), organized by IKTIB Fairs, a subsidiary of the Istanbul Apparel Exporter's Association, will have 400 exhibitors spread across six halls, with visitors expected primarily from the EU, UK, Eastern Europe, CIS, North Africa, the Middle East, and the US from August 9 to 11, 2023.
Istanbul's IFCO will showcase a wide range of styles and trends, from high-end tailoring to streetwear and ecological fashion. İpekyol, Climber, Damat, Kil, B&G Store, Lufian, Jakamen, NaraMaxx, Giovane Gentile, and Lee Cooper are among the brands expected to be at the event.
The event also provides an opportunity to network with renowned Turkish manufacturers from all industries. Turkey has a well-established textile and clothing infrastructure that appeals to both tiny designer labels and major fashion brands. Fabric sourcing, prototype development, sample production, and quality control are various services provided by businesses. High quality, quick delivery times, affordable prices, and the choice of low minimum order quantities round out the appealing range.
The complete supporting program, which includes fashion shows and trend zones, inspires visitors with the newest fashion trends and styles, while seminars and workshops cover current fashion industry subjects such as digital transformation, smart apparel, technical textiles, and sustainability.
The third edition of the IFCO Istanbul Fashion Connection took place from February 8 to 11, 2023. At the largest IFCO to date, 588 exhibitors met over 10,000 international trade visitors from 134 countries, including Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Germany, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Panama, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates. Brands and producers showcased the newest collections in the categories of lingerie, hosiery, leather, furs, kidswear, sportswear, evening and wedding wear, denim, and lingerie on a total of 100,000 square meters of exhibition space.
IFCO is expected to attract 30,000 visitors from over 100 nations, primarily from the EU, UK, Eastern Europe, CIS, North Africa, the Middle East, and the United States. IFCO will provide special invitation programs for tourists.
