The Future Fabrics Expo returns to NYC in 2024 for a two-day Edition on 19-20 November at Metropolitan Pavilion (125 W 18th St, Manhattan, New York)! 🏙️✨ We’re excited to share a short roundup video of the 2024 London Future Fabrics Expo. While the NYC Edition will be smaller than London, it will be in  the same spirit and follows the same formula... Since 2011, Future Fabrics Expo has evolved and is now the largest dedicated global sourcing destination for sustainably produced textiles and materials for fashion, home, and interiors. The Expo is not only a sourcing destination and showcase, it’s also educational #LearningBySourcing, aiming to inspire the industry to source responsibly and operate within planetary boundaries. 🌎 Exhibitors and partners, please visit the link in our bio to register and get in touch.

We're still buzzing after our recent return trip to The Sustainable Angle's Future Fabrics Expo in London. NFW Founder & CEO Luke Haverhals was invited to participate in a panel entitled "Clothes That Don’t Make Us Sick: Solutions to the Problem of Plastics" alongside Maria Westerbos of the Plastic Soup Foundation, Carmen Danner of HeiQ AeoniQ™, Professor Barbro Melgert, and Designer Patrick Grant. Thank you to everyone that attended or stopped by our booth. It was great networking with fellow exhibitors and brands who share our commitment to a restorative and regenerative future in the fashion industry! Photo credit: Sophie Harbinson/Paul Cochrane

Vogue Business is looking at the state of the «Next-Gen» Material Industry. Many brands show ambitions but fail when it comes to real commitment. Why? It's about the rules of the game - those need to change. The cost of materials must equal the price, which is clearly not the case today. Real costs are pushed onto next generations, which is more than unfair towards A) our kids and B) responsibly sourced - and therefore more expensive - material alternatives. Once those outlines change, the material revolution will be like a tsunami. Policy makers must initiate this change, and create a framework for the future.
