Istanbul Fashion Connection will take place in Turkey, February 8 to 11, 2023.

Some 25,000 visitors from 100 nations are expected, from all sales channels, from department stores and boutiques to online platforms, from eastern Europe, the central Asian markets and the Arabian Gulf region, alongside buyers from Turkey.

The goal of the event is to offer a one-stop shopping solution that shows the creativity of the Turkish fashion scene, enables access to new sales markets and at the same time establishes the connection to potential production partners for supply chain optimization.

The clearly structured fair with over 600 exhibitors in nine halls gives an overview of the new collections in the areas of women’swear, men’swear, children’s wear, denim, shoes, leather and furs. Separate platforms are LinExpo for lingerie and hosiery and FashionIST with a wide range of wedding dresses, evening wear and suits. IFCO Sourcing, a new area, offers the opportunity to find numerous companies for sourcing capacities.

Turkey has long been a global player in the fashion business.The competitive advantages of production in Turkey are short delivery times, high production quality, young and well-trained employees, the possibility of small minimum order quantities and a vertical textile and clothing industry that allows one-stop shopping.
