How Fashion Can Meet the Changes in Development, Sourcing and Production of Sewn Products The Interline | March 3, 2025 “The fashion industry and its supply chain are experiencing a moment of acute volatility, influenced by macroeconomic factors that continue to change daily.” This excellent piece from The Interline (link below) highlights the compelling factors putting our industry in flux, and explains how they will be addressed during the upcoming Texprocess Americas Symposium. ---- "Texprocess Americas has long been focused on pushing the textile and sewn product industries into the future. The show’s aim is to provide an opportunity for retail, brand, manufacturing executives, and professionals involved in the sewn products industry to meet with leading international manufacturers and distributors of machinery, equipment, parts, supplies, systems, technology, supply chain solutions, and other products and services. This year, the show has been carefully crafted to ensure that what is being showcased will prepare fashion professionals for fashion’s future. As per The Interline and MMGNET’s findings, 94% of fashion professionals believe technology will be essential or quite important to the future progress of the industry. Texprocess Americas has understood this and catered for it, as the show floor will feature a?Symposium?that will comprise of a series of sessions led by leaders and subject matter experts on topics such as trade, tariffs, AI and technology to provide actionable takeaways to drive success. There will also be a?Tech Zone?where companies, large and small, can display their new products and technologies, innovative ideas, practical solutions, processes and equipment.

This season will feature expert sessions on how to best use artificial intelligence across operations as well as process and data innovation for sustainability, and will include a live demonstration on achieving efficiency under pressure and actionable strategies for business expansion — with technology and innovation being the driving force behind each successful strategy. https://lnkd.in/ePqukYwA
