The regional hub of the ready-to-wear and fashion world, Istanbul Fashion Connection (IFCO), is preparing to open its doors between February 4–7, 2026. Organized by the Istanbul Ready-to-Wear and Apparel Exporters' Association (IHKIB), the fair will bring together the production power and design vision of the Turkish fashion industry with global buyers.
IFCO, which will be held in a total area of 35,000 square meters, will host more than 300 local manufacturers and brands. Beyond being just an exhibition space, the fair will offer an industry-leading experience platform with trend areas, seminars, workshops, and fashion shows designed around digital transformation, smart clothing, technical textiles, and sustainability.
As part of IHKIB’s extensive international network, thousands of procurement professionals are expected from all over the world, particularly from European Union countries, the UK, the Russian Federation, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), North Africa, the Middle East, and the USA. Local manufacturers aiming to export their brands will establish new trade bridges with buying delegations from target markets through the B2B meetings to be held throughout the fair.
IFCO 2026 brings all subgroups of the ready-to-wear industry together under one roof. The main product groups to be exhibited within the scope of the fair will be as follows:
- Women's and men's wear collections
- Baby and children's ready-to-wear groups
- Denim and sportswear
- Evening wear, bridal wear, and lingerie
- Socks, leather-fur apparel, and footwear segments
In the previous edition held in August 2025, fashion professionals from all over the world participated. The fair, held in 4 halls, hosted 18,814 visitors from 114 countries. More than 270 exhibitors took part in the event.
Istanbul Fashion Connection (IFCO) will be open to industry professionals at the Istanbul Expo Center (IFM) between February 4–7, 2026.
