Source Fashion, Europe's premier responsible sourcing event, will return to Olympia London from February 18th to 20th, 2025. The show will place a strong emphasis on UK suppliers and British craftsmanship, offering a diverse range of specialisms, from premium wovens to upcycling. The event serves as a key platform for both small clothing firms and global brands, with a focus on responsible manufacturing.
Suzanne Ellingham, Event Director, notes, “The UK is renowned for its excellence in fabrics and textiles and continues to lead the way in responsible manufacturing. Source Fashion provides a space for all, from small brands to large global names, to connect and showcase their capabilities.”
Several UK manufacturers are set to shine at the event, including National Weaving, a Welsh family-operated business known for premium woven and printed labels since 1987. Caroline Astley, Director, explains that the company’s commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and sustainability remains at its core.
Another standout is The Natural Fibre Company, based in Cornwall, which specializes in premium yarns made from sustainable natural fibers like wool, alpaca, and mohair. Sarah Hemingway, of The Natural Fibre Company, highlights the company’s dedication to “farm-to-garment” production and its work with rare breeds to deliver premium materials.
Circular Inc, an upcycling leader based in Brighton, will also exhibit its innovative approaches to fashion sustainability. Using CLO, a 3D fashion design software, Circular Inc has significantly reduced development time and costs while promoting circular design and repair.
Other notable exhibitors include Anezay, a global manufacturer with ethical production partnerships in the UK and China; Global Leic, a garment manufacturer focused on ethical practices with facilities in Morocco and Pakistan; and Modern Star Silk, a sustainable silk manufacturer in London known for its eco-friendly dyeing methods.
Source Fashion 2025 will provide an essential meeting point for manufacturers and designers aiming to shape the future of sustainable fashion, with exhibitors covering everything from raw materials and fabrics to contract manufacturing services.
