Source Fashion, Europe’s leading responsible sourcing event, returns from 8th to 10th July 2025 at The Grand Hall, Olympia London, with a refreshed content agenda and influential speaker line-up aimed at helping the industry thrive amid global uncertainty.
Themed ‘Thriving in a Volatile World,’ this season’s programme explores how fashion businesses can adapt and lead during times of disruption. Key sessions will focus on sustainability, sourcing, trade, economics, and resilience, addressing real-world issues like geopolitical instability, rising costs, and supply chain disruption.
Suzanne Ellingham, Event Director at Source Fashion, said, “We’re recognising that for many, just surviving is the priority. From Brexit to global pandemics and commodity volatility, we’ve reached a point where volatility is the new normal. Our programme reflects this reality.”
Headline speakers include Hash Ladha, Former CEO of Jigsaw; Jane Blacklock, Head of ESG at Passenger; Bill McRaith, Executive Adviser at Future-Proof Fashion; and Mark Sumner, Textiles Lead at WRAP.
Opening on 8th July, the panel ‘Beyond Transparency, Building a Culture of Accountability in Fashion’ will examine how brands can shift from surface-level commitments to embedded responsibility. McRaith’s talk ‘Volatility is Nothing New, But Are the Rules Changing?’ will analyse industry disruption and offer data-backed strategies for resilience.
On 9th July, Ladha will share leadership insights in a fireside chat on navigating geopolitical and economic turbulence.
