From 8 to 10 July 2025, Source Fashion, Europe’s leading responsible sourcing show, returns to London’s iconic Olympia Grand Hall, continuing its growth as a key event for responsible fashion sourcing. This summer’s edition promises a vibrant convergence of innovation, sustainability, and international opportunity, designed to reshape the future of ethical fashion sourcing.

Now in its third year, the event has seen 30 per cent growth season-on-season and welcomes over 25 countries, including manufacturing powerhouses like India, China, Bangladesh, Türkiye, and emerging African markets. For buyers, sourcing professionals, and designers, Source Fashion delivers the ultimate platform to discover fully audited, responsible manufacturers across every stage of the supply chain, from raw materials to finished garments.

This season marks Source Fashion’s move to The Grand Hall at Olympia, reflecting its rapid expansion and rising influence across the industry. Suzanne Ellingham Sourcing Director commented, “I am incredibly proud that Source Fashion is growing into the largest manufacturing trade show in Europe, our focus on quality businesses and leading the conversation on responsible sourcing is one that really resonates with the buying community.”

Catwalks That Rethink Fashion

Reskinned is announced as headline partner for the Source Fashion catwalk, delivering a live demonstration of fashion’s future: pre-loved, restyled, and revalued. The entire catwalk will showcase curated looks made exclusively from second-hand garments, challenging the industry's reliance on virgin materials.

“Our key theme this year is about rethinking how we use materials,” says Ellingham, “By partnering with Reskinned, we are not just talking about circular fashion—we are showing it in motion. Reskinned’s model proves that garments do not lose their style or relevance just because they have been worn before. In fact, with the right styling, they can be even more impactful."

Unmissable Content & Industry Debate
