The February 2025 edition of Europe’s responsible sourcing show Source Fashion will provide a forum for discussing the critical topics impacting around sourcing and sustainability in fashion sector.
The event, set for 18-20 February 2025 at Olympia London, will feature hundreds of makers and manufacturers from key sourcing regions including Turkey, India, Taiwan, Ethiopia, China, the UK, France, and Portugal.
Source Fashion will serve as a key gateway for international makers and manufacturers to connect with the UK fashion buying community.
The show will display everything from raw materials and fabrics to trims, packaging, and contract manufacturing services, bringing together all the resources needed to bring new product ranges to life. The revamped floor plan will categorise exhibitors by product type.
A major new feature for the 2025 edition is the introduction of Source Debates, a new content space dedicated to addressing critical topics in responsible fashion.
Source Debates aims to tackle pressing sustainable fashion topics and will encourage dialogue among industry experts, brands, and attendees to challenge the status quo and explore actionable solutions.
Event director Suzanne Ellingham said: “Our show nourishes meaningful connections.
“We are passionate about bringing the brightest minds in the industry together by enabling global manufacturers and suppliers to meet with buyers who want the security of knowing every conversation is one that could lead to the creation of a new range.
“Source Fashion is home to inspiration and endless possibilities. We will be announcing a host of new content and continuing to delve into the big questions around fashion, sourcing, de-growth, and the language of sustainability. We can’t wait to welcome you in February, register now to make the most of all our announcements in the lead up to the show.”
Alongside the debates, the February edition will feature the existing Catwalk Stage which features live catwalks three times a day along with case studies, panels, and interviews from leading figures in fashion retail.
Designed to unite all retail decision-makers, Source Fashion is a place for designers seeking inspiration, sourcing directors looking to negotiate directly with manufacturers, and technologists eager to assess material quality firsthand.

There are some very interesting exhibitors here. I am definitely coming back, and I strongly suspect there’s going be a lot more exhibitors here next time, so February is definitely one to visit.”
