The summit program will cover diverse topics including transparency in the garment industry which allows worker representatives to better protect factory workers from abuse that can endanger their jobs, health, and even their lives. And it assures the people who buy the products that the people who made the products can easily find out which brands they produce for—a critical piece of information needed to escalate complaints about labor abuses.

Denim Premiere Vision will take place in France, May 23 to 24, 2018.
The show will host 72 exhibitors, of whom 50 per cent are weavers, including returning companies.
Denim PV–just like the main Premiere Vision’s show and organization–will be focused on a strong business-driven model. This means that the show’s aim is to support exhibitors and visitors in generating turnover and increasing their sales. On the other side, it will offer a stronger offer in terms of trend analysis as it’s involving protagonists of the scene–people who count, who buy and trendsetters.
Premiere Vision has always been recognized for its strong ability in discovering and informing about new trends, while doing it differently from others.
The show has been redesigned in order to present an easier and more effective layout that can better help recognizing its very segmented offer in a clear, immediate and easy-to-read way. The show has been given more uniformity in layout and booths’ style as companies are expected to show product, not marketing.
Experts will describe the future evolution of the denim, fashion and consumer scene. There will be three fashion seminars.
The show will host a Denim Smart Square Area, a space dedicated to guiding brands in their search for transparency and responsible sourcing.
The prospect of an escalating trade war between the US and China has rattled financial markets and alarmed many businesses.
By driving up prices and killing sales, the tariffs would wipe out 24,000 jobs at companies that make chemicals and the companies that use them.
The US has long accused China of predatory business practices that rob American jobs and swell Washington's trade deficit with Beijing.
Donald Trump campaigned for the presidency on a vow to strike a much tougher trade stance than his recent predecessors, who, he argued, had agreed to deals that gave an unfair advantage to America's competitors. The president has pointed to the US trade deficit as a sign of economic weakness caused by disastrous agreements and abusive behavior by China and other countries.
He has proposed tariffs on Chinese imports to punish China for forcing American companies to hand over technology in exchange for access to China's vast market. China fired back by targeting American products, including soybeans and small aircraft, for potential retaliatory tariffs.
However the president has probably realized a trade war would hurt some of his staunchest supporters — farmers in the American heartland who rely on exports. It might also hurt his Republican Party in the November congressional elections. He's worried about the mid term and the impact of his trade policy on farmers.
