This edition, IATF came across more than 120+ exhibitors, many new and old ones, as they had set up their booths, showcasing the latest trends, colors, creations and designs. IATF creates a platform to bring together buyers and agents to exhibit their collections under one roof. Knowingly, UAE’s exclusive sourcing fair brings together exhibitors and industry professionals and buyers to interact and network with each other to gain knowledge about latest fashion trends. The event has proved to be a long and promising professional stand giving exhibitors an opportunity to expand their business opportunities within the Middle East. Our exhibitors travelled from Turkey, China, Japan, Italy, India, USA, France, Indonesia and so on to name a few.
