"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."
"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."
