Organized by İZFAŞ and hosted by the İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, the event connects bridal and evening wear producers with fabric, accessory, and technology suppliers. The fair includes fashion shows and aims to foster international commercial connections with professional visitors from 13 countries.

Concurrently, the third annual Batman Textile Fair concluded its eight-day program. According to Mehmet Salih Kaplan, President of the Batman Chamber of Tradesmen and Craftsmen, the event facilitated product promotion for local artisans and increased commercial activity within the city's economy through the display of clothing, home textiles, and regional products.
