Source Fashion, billed as Europe’s newest responsible sourcing show, has announced new dates for February 2025. In response to feedback from visitors, the next edition will take place mid-week from February 18 to February 20 at Olympia London.
The show continues on its upwards growth trajectory with an 65% increase in visitors year-on-year since it launched in February 2023, offering brands and retailers a diverse and safe space to source from audited manufacturers and artisans, enabling them to fuel the creation of responsibly made products.
Source Luxury, which has tripled in size since its launch, continues to grow and the next edition also sees the launch of footwear and leather sectors plus a greater presence for UK manufacturers.
“The new dateline for the February show is a very exciting move for us. We want to create a show that suits the needs of our audience”
The February show will be edited by product category instead of by country, incorporating Womenswear, Menswear, Footwear, Accessories, Source Luxury, and Technology & Services.
Suzanne Ellingham, director-source events of show organiser Hyve Group said: “The new dateline for the February show is a very exciting move for us. We want to create a show that suits the needs of our audience, and we couldn’t ignore our visitors’ desire for mid-week dates.
“Since launching the show in 2023 we’ve seen extraordinary growth. There is a clear need in the marketplace to find responsible manufacturers and to help retailers, brands and wholesalers build transparent, responsible, supply chains.
“With the new dates, expansion of new sectors, and floorplan re-edit, we can continue to create a place where our community can source, learn and exchange ideas and drive change.”
Source Fashion attracts hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of visitors. It’s the place to meet manufacturers from Peru to Cambodia, Pakistan to Portugal, and Hong Kong to Italy – all the way back to the UK, and source everything from white label to bespoke creation opportunities.
