Apparel Sourcing New York City

Apparel Sourcing in New York is an internationally established trade fair dedicated to the global sourcing of apparel and fashion accessories. Recognized as a key platform within the textile value chain, it brings together the international fashion industry twice a year—in January and July—at the renowned Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. The event is organized by Messe Frankfurt, Inc., a subsidiary of the globally active Messe Frankfurt, which has been a leading organizer of international trade shows for decades.

The fair is distinguished by its clear focus on the production and supply chain of the fashion industry. It offers a rare opportunity for direct dialogue between manufacturers, designers, retailers, and importers—particularly with an eye on the North American market. Covering all production models, from private label and contract manufacturing to Original Design Manufacturing (ODM), the event enables tailored and flexible business partnerships.

The spotlight is on current developments in the fashion and textile sectors. The product range includes women's, men's, and children's clothing, as well as activewear, lingerie, sleepwear, suits, jeans, knitwear, and contemporary collections. This offering is complemented by a wide array of accessories, such as bags, footwear, leather goods, and headwear. The diversity of products reflects the industry's innovative strength and dynamism, with a strong emphasis on quality, sustainability, and market readiness.

As a global fashion capital, New York provides an inspiring backdrop and a strategically advantageous location for the event. Centrally situated in Manhattan, the Javits Center offers modern infrastructure and excellent international transport links—ideal conditions for both exhibitors and attendees.

A key strength of Apparel Sourcing New York is its close integration with the concurrently held Texworld USA. This collaboration generates valuable synergies and opens up additional business opportunities for participants.

Exhibitors primarily come from apparel and textile manufacturing, the accessory sector, and international clothing import. The audience includes buyers, brand owners, designers, and retailers seeking reliable production partners and innovative solutions. Apparel Sourcing New York is therefore more than just a trade fair—it is a vital driver of global fashion sourcing.

As part of Messe Frankfurt’s international network of fashion trade shows, the event emphasizes its relevance far beyond the U.S. market.

Apparel Sourcing New York is more than a professional gathering—it is a global hub for ideas, products, and partnerships in the fashion industry. With its venue at the state-of-the-art Javits Center, its central location in the heart of Manhattan, and its integration into a worldwide trade fair concept, it provides the ideal setting for lasting business success in the international fashion arena.
