Following a record-breaking February edition, with over 34,000 trade visitors from over 150 countries, the 8th edition of IFCO - Istanbul Fashion Connection will feature over 250 exhibitors from womenswear, menswear, and childrenswear, denim brands, footwear, accessories, sportswear, and loungewear, alongside other specialized participants, from August 20 to 22, 2025.
The Power of Turkish Womenswear
The largest segment, with 125 exhibitors, is womenswear. This sector in Turkey is experiencing strong growth, driven by its blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and production capabilities. Offering from minimalist tailoring to evening gowns, Turkish brands are increasingly present in global retail spaces, e-commerce platforms, and multi-brand boutiques.
Menswear: Tradition Meets Modern Market Demands
Turkey is a powerhouse in menswear manufacturing, blending heritage tailoring skills with modern production efficiency and expanding focus on sustainability, from organic fabrics to eco-friendly finishing techniques . In 2024, Turkish menswear exports exceeded USD 3 billion, reflecting robust demand from Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
Kidswear: A Market on the Rise
The Turkish kidswear industry is emerging as a high-potential segment, supported by strong domestic consumption and growing export demand. The 21 exhibitors at IFCO combine playful, fashion-forward design with the stringent quality and safety standards required for children’s apparel. Key competitive advantages include small-batch production for niche and premium children’s brands; increasing eco-conscious offerings, including organic cotton and non-toxic dyes.
IFCO Trends
The Trend Area in Hall 8, curated by the Istanbul Moda Academy (IMA), offers visitors a perspective on the upcoming season's fashion codes. This space blends academic knowledge with industry insights, reflecting not only seasonal trends but also the evolving cultural and social dimensions of fashion. Visual storytelling supports each concept, allowing visitors to experience the latest fashion innovations from both an aesthetic and conceptual perspective.
