By GlobalData“The UK is very important now to the Philippines. We had a very good show (in February) with some enquiries from some boutique owners and meetings with John Lewis, M&S and Next. This is really a game-changer,” said Dawn Cabigon of Fairs and More.
While showcasing up-and-coming regions, July Source Fashion will also continue to host established European and Asian exhibitors.
This includes over 25 UK producers, as well as apparel suppliers from France, Italy, Spain and a strong Portuguese contingent such as textile manufacturers Ttantos, FLM and SMSenra.
Major pavilions from sourcing powerhouses China, India and Türkiye are confirmed, alongside reprised exhibitions from mature players like Tunisian integrated manufacturer Texpro Corp, who specialises in denim and flat garment manufacturing.
“We offer the reassurance that every exhibitor has been audited to ensure responsibility and transparency,” said Ellingham. “So if you find a new maker from an emerging region, you can feel confident they’ll make it through your auditing and due diligence practices.”
