What are the biggest fashion shows in Colombia?
Events like Bogotá Fashion Week, Colombiamoda and Plataforma K have made Colombia a regional leader in textiles and leatherwork.
The presence of Colombian designers on major global fashion platforms such as Milan and Paris, dressing international celebrities and being recognized with awards for their creations, positions the country as a leader in the textile industry in the region. These are some of the events held in the country throughout the year related to the textile sector.
Colombiamoda and Colombiatex
Colombiatex is the largest showcase in Latin America for fabrics, supplies, machinery, and chemicals for apparel and home textiles. This event, held in Medellín, opens the business agenda in the continent and is the starting point for national and international brands beginning their distribution journey in Latin America.
In previous years, Colombiatex has welcomed more than 26,000 visitors, over 1,800 international buyers from 41 countries, and 9,200 national buyers.
In addition, during the opening of the Inexmoda UPB Knowledge Pavilion, 9,000 people involved in the textile production chain received training. Just like Colombiatex, another event by the Institute for Export and Fashion (Inexmoda) is Colombiamoda, the most important fashion fair in Latin America. In figures, the event has surpassed 12,000 national and international buyers from more than 20 countries.
Bogotá Fashion Week
Bogotá aims to be part of the circuit of fashion capitals, and that is why it holds an annual event that has become an international platform for fashion promotion and commerce, focused on design; bringing together multiple national and international players to boost the creative talent of emerging and established Colombian designers, strengthen their brands, and expand their market: the Bogotá Fashion Week.
International Footwear and Leather Show (IFLS) + EICI
The Colombian Association of Footwear, Leather, and Leather Goods Manufacturers, ACICAM, annually organizes the International Footwear and Leather Show IFLS+EICI, which over the years has been recognized as the most important business platform in Colombia and the Andean region for the footwear, leather, and leather goods sector; where manufacturers, buyers, designers, suppliers of inputs, technologies, services, and components meet fashion and innovation.
Ixel Moda
In the Caribbean region, there is also space for the textile industry with the Latin American Fashion Congress Ixel Moda in Cartagena, which includes a series of cultural events and runways with the participation of around 10,000 people.
With a contribution to GDP of 14.34 trillion (representing 9.4%) and a chain that accounts for 10% of the country’s industrial production, fashion is gaining more strength in Colombia, as shown by the numerous events held throughout the year in different regions.
