Students from IFA Paris Istanbul explored the aisles of Texhibition, a key event in the textile industry calendar. Surrounded by innovative materials, inspiring talks, and networking opportunities, this immersive experience at an international trade show gave them a hands-on understanding of the fashion industry’s current challenges.
A Leading Textile Trade Show
For its 5th edition, Texhibition Istanbul welcomed over 25 000 visitors from 112 countries and more than 500 exhibitors specializing in fabrics, yarns, and textile accessories. Recognized as one of the largest trade shows in the sector, the 2025 edition spotlighted the latest innovations in the textile world.
The IFA Paris Istanbul students discovered a comprehensive overview of today’s market offer: materials organized by category (knits, cotton, viscose, acrylic…), a large area dedicated to denim, and a section for accessories such as buttons, zippers, and fasteners.
During the event, they also attended several conferences focused on sustainability challenges in the textile industry. Topics included fabric recycling, waste management, and the environmental impact of overconsumption. The denim section, in particular, highlighted new agricultural practices that restore soil fertility and the growing use of recycled and organic cotton.
This experience helped them better understand the sector’s current challenges and observe how innovation and sustainability are integrated at every stage of the textile supply chain.
A Professionalizing Event to Build Connections
Texhibition Istanbul is more than just a showcase, it’s also a hub for meeting and exchanging directly with industry professionals. The students had the chance to ask questions and make valuable connections during various networking sessions.
By observing how brands present their products and by absorbing the codes of an international B2B event, IFA Paris Istanbul students gained a practical, real-world view of the industry. Facing the realities of a professional trade show adds real value to their training and prepares them for the demands of the fashion world.
These hands-on learning experiences are a core part of IFA Paris’ philosophy: training creatives who are also aware of the economic, environmental, and social challenges shaping their industry.
