MANCHESTER – “It is very difficult to be ethical when huge amounts of money are involved.” Fashion commentator Colin McDowell OBE opened the Association of Suppliers to the British Clothing Industry (ASBCI) Spring Conference with a stark reminder of the current climate in the industry.
Over the course of the day at Manchester’s Renaissance Hotel, representatives from various companies took to the stage to evaluate the state of fashion in 2019, and offer suggestions about how to shift away from the current sustainable and ethical challenges it faces. Kieran Mitchell reports from the event.
