Organized by the Turkish Clothing Manufacturers’ Association (TGSD), a fashion conference will be held in Turkey, October 12 to 13, 2016. Turkish Clothing Manufacturers Association was founded in 1976 with the purpose of preparing the environment necessary for development of clothing industry in Turkey, becoming a leader for the sector, promoting the sector abroad and achieving sectoral cooperation. Currently, TGSD has approximately 400 members, all of which are leaders in the Turkish apparel industry.

TGSD became a full member of Euratex, the European Textile and Apparel Federation which brings the European textile and clothing industries together under a single roof, on June 6, 1997. This membership has enabled Turkish clothing industrialists’ rights to be discussed on the same table as European industrialists and has completed the integration process with the European Economic Cooperation.

Turkey has always been an important junction in trade between the East and the West, and now it’s becoming a junction for fashion too – bringing the best of international fashion to its own streets, and exporting its home-grown fashion to the world. Turkey is already well known as one of the world’s leading nations for manufacturing high-street fashion and denim. The dynamic new spirit among Turkey’s fashion brands is creating style that is cosmopolitan yet truly Turkish.
