The Istanbul Fashion Connection (IFCO) will return for its seventh edition from February 5-8, 2025, at the Istanbul Expo Center. This event, now Europe’s largest fashion fair, is set to attract over 30,000 visitors, including key international players from the fashion industry. Spanning 35,000 square meters across 8 halls, IFCO will feature over 500 exhibitors, presenting the latest trends and innovations in apparel, footwear, and accessories.

According to IHKIB Vice President Mustafa Paşahan, Turkey’s fashion industry plays a vital role in its economy, contributing to exports and job creation. As the sixth-largest global supplier and third-largest to the EU, Turkey’s fashion sector continues to expand, with its brands available in over 100 countries. IFCO serves as a platform for these brands to showcase their creativity and excellence to a global audience.

The exhibition will feature diverse segments, including womenswear, menswear, kids fashion, denim, and sustainable innovations. Notable areas include The Core Istanbul, which will host 25 leading designers such as Meltem Ozbekand Tuba Ergin, and The Fashionist area, with fashion shows and displays of high-quality evening wear. A dedicated space for Turkish lingerie and hosiery will spotlight the country’s export success in these industries.

The event also emphasizes sustainable fashion, aligning with the EU’s eco-design initiative. Visitors can explore cutting-edge sustainable designs and participate in curated matchmaking sessions to forge valuable business connections. IFCO’s extensive seminar and workshop programs will offer insights into current fashion trends, social media’s impact, and the future of fashion marketing.

With an expected 30,000 visitors, IFCO 2025 will set new standards for creativity, networking, and innovation, making it an unmissable event for fashion professionals worldwide.
