Istanbul Fashion Connection brings global showcase to London”

London- One of the world’s fastest-growing fashion and apparel exhibitions, the Istanbul Fashion Connection (IFCO), is set to make its London debut later this month.

The event will take place on 21 October 2025 at the Sheraton Grand Lane Hotel, bringing together Turkish apparel manufacturers and international fashion leaders for a day of business networking and an evening reception.

During the day, attendees will be able to join Apparel Meetings London 2025 (10:00–17:00), a B2B matchmaking program organized by IHKIB. The meetings will showcase Turkish expertise across multiple sectors, including sportswear, denim, knitwear, outerwear, lingerie, loungewear, socks, and hosiery.

In the evening, the IFCO Reception, beginning at 19:00, will offer a more exclusive networking setting, giving participants the chance to connect with industry leaders and gain an early look at the vision for IFCO 2026.

The London debut is seen as a significant step in strengthening ties between Turkey’s fashion industry and the UK market. Organizers describe the event as a platform to highlight the creativity, quality, and diversity of Turkish apparel manufacturing on the global stage.

The IFCO exhibition has grown rapidly in recent years, positioning Istanbul as a hub for international buyers, brands, and designers. Its expansion to London reflects the increasing demand for Turkish-made apparel and the country’s ambition to play a larger role in global fashion supply chains.
