Drapers Conscious Fashion Summit 2026

On 11 March, Lectra will be at the Drapers Conscious Fashion Summit in London, joining fashion brands, retailers, and industry leaders to explore the future of transparency, responsible sourcing, and digital transformation.

As the industry moves toward more accountable and connected supply chains, the ability to structure, manage, and share product and sourcing data is becoming increasingly important. Behind every transparency initiative, stronger collaboration model, and more informed decision lies a solid digital foundation.
 

The Data Behind Transparency

Collab Session: How Boggi Milano Structured Product & Sourcing Data at Scale
Wed 11 March | 11:50 AM - 12:30 PM 

 While the industry is increasingly focused on Digital Product Passports and transparency, the reality is that these initiatives can only work if product and sourcing data is first structured, consistent, and shared across teams and suppliers. This session brings the conversation back to one of the key operational challenges many brands are working to solve today: structuring product and sourcing data so it is consistent, connected, and shared across teams and suppliers.

Through Boggi Milano’s experience, the discussion will highlight how they brought more structure and control to product management and the production supply chain, enabling clearer workflows, stronger collaboration, and better guidance for suppliers throughout prototyping, sampling, and production.

The session will explore:

•  Why Boggi decided to implement PLM to bring order and structure
• How this improved collaboration and visibility across teams and suppliers
• How managing product and material data more consistently supports day-to-day operations
• How this strong data foundation supports future initiatives, including sustainability and closer supplier collaboration

Sourcing for change

MAIN STAGE PANEL:  Driving innovation and impact from farm to fashion
Wed 11 March | 2:20 PM – 2:50 PM

Rethink sourcing with a panel of real-life doers sharing practical advice on scaling innovations in natural fibres, navigating the ethical and social challenges of fairtrade cotton, and supporting farmers to stay sustainable.

As EPR on textiles and Digital Product Passports begin to reshape global sourcing, panellists will discuss how to map suppliers, manage traceability across complex networks, and uphold ethics and transparency at every tier — while tackling shifting certification standards and ensuring living wages and fair pricing throughout the supply chain.

The session will also explore how digital tools and data platforms are helping brands map suppliers, manage traceability, and turn sourcing commitments into measurable action.
