From Soil to Studio: Rebuilding Regional Supply Chains in Fashion
As brands look closer to home for materials and manufacturing, a new question is emerging: what does it actually take to build a functioning regional supply chain? From regenerative fiber systems to seed-to-garment production and locally made collections, this panel brings together leaders working across the full ecosystem. The conversation will explore what’s working, what’s still missing, and how brands can move from storytelling to systems that support real, scalable change.
