As fashion executives across the industry look to the year ahead, a key priority, as reported in the BoF and McKinsey & Co. State of Fashion 2025, will be to streamline collaboration with suppliers. Ongoing shifts in geopolitics and global trade will impact resourcing, increasing the importance of trading with politically-aligned states as well as nearshoring. Meanwhile, sustained pressure from international governments to find solutions to fashion's wastefulness will encourage investment in new technologies and innovative materials.
Indeed, sustainability and innovation will be a key focus at the 2025 Winter edition of Texworld NYC, an international trade fair which takes place biannually in New York. The upcoming edition, which opens next week, is the largest textile and apparel sourcing event on the East Coast of the United States, and will welcome manufacturers, fabric suppliers, buyers and industry professionals. Exhibitors from across the globe will demonstrate their responses to the pressing needs of the industry — such as shorter lead times, smaller minimums, and greater transparency across the chain.
