The sessions on Sunday (16 July) include sustainable stylists Rebekah Roy and Sarah Regensburger exploring the creation of a sustainable range and a vegan fashion brand. Plus, Jack Stratten, head of trends at Insider Trends, will present ‘From sustainability to transparency: the future of responsible fashion.’ He will use statistics, fresh perspectives, and global case studies to shed light on the industry’s shift from sustainability to transparency. Attendees will also gain insights into consumer expectations, the evolving fashion production landscape, and the significance of these factors for brands.
Monday’s programme features an in-depth discussion on what the UK’s new unilateral preferences trade agreement will mean for global sourcing. It will include UK policymakers sharing valuable information on how to leverage the recently announced Developing Countries Trading Scheme, which aims to reduce import duties from 65 developing countries, stimulate trade, and drive prosperity.
Angela Gaskell, group sourcing, sustainability, quality & fit director at fashion brand N Brown, and Lucy Peacock, head of pre-loved at resale site eBay will be talking about responsible sourcing and addressing where a garment starts versus where it should restart. The duo will explore various strategies for brands and manufacturers to adopt to embrace material reuse and stay ahead of the curve.
