Scheduled for January 2025, the series will be held in collaboration with Business of Fashion and other prominent industry leaders.

This premier initiative is tailored for professionals seeking to gain valuable insights and engage with the visionaries shaping the future of fashion and textiles.

One of the highlights of the event will be an exclusive keynote address by Nick Blunden, President, Business of Fashion. Blunden will delve into findings from the State of Fashion 2025 report, developed in partnership with McKinsey & Co. Renowned as a go-to resource for industry decision-makers, the report offers a comprehensive analysis of critical trends, macroeconomic developments, and emerging growth opportunities. It blends rigorous research with expert insights to provide an actionable guidance for navigating the rapidly evolving fashion landscape.

The agenda will also feature a thought-provoking panel session, moderated by Brittany Sierra, Founder & CEO, Sustainable Fashion Forum and host of the Green Behavior podcast. The discussion will explore the transformative role of sustainability in fashion, offering attendees practical strategies for integrating sustainable practices into their operations.

In addition to the knowledge-sharing sessions, the series will include a complimentary networking lunch, creating an ideal platform for attendees to connect with peers and industry leaders.
