The International Apparel & Textile Fair (IATF), recognized as the Gulf’s premier B2B fashion sourcing platform, is set to mark its 20th milestone edition from November 17–19, 2025, at the Dubai World Trade Centre (Halls 6 & 7).
With 450+ international exhibitors and over 5,000 professional buyers expected to attend, IATF 2025 is shaping up as a global sourcing powerhouse — uniting fashion visionaries, suppliers, and trendsetters under one roof.
A Global Confluence of Fashion Markets
This edition brings together exhibitors from over 25 fashion-forward nations including Italy, France, India, China, Japan, Turkey, Portugal, South Korea, Vietnam, and the USA. Dedicated pavilions from HEPC (India), GIZET (Ethiopia), and Kyrgyzstan will highlight their countries’ textile innovation and craftsmanship, making IATF a complete cross-category sourcing platform for apparel, fabrics, and accessories.
Introducing MODA SOLE & ACCESSORIES Pavilion
For the first time, IATF introduces the MODA SOLE AND ACCESSORIES Pavilion — a game-changer designed for buyers seeking a comprehensive sourcing experience. The new section will feature footwear, handbags, trims, laces, and accessories, blending artistry with functionality and offering brands a one-stop platform for their design and product development needs.
Hosted Buyers Program Strengthens Global Networking
Enhancing its reputation as a high-value B2B platform, IATF 2025 will also feature a Hosted Buyers Program (HBP) — welcoming over 20 top-tier international buyers. Through curated matchmaking sessions, the program connects key decision-makers with the most relevant suppliers, ensuring immediate business opportunities and long-term partnerships.
Sustainability at the Heart of Fashion
Reflecting the shift toward responsible production, sustainability remains a cornerstone of IATF 2025. Exhibitors will present eco-conscious materials, ethical manufacturing innovations, and sustainable sourcing solutions, aligning with the global movement toward greener fashion supply chains.
