British Fashion Council

In response to the evolving fashion landscape, the British Fashion Council has decided to cancel the June edition of the London Fashion Week and instead scale back to more targetted programmes in London and Paris, in a bid to create strong foundations to amplify the British menswear business.

As the fashion industry increasingly recognises the urgent need for sustainable practices, the shift towards circular manufacturing for textiles and apparel has gained momentum. However, despite notable innovations and advancements, significant opportunities and enablers remain to promote widespread adoption. A UKFT report identifies key enablers necessary for further advancement and action forward for the manufacturing sector to accelerate circularity.

The British Fashion Council (BFC) has come up with a tangible guide to support the fashion industry to push business growth, drive revenue, and provide strategic recommendations for stakeholders in a much changed and increasingly complex environment.

The industry-led Circular Fashion Innovation Network (CFIN) has published an interim report which highlights key insights and next steps in the UK's journey towards a circular fashion ecosystem by 2032. It focuses on three critical areas: Circular Business Models, Sustainable Manufacturing, and Recycling Infrastructure.

An industry-backed white paper lays out a clear call to the UK government to incentivise sustainability and secure funding for the development of high-impact circular infrastructure, jobs and skills in the country.

Key industry stakeholders have launched the Circular Fashion Innovation Network (CFIN) for an action-led roadmap to accelerate the UK to a leading circular fashion economy.

The Institute of Positive Fashion (IPF) of the British Fashion Council (BFC) has launched a new report on the environmental impact of returns in the fashion industry, with a suggested framework of recommendations.

A roadmap has been worked out to develop Circular Fashion Ecosystems in the UK in a bid for change that will benefit both the planet and people, creating thriving city-level circular fashion ecosystems that meet the needs of industry.

The British Fashion Council (BFC) has released the initial findings from Phase 2 of the Institute of Positive Fashion’s Circular Fashion Ecosystem Project, which  has identified the opportunities and challenges in the industry's transition to a more circular model.

A new £100,000 fund is being launched by Ebay UK and the British Fashion Council to help small businesses that offer circular fashion solutions. texfash.com reports.
