Hong Kong stands at the crossroads of the world. A vital sourcing hub and headquarters for material and design innovation, Hong Kong is also where global designers and brands come to discover and connect with international suppliers.
Providing this comprehensive, all-in-one sourcing platform for the fashion supply chain is international trade show Fashion InStyle, organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and held April 27 to 30 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. As one of Asia’s leading fashion events, Fashion InStyle 2025 will bring together nearly 400 international exhibitors from the apparel and fashion sectors, featuring textiles, fashion technology, sustainable solutions, seasonal apparel, accessories and industry partners.
To further meet the needs of attendees, the annual event has launched a new zone, NEXT@Fashion InStyle, a groundbreaking initiative featuring more than 60 new and next-gen material suppliers as well as events like fashion shows and panels. A vibrant hub for creativity and connectivity, this innovative space is dedicated to reshaping the future of fashion and design. Highlighting the transformative change of new materials in fashion and presenting the latest materials in the garment industry, materials will cover everything from local culture and heritage to technological and sustainable innovations.
Material Innovation at NEXT@Fashion InStyle
The NEXT@Fashion InStyle exhibition zone is funded by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) of the Hong Kong SAR Government. Thailand is the strategic partner of NEXT@Fashion InStyle, powered by the Thailand Creative Culture Agency (THACCA) and the National Soft Power Development Committee.
Visitors to NEXT@Fashion InStyle can explore how innovative materials are revolutionizing the fashion industry in areas of sustainability, performance and design novelties. Self-Portrait’s founder and designer, Han Chong, worked with the show as the ambassador to bring together these 60 pioneering material suppliers and five visionary local designers to showcase the versatility of new materials in the fashion industry.
In collaboration with these five designers, the exhibition will showcase the synergy of creative design, advanced material properties, smart technology, biodegradability and upcycling techniques, highlighting the transformative potential of innovative materials in the fashion industry. A series of seminars will further explore emerging trends in sustainable fashion and material applications, fostering an engaging platform for industry knowledge exchange.
Thai Pavilion
With the strong support of Thailand Creative Culture Agency (THACCA) and the National Soft Power Development Committee as the strategic partners and through this cross-cultural collaboration, they have assembled nearly 30 exhibitors from Thailand, showcasing the country’s fashion materials and their unique strengths in cultural heritage, sustainability and innovative technologies.
Fashion shows throughout the event always draw a large crowd.
To bring the Thai designs to life, as well as materials from other countries, fashion shows held during the course of the entire event will showcase the latest designs and material applications.
Because discovery and sourcing don’t only happen on the show floor, Fashion InStyle has gone to great lengths to seamlessly provide an online/offline experience with “EXHIBITION+. With this hybrid model, buyers can discover products and services not only at the physical fair but also through the Click2Match smart business-matching platform and hktdc.com Sourcing.
