Future Fabrics to move to Brussels
The Future Fabrics Expo is moving to Brussels for the 2026 edition, and will run alongside the Textiles Recycling Expo.

Organisers said the move has been driven by “much-needed industry collaboration to drive positive change along the fashion and textile supply chain at scale”.

Since 2011, FFE has taken place in London, with smaller editions and curations held in New York and Paris. This year, it teamed up with the Performance Days fairs, which hosted FFE’s Innovation Hub in New York, Shanghai, Portland and Munich. 

Nina Marenzi, founder of The Sustainable Angle and FFE, said: “Presenting alongside the Textiles Recycling Expo has synergistic effects with strong complementary advantages for our exhibitors and visiting brands and will boost the Future Fabrics Expo sourcing platform. 

“With significant EU policy changes reshaping our industry, Brussels provides a suitable location for Future Fabrics Expo 2026 to enable the industry to meet climate-related targets in this new regulatory environment.”
