Fashion SVP London | 28-30 September 2014

Fashion SVP | Fashion sourcing meets manufacturing

Fashion SVP is designed especially for those who buy direct from factories. The concept of the show is to provide you with the opportunity to meet suppliers providing ‘near-shore’ manufacturing services, so you can discover what Europe, Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean has to offer.

Held over three days at Olympia, London’s best known event venue, this is the place to obtain the latest information on sourcing know-how, evaluate potential new suppliers and network with other like-minded professionals from your industry.

The Manufacturers’ Showcase
Our focus is to present a hand-picked selection of manufacturers able to meet the varied demands of retailers, brands, designers, and large importers. Leading supplier from the UK, Europe and Mediterranean region will be showcasing their products and services and discussing their capabilities.

All the manufacturers at Fashion SVP have been hand-picked by our in-house team, responding to feedback from senior sourcing professionals. Over 70 suppliers from, among others, UK, France, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal, Egypt, Bulgaria, Romania, Tunisia, Poland and Turkey will be on hand to discuss men’s, ladies’ and children’s garment production with a huge variety of garment types. Knitwear, jerseywear, wovens, denim, embroidered pieces, swimwear, lingerie, hosiery and accessories are all represented at the event in casual, tailored, formal, sports and leisure wear.

The Seminar Sessions
These valuable sessions will ensure you keep up-to-date on the latest developments in the UK and further afield, for example in-depth country briefings, near-shore vs. Far East, costing and negotiation, ethical and sustainable sourcing, logistics and supply chain, new technology, supplier evaluation and QC and regulatory issues. Expert speakers from a range of disciplines and organisations, from retailers, brands, retail trend consultancies and manufacturers will present excellent insights, advice and tips and innovative ways to improve your sourcing approach. The seminar programme is being finalised at present and will be announced shortly.

History and Development
Fashion SVP was launched in 2011, and the event’s successful development is due in part to a specially invited advisory group comprised of senior professionals from retail, clothing brands and fabrics. Our expert group guides the concept development, helping the organisers to ensure the event meets changing market requirements. This means that when you visit the event you can be sure that it is up-to-date, relevant and responding to your needs.
