Dallas Apparel & Accessories Market 2026

How it compares

MAGIC Las Vegas is the national event, with brands and buyers from every region and menswear, sourcing and off-price in one convention hall. A brand chasing national reach in one trip goes there. Dallas works differently: its showrooms stay in place between markets, and for stores in Texas, Oklahoma and the central states it is the shorter and cheaper trip, with deeper western and young contemporary assortments.

Atlanta Apparel is the closest match in format, a showroom mart with temporary floors and several markets a year. Southeastern retailers usually find Atlanta nearer. Dallas has the advantage in western and English apparel, with the largest permanent showroom floors for that category in North America.

LA Market Week at the California Market Center is the West Coast choice and the place to meet Los Angeles labels selling from their own showrooms. Chicago Collective Women's serves Midwest specialty stores.

Menswear buyers have their own Dallas dates at the Dallas Men's Show in January and July, while KidsWorld runs alongside several of the apparel markets.

The right trip for boutiques and regional chains in Texas and the central states that want to write next season's women's apparel orders and restock ready-to-ship goods in one visit.

Who exhibits

Most of the market sits in permanent showrooms on floors 13 and 15, where multi-line reps such as Linde Lee, Pam Martin & Co. and D'Elementstyle carry labels like Solid & Striped, TKEES and Born a Kennedy. In October more than 300 temporary exhibitors join them: young contemporary lines on floor 12, a juried mix of women's apparel, footwear and accessories on floor 13 with names such as 7 For All Mankind, BuDhaGirl and Charleston Shoe Co., and ready-to-ship jewelry, apparel and gifts on floor 11.

Dallas Apparel & Accessories Market 2026

October brings the first spring 2027 collections into the showrooms alongside goods for holiday selling, making it the year's last chance to cover both seasons in one trip. Boutique Hub leads trend tours through the floor 13 temporaries and the floor 15 showrooms, both floors hold block parties, and the Contemporary Trend Fashion Show follows a pre-show party in the World Trade Center atrium on the opening evening. The next market is in January 2027.

• Cash & Carry booths on floor 11 run only in March, June and October, so this is the last chance of the year to buy holiday stock you can take home the same day.
• On the final day the temporary floors close in the early afternoon while many permanent showrooms keep taking appointments until early evening, so see the temps first and leave the showrooms for Friday afternoon.
• First-time buyers clear a new-business check at registration with a state sales tax permit and proof of a store, website or wholesale invoices, so send the documents before you travel.
• The Boutique Hub trend tours are the quickest way to find new lines among the hundreds of booths on floor 13 and the contemporary showrooms on floor 15.

Exhibiting

Temporary booths are sold in 10-by-10 units on floors 11, 12 and 13, with lighting, walls, chairs and racks or shelving included and a deposit due with the lease. Exhibitors may set up their own stands, and fixtures are stored free between markets when the next lease is signed. The temporary floors suit emerging labels testing the Dallas buyer base before taking a permanent showroom; Cash & Carry space suits brands with stock on hand.
