The premiere gateway into the UK fashion industry has just reopened registration for its largest show yet.
Source Fashion, an annual event for UK manufacturers, will take place at Olympia London in mid-July. The show will feature over 350 makers and manufacturers, representing more than 25 countries from crucial sourcing regions.
Alongside the focus on UK manufacturers, an expansion to the event will be included to house Source Luxury.
“Source Fashion is designed to make creating ranges and finding good manufacturers to work with easy. It’s the place where designers can come to gather inspiration, sourcing directors can discuss supply and range with manufacturers, and technologists can see first-hand the quality of the materials,” said Suzabbe Ellingham, director of sourcing at Source Fashion.
“The July edition of Source Fashion continues our upward trajectory with more diversity, pavilions, and higher quality, slower luxury producers and makers from Europe and worldwide. I am excited about the rapid expansion of Source Luxury, and I know this will excite our visitors just as much. The July show will continue to build on our core values, offering a safe space for brands and retailers to source from.”
Source Fashion has put international markers and manufacturers at the fingertips of UK brands, wholesalers, and corporations.
It has become a must-attend experience for decision-makers in buying, sourcing and procurement.
The introduction of Source Lucury will attract a new market, providing high-quality items that are made to last. Visitors will discover a stunning array of high-quality Portuguese producers, including Lagofra, SMSentra, Ttantos and ITJV Comercio.
For the first time, a Ghana pavilion will be featured in Europe alongside partners from Ethiopia, Tanzania, Madagascar, and Nepal. Visitors will also be able to explore the expanding pavilions from manufacturing powerhouses China and India.
From raw materials, fabrics, trims, and packaging to contract manufacturers offering in-house design services, the show will bring inspiration and tools together in one exciting destination.
Visitors will hear from industry experts as they discuss the road to a more ethical and transparent future for fashion. Topics will cover a broad spectrum of discussion, including the circular economy and extending the lifespan of clothes, how to align your brand to the shifting regulatory landscape, building trust and transparency across your supply chain, and the future of alternative materials in fashion.
