October 2022

After organising two successful editions of the most-awaited sourcing event of the sub-continent (Apparel Sourcing Week or ASW), it was time for us to get into something new, which could help the industry to get future-ready amidst the changing milieu. And thus, was conceived The Marketplace Conference 2022. We are rejuvenated after an immensely successful first-ever B2B Marketplace event for the Indian fashion industry.

As shared by the participants, it was very fulfilling for us to know how incisive sessions during the event helped the buyers (brands and retailers) and suppliers to get ready with the requisite know-how to negotiate the future challenges with élan.

Overall, it was a great learning experience for all the stakeholders (marketplace entrepreneurs, apparel and textile manufacturers, buying houses, apparel and home brands and retailers), as they converged under one roof for The Marketplace Conference, to decode B2B Marketplaces. We at Apparel Resources, will keep continuing to organise such innovative events to support the industry.

In this issue along with regular columns, we have done detailed stories on everything about the denim landscape – from the perspective of brands, factories and consumers, and we hope you will find it interesting.
