20. - 22. August 2025 | International trade fair for sustainable textiles and functional fabric innovations

Each year, it opens its doors at the renowned COEX Convention and Exhibition Center in the heart of Seoul, attracting professionals, industry leaders, and trendsetters from around the world. The name “Preview” stands for the exclusive opportunity to gain early insight into the latest innovations and developments in the textile and fashion industry.

Under the motto “Innovation for Sustainability,” Preview in Seoul places a special emphasis on forward-looking and sustainable solutions for the textile sector. The event clearly demonstrates how innovative technologies and sustainable approaches are shaping the future of the industry – from high-tech fibers and eco-friendly textiles to specialty and recycled yarns, as well as modern production methods and digital textile machinery.
A distinctive feature of the fair is its integration of digital and sustainable topics. Visitors gain direct insight into current advancements such as digital textile printing, 3D simulation, and AI-powered design tools. The program is further enhanced by expert seminars, trend forums, and interactive presentations, providing opportunities for exchange with industry specialists. Networking events, an integrated job fair, and exclusive factory tours create ideal conditions for making new contacts, whether for young professionals or experienced experts. Exhibitors range from leading textile and fashion companies to pioneers in mechanical engineering, digital technologies, and sustainable future solutions.

The event primarily attracts decision-makers from design, procurement, production, and marketing who are seeking new materials, technologies, and business partners.
