We’re fresh off of a great turnout for Texworld NYC’s Winter Edition last month, with the show floor abuzz about advancements in sustainable fashion, innovations in high-performance textiles from the show’s newest addition, Made to Move, as well as Spring/Summer 2026 fashion trends set to drive the market. Thank you to all who attended!

Check out the latest highlights from Texworld NYC here.

Now we’re looking ahead to what’s next for the shows and what’s happening in fashion—from shifting days to explorations on shared risk relationships for buyers and suppliers.

Texworld NYC Show Days Change

First off, Texworld NYC: Premier Textile Sourcing Event, returns to the Javits Center July 23-25, 2025. This time around, the show will take place from Wednesday through Friday instead of Tuesday through Thursday, so be sure to mark your calendars.

Texworld Los Angeles Returns in July

On the other coast of the United States, Texworld LA and Apparel Sourcing LA will return to the California Market Center in the heart of Los Angeles on July 29-31, 2025. Since we launched the West Coast sourcing show two years back, it has become a gateway to the future of fashion sourcing. This 2025 edition will feature educational programs focused on global textile trends and business development; the Trend Showcase presented by Doneger|Tobe will look ahead to Fall/Winter 2026 trends; and the Next-Gen Innovation Hub will support buyers in sourcing sustainable, high-performance fiber and material alternatives.

What We’re Reading

What the Tariffs Mean for Fashion and Retail
The surely stress-inducing news about tariffs has been steady, but a breakdown by Sourcing Journal serves to clear things up. The latest round of tariffs under Donald Trump is expected to hit retailers harder than apparel brands. Unlike his first-term tariffs, these are broader and aimed at pressuring Mexico, Canada and China over things like immigration and fentanyl trafficking. While steep 25 percent tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports were initially set to take effect, both countries secured temporary delays by agreeing to new border enforcement measures. Canada had planned retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, but those may also be on hold. Meanwhile, an additional 10 percent tariff on all Chinese imports is moving forward as planned.

Explainer: Making apparel profitable, sustainable by 2030
Apparel industry experts are looking to pave a new path to profitability in the fashion industry; one that favors shared risk to create value. An article by Just-Style looks to explain a new report, “Under the Banyan Tree: Buyers and Suppliers in Fashion,” detailing its focus on fashion risk and capital to enhance supply chain flexibility. The report, authored by Chainge Capital founder John Thorbeck, in collaboration with the International Apparel Federation (IAF) and International Trade Commission (ITC), outlines a roadmap for creating buyer and supplier value in all tiers of the supply chain. The focus, according to the article, is on process and data innovation that’s about more than just where to manufacture and negotiating cost, with the aim of improving social, environmental and business outcomes across the supply chain.

What’s Fashion’s Next Big Idea?
Fashion is shifting toward a more refined, designer-driven aesthetic, according to an article in Vogue Business. After years of prioritizing youth and novelty, major brands are now tapping seasoned creatives known for their craftsmanship and sophistication. Recent leadership changes—like Matthieu Blazy at Chanel, Sarah Burton at Givenchy, and Haider Ackermann at Tom Ford—may signal a return to maturity in luxury fashion.
