Innovation, Technology & Fashion Business (Hall 6)
For decades, fashion has been able to rely on the availability and the viability of affordable offshore production, with unit costs amortised across gigantic scale. Today, hostile economics, environmental legislation, climate change, and geopolitical uncertainty are upending all of those expectations, and supply chain strategies are shifting towards transparency, onshoring, on-demand, and alternative brand business models that break with tradition. This panel dives into how, where, and why technology and innovation can help open up a different paradigm of sourcing and production, and a different approach to managing the impact and the direction of fashion as a whole.
