The Asia Fashion Fair (AFF) Osaka 2018, a bi-annual event, will be held from April 10 to 12, 2018, at Mydome Osaka, in Japan. The biggest event for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) in the textiles and garments industry has brought together around 3,000 exhibitors from China and 100,000 buyers since 15 years.

The expo has been widely recognised and highly praised by industry players worldwide. With enough space for 365 booths, the show will be attended by 323 exhibitors, including 258 ready-to-wear manufacturers, 27 fashion accessories companies, 20 fabrics suppliers, 14 home textiles producers, 3 auxiliary materials makers, and one samples supplier, with many of the exhibitors originating from Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Japan, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, the US, and Vietnam, among other countries and regions.

The exhibits will be grouped together in zones according to the exhibitor’s specialty, with zones for knitting, tatting, Southeast Asian factories, fabrics and auxiliary materials, home textiles, ODMs, furs and down, underwear, children’s wear as well as fashion accessories. Majority of the exhibitors have longstanding trade relationships with Japan and are able to address the demands in terms of OEM, ODM, quality, limited quantities, and low cost.
