Buying in Times of Uncertainty: Online Roundtable for Fashion Buyers

As countries carefully emerge from lockdowns, it is still unclear what the future looks like for the fashion industry. Fashion retailers need to both tread carefully and think creatively to find ways to meet consumer demand and thrive again.

Could this be the opportunity to engrain more sustainable practices in the way businesses work, protecting the most vulnerable in the supply chain and lowering the environmental impact of the industry?

On Thursday the 21st of May we will be holding our fourth round table discussion titled ‘Buying in times of uncertainty’. With a select group of fashion retail buyers we will talk in an atmosphere of pre-competitive collaboration about topics such as:
– What changes do we see and further expect in consumer behaviour regarding fashion choices?
– What strategies can we put in place to mitigate risks linked to sudden changes in demand as experienced during this crisis?
– What opportunities do we see to make our processes more environmentally friendly, in the short, medium, and long term?
– … and any other questions that are on your mind as buyer

As they say, ‘we are all in this together’. Let’s leverage each other’s experience and expertise to all come out smarter, and continue on our path towards a more sustainable fashion retail industry.
