Apparel Sourcing Los Angeles

Apparel Sourcing Los Angeles is a specialized trade fair launched in 2023 that has quickly established itself as a key platform for the international fashion and textile industry. The name symbolizes the strategic sourcing of apparel and fashion accessories, with a clear focus on finished collections, contract manufacturing, and the development of private label brands.

Held annually at the renowned California Market Center in Los Angeles—one of the most influential hubs of the West Coast fashion scene—the event is organized by Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH, a globally leading trade fair organizer known for its high-quality, industry-focused formats.

The fair targets brands, retailers, and designers seeking reliable manufacturing partners known for quality, innovation, and sustainable production practices. Its offering spans the entire spectrum of the modern apparel industry, including womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, sportswear, knitwear, footwear, accessories, underwear, and functional textiles. More than just a product showcase, the event reflects ongoing changes in global sourcing—placing particular emphasis on sustainable materials, eco-friendly processes, low minimum order quantities, and nearshoring solutions in the North American market.

Apparel Sourcing Los Angeles blends international diversity with regional relevance. While exhibitors from around the world present their products and services, the fair also focuses on strengthening North American supply chains. Participants range from niche specialists to established large-scale producers in the fashion and textile sectors, including accessory manufacturing and fashion retail. For trade visitors—such as buyers, brand managers, and independent designers—the event provides not only a comprehensive market overview but also opportunities for in-depth business dialogue.

Added value is offered through supporting formats such as trend showcases, expert seminars, and panel discussions that explore current topics including sustainable sourcing, material innovation, and just-in-time production. On the "Exhibitor Pitch" stage, exhibitors present their collections in direct interaction with potential business partners. In addition, curated networking programs and side events foster meaningful connections and new collaborations.

As part of Messe Frankfurt’s global trade fair portfolio, Apparel Sourcing Los Angeles is not only regionally rooted but also globally connected—integrated into a worldwide network of fashion trade fairs held in key industry cities. Its venue in Downtown Los Angeles offers an ideal setting, thanks to its central location, modern infrastructure, and proximity to important industry networks.

More than just a fashion trade show, Apparel Sourcing Los Angeles is a dynamic meeting point for forward-thinking brands, designers, and manufacturers seeking high-level, market-ready collections and sustainable production solutions. With its strong international orientation and strategic location in one of the USA’s most important fashion centers, it offers the perfect environment for successful, future-oriented business development.

The Apparel Sourcing takes place annually, and therefore for the fourth time previsibly in July 2026 in Los Angeles.
