CEO of UKFT , the British Textile and fashion network , shared their expert perspectives on the obstacles fashion manufacturing faces .
“ The biggest problem that the industry faces is sustainability ,” he said , “ whether that ’ s sustainability in terms of raw materials or in terms of business sustainability .”
Adam highlighted the need for “ big solutions ” to address this sustainability crisis , echoing the need for changes throughout the value chain .
“ When we look at a brand that ’ s designing stuff , designing it in a sustainable way – that ’ s great , that ’ s brave , that ’ s important ,” he added . “ But what really interests me is those big innovations that are going to shift the dial in terms of how we approach things .”
Ella Gould , Head of Sustainability and Innovation at Selfridges , and another judge at the event , agreed .
“ The really exciting thing for me was looking at that entire supply chain , looking at all the different problems we ’ ve created for ourselves as an industry and coming up with novel solutions ,” she continued .
