On November 20-21, the Ethical Fashion Forum organized the very first
Global Sourcing Marketplace. The event was the first of its kind and
brought together over thirty ethical/eco suppliers and 200 visitors
from all over the world. It is often difficult for designers and
fashion brands to ensure they have an ethical supply chain. This event,
following the Spotlight on Sourcing Seminars, showed a glimpse of what
can be achieved in the future of fashion production.
Next to young designers and established ethical brands such as “Frank
& Faith”, “Ascension” and “Luflux”, the high street was present.
There were representatives from a range of big retailers including
representatives from Marks & Spenser, Topshop, and Ted Baker.
Some impressions of the Global Sourcing Marketplace:
"The Global Sourcing Marketplace brought together an impressive
combination of sustainable enterprises working along the design supply
chain. The marketplace provided many insights, tools and leads to move
our business forward. That, combined with the inspirational stories of
everyone in attendance, made it a really wonderful and fruitful two
days." Benita Singh, S4Style, Visitor.
“We are from India where sustainable textiles are very niche. It was
amazing to see the lively community of designers, brands and
researchers in London, and it made us feel we are part of a large
family. Thanks EFF.” Gijs Spoor, Zameen, Exhibitor.
