Meet the biggest buyers in European fashion:
Source Fashion is big. The biggest ready-made garment manufacturing show in Europe and the biggest B2B fashion trade show in the UK. Bringing many of Europe’s biggest fashion brands and retailers all under one roof in one of the world’s biggest fashion capitals – London.
This is THE event where buyers and designers come to make their decisions for future ranges, manufacturing partnerships and deals. It’s a cost-effective and convenient way to not only get your company and capabilities seen by the right people but to actually meet them and form valuable relationships.
Why exhibit at Source Fashion?
Meet the largest brands in one location
- Buyers with purchasing power from the top 25 retailers in the UK attend the show. This is where they come to meet garment manufacturers and suppliers like you and decide who they will source from next. There is no better way to access the biggest names in retail in one place.
Meet the entire buying / procurement team
- Many brands don’t just send one person but entire teams. They are looking to make decisions at the show so will send everyone necessarily; owners and CEOs, Buying Managers, Heads of Procurement, Product Designers, Operations Managers and Sustainability Specialists.
Get into the UK market
- The way retail buyers meet their manufacturers is changing. They no longer travel internationally to explore new sourcing options. Now the quickest way to make it into the UK market is to meet them in the UK at the exact moment they’re looking for a business like yours.
Why should you visit?
Meet exhibitors from over 25 countries
- Source Fashion has over 25 countries represented, with manufacturers joining us from around the world, from Peru to Cambodia, Pakistan to Portugal, Hong Kong to Italy and Greece all the way back to the UK. Not forgetting the industrial powerhouses like China, India and Turkey.
Source from audited manufacturers
- All exhibitors are required to have had a recent audit from Sedex or a recognisable audit institution. This gives you confidence that you will meet manufacturers and suppliers that have responsible business practices.
Explore everything Source Fashion has to offer
- Listen to industry experts as they discuss the challenges of responsibility in fashion, and be inspired at The Source Catwalk, where a collection of entirely sustainable garments has been brought together to flaunt the materials of the future.
