IFCO Istanbul Fashion Connection is held at the Istanbul Expo Center (IFM), close to Istanbul Airport on the European side, with the summer edition running in August 2026 (the fair also holds a February edition). IFCO is one of Türkiye's flagship apparel and fashion sourcing shows, covering womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, denim, leather and fashion accessories. It draws large numbers of international buyers, importers, wholesalers and brand sourcing teams alongside Turkish manufacturers, filling the extensive IFM halls over its run. Because IFM sits near the airport rather than in the historic core, the surrounding hotel cluster and the districts along the metro line into the city book up early during show week as exhibitors and buyer delegations arrive together. Rates rise and flexible inventory thins as the dates approach. Event Escapes shows live, bookable rates for hotels around the Istanbul Expo Center, sorted by real distance from IFM, so you can compare genuinely near-venue options against city-centre alternatives before you commit.
