What industry leaders say

 

We were delighted to welcome Touker Suleyman (Retail Entrepreneur and BBC TV Dragon) and his team to our edition of Source Fashion. We spoke to him about his experience of Source Fashion, and why he thinks it's a game-changer for the fashion industry.

 

 

From large retailers to smaller independent brands, Source Fashion caters to the entire Fashion industry. We spoke to John Lewis, Lulu Guinness and Milk Clothing about their experience at the show and the importance of circularity in their supply chains.

 

Walter Reginald is a UK leather and fur fabrics supplier, who advocates responsible leather production methods by only using by-products of the meat industry, preventing it from going to landfill. 

We visited the Walter Reginald factory to see some of the incredible materials they create and chat about the work they are doing in the fashion industry.

The UK has always been recognised as a centre for excellence in fabrics and textiles. Furthermore, the UK is one of the leaders in drawing attention to ethical manufacturing. We spoke to UK garment manufacturers Fashion Enter and Amplebox at our July edition of Source Fashion, about what they do and why they were so keen to exhibit

Fashion designer

"The fashion system has been undergoing much needed disruption in the last decade, this is systemic and require long term thinking. Source Fashion has recognised that it needs to be at the helm of that disruption. By encouraging brands to prioritise and plan for long-term impact over short-term gains and engaging with Long Term Futures, Source signals to the industry how we must work today to build a better, more ethical future. It's a must-attend for anyone committed to shaping the future of fashion."

Geraldine Wharry, Fashion Futurist,  Trend Atelier

 

"We are running out of time – we need to radically shift to a post-growth fashion and textile economy, and fashion retailers and brands need to unite to make this a reality. Source Fashion is a great example of how the industry can get involved in sometimes difficult conversations but share ideas on how fashion needs to overhaul its ways of working if we want to secure a more sustainable and ethical future."
