The world of denim is a dynamic one, constantly evolving with fresh trends, cutting-edge #technologies, and a growing emphasis on #sustainability. Attending the recent 6th edition of the Denim and Jeans Show in #Vietnam was a truly enriching experience that allowed me to dive headfirst into these exciting developments. This premier event brought together the entire #denim ecosystem: manufacturers, garment washers, and leading brands. This comprehensive perspective provided a unique opportunity to explore the latest innovations shaping the future of denim. However, the true magic of the show unfolded through the connections I made. The event offered a platform to network with a vast network of denim professionals. Engaging in discussions and sharing insights with #manufacturers, #suppliers, and leading brands proved to be a fantastic learning experience. Building these connections not only broadened my knowledge but also holds the potential for future collaborations and exciting business opportunities. Overall, the Denim and Jeans Show in Vietnam was an invaluable experience. It provided a comprehensive understanding of the evolving denim industry, fostered connections, and facilitated learning. It was an honour to be a part of this dynamic event and witness the future of denim unfold.

BANGLADESH MULLS VIRTUAL MARKET TO ALLOW GARMENT MAKERS TO SELL DIRECTLY TO WESTERN CONSUMERS: A major feasibility study looked at options for developing a digital platform to support Bangladesh ready-made garment (RMG) makers. Such a platform would, in theory, enable Bangladesh-based garment manufacturers to sell domestically branded clothing directly to Western consumers. The study – which ought to put #fashion brands on alert – was funded by IFC -International Finance Corporation's Partnership for Cleaner Textile (PaCT II) programme and supported by the government of Denmark via the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA). There has long-since been talk in Bangladesh about how the country’s garment industry could improve its marketing and branding. To this end, Brand BGMEA recently launched the findings of a feasibility study which it described as a “precursor to developing a virtual marketplace tailored for Bangladesh’s Textile and Apparel Sector.” It identifies the market potential and sector readiness to digitise the apparel sector of Bangladesh. The objective of such a virtual marketplace would be to integrate the domestic textile industry into global value chains and capitalise on the shift toward online purchasing. The report looks at two strategic options for digitisation. The first is using online channels to expand current Business-to-Business (B2B) activities into emerging markets such as Asia and the Middle East. The second – and this is where things get interesting – is by establishing direct connections between Bangladeshi manufacturers and end customers (B2C), as a means of achieving superior profit margins and increased volumes of business. https://lnkd.in/eN-UQu9R

Denim stands out as the most captivating retail product I've encountered and the fusion of denim with my #brand adoration intensifies this enchantment. #Pakistan proudly shines among the top three global denim manufacturing exporters, powered by an unwavering textile industry and a knack for denim excellence. Our track record speaks volumes, featuring industry giants like Artistic Milliners, Rajby, Crescent Bahuman Ltd., US Group, Interloop Limited, Style Textile, Nishat Apparel, Naveena Denim Mills, Lucky Textiles and more, all contributing to our denim prowess. But here's the exciting twist – while we've been dominating the export scene, imagine the impact if these titans took on the local market with their own iconic brands. Our top-tier denim is not just for Pakistan; it's a force to reckon with in #KSA, Central Asian States, and #African regions too! Picture this: Levi Strauss & Co. Wrangler, Gap, and other world-renowned names, but crafted right here in Pakistan. It's a vision that merges global excellence with local ingenuity, driven by quality that's second to none. I know, there might be hurdles and priorities to navigate, but I am equally positive that markets shift, strategies evolve, and consumers demand innovation. Each company's journey is unique, fueled by a blend of circumstance and ambition. Let's keep our eyes on the horizon and see what the future holds. The #denimfashion landscape is ever-changing, and with our potential, Pakistan is poised to make waves – not just as exporters, but as the creators of iconic brands that resonate around the world, In sha ALLAH. #denimdreams #pakistanipride #globalinnovation

On the 18th of April 2024, I had the privilege of participating in the #FashionDialogue: Beyond The Seams event, centered around the theme “Unleashing Capacity; Advancing Textile, Garment, and Footwear Sectors in the African Continental Economy and Beyond," organised in partnership with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment. As a representative of the consumer's voice in the dynamic world of fashion on the panel, I delved into various aspects that are crucial for the industry's evolution. As someone deeply invested in good governance and policy, I'm driven by a passion to explore the impact of industries like fashion on our lives. With this, I shared valuable insights, from navigating trends to promoting sustainability and inclusivity. Here are the key talking points I covered: 1. Pricing: Discussed the importance of fair pricing strategies that balance affordability for consumers while ensuring sustainable practices throughout the supply chain. 2. Consumer Empowerment: Emphasized the significance of empowering consumers with information and choices, enabling them to make informed decisions aligned with their values and preferences. 3. Sustainability: Addressed the pressing issue of waste within the fashion industry, advocating for sustainable practices such as circular fashion, eco-friendly materials, and responsible production methods. 4. Diversity and Inclusivity: Highlighted the need for diversity and inclusivity in all aspects of the fashion industry, from representation in marketing campaigns to inclusive sizing and accessibility. 5. Opportunities: Cited statistics from the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics, revealing a significant rise in textile importation, indicating potential opportunities for growth and investment in the sector. This data, such as the 100.3 percent increase in textile importation to N365.5 billion, underscores the industry's resilience and potential for expansion. It was truly a wonderful dialogue 💞 #BuyNaija

To realize this vision, the industry must overcome certain challenges while leveraging potential enablers.
