Europe's fastest-growing sourcing show, Source Fashion, has announced its trend partnership with retail trends consultancy Insider Trends, and launches a Transparency Report and webinar exploring what transparency and accountability really looks like in retail.
Exploring whether retail can ever truly consider itself sustainable when it's all about the sale of new things; how even resale, repairs, and rental have an environmental impact and are treated as add-ons for businesses who make money selling new products; and a move away from terms like 'sustainable', the Transparency Report outlines how fashion and retail can move forward.
Suzanne Ellingham, Director of Sourcing, Source Fashion says; "We're delighted to continue our partnership with Insider Trends."

Anti Copying in Design (ACID), the UK's leading design and intellectual property (IP) advocacy organisation, and SnapDragon Monitoring, a renowned online brand protection and reputation management specialist, and have forged a strategic partnership aimed at safeguarding design businesses from the perils of counterfeits and IP infringements.
In today's landscape, counterfeiting poses a significant threat to all industries, as counterfeiters continually exploit genuine brand success to produce low-quality imitations of coveted products.
These counterfeit goods not only erode brand revenues and compromise IP, but also endanger consumers due to the use of toxic materials.
A recent SnapDragon survey discovered that nearly 20 percent of UK SMEs have fallen victim to counterfeit product sales, resulting in severe financial losses for 93 percent of them.
