International exhibition organizer, Messe Frankfurt, is launching the International Apparel Sourcing Show, a dedicated sourcing marketplace for American manufacturers, trading companies, wholesalers, retailers, agents, designers and buying offices looking for the best apparel manufacturers to source finished goods or contract manufacturing. The event will be launched in partnership with CCPIT TEX The Sub-Council of Textile Industry, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade.

The first International Apparel Sourcing Show will launch July 13 -15, 2010 at the Javits Convention Center in New York, New York. The show will continue as an annual event taking place every summer alongside both Texworld USA and Home Textiles Fabric
Sourcing Expo to create the most important sourcing destination for the marketplace.

“The premise of the event is a positioning of a high-quality sourcing arena in the heart of the fashion and apparel industry,” commented David Audrain, President of Messe Frankfurt North America. “Our partnerships throughout China and greater Asia will grant American attendees access to a great opportunity of new resources over a three day period, significantly more access than they would have over several weeks or months on the road.”

Product groups and trend displays at the International Apparel Sourcing Show will include childrenswear, womenswear, menswear, activewear, knits, wovens, denim/jeans, collections, suiting, contemporary, intimates/lingerie, oungewear/sleepwear as well as private label, ODM and contract manufacturing.
