Source Fashion, Europe's prominent responsible sourcing event, has set new dates for its next edition, running from 18th–20th February 2025 at Olympia London. Following visitor feedback, the show will now take place mid-week to better align with industry needs.
Since its debut in February 2023, Source Fashion has seen impressive growth, with a 65 per cent annual visitor increase, providing a platform for brands and retailers to connect with ethically audited manufacturers worldwide.
The February event will broaden its offerings with expanded sectors including footwear, leather, and a heightened focus on UK manufacturers. Additionally, the show will reorganize its layout by product category such as Womenswear, Menswear, Footwear, Accessories, Source Luxury, and Technology & Servicesrather than by country.
Suzanne Ellingham, Director of Source Events at Hyve Group, noted that the shift to mid-week dates directly addresses visitor preferences and aligns with the increasing demand for sustainable sourcing options. She highlighted that the event's objective is to support brands in establishing responsible supply chains.
The event now ranks as Europe’s largest garment manufacturing showcase, with exhibitors from regions like Peru, Cambodia, Pakistan, and Italy, drawing high-profile visitors such as John Lewis, ASOS, and Harrods. Simon Platts, Co-Founder of Recomme, encouraged industry professionals to attend, highlighting the show’s commitment to responsible sourcing and its alignment with sustainability goals.
