Responsible fashion sourcing trade show, Source Fashion July 2025, is taking place at its new venue The Grand Hall, Olympia London on 8-10 July with a global exhibitor base that it says is “designed to meet the moment”.
The show, which is open for registration, is set to bring together audited manufacturers from over 25 countries with brands, retailers, and sourcing professionals that want to build a more transparent and agile supply chain.
Source Fashion explains its summer’s ‘Thriving in a Volatile World’ theme is in direct response to the challenges currently facing the industry, from geopolitical instability to regulatory shifts and environmental imperatives.
