Editor's letter

As the global apparel sector continues to navigate sustainability alongside raised geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions, Just Style’s last issue of 2024 asks industry experts from across the supply chain to share their thoughts on the shape of sourcing in 2025.  In this feature we also delve into the opportunities that lie ahead from AI and digitalisation to agility and resilience.  

2030 is only five years away and is when many fashion brands have committed to achieving sustainability goals. We find out whether these companies have time to reach their targets, and if not — what happens next.

Meanwhile, extreme weather events, trade disputes and increasing regulation are all playing into the struggles currently facing the cotton sector. Just Style examines the key industry initiatives and traceability technologies that could give the sector an edge in the months and years ahead.  

We hope you enjoy our last issue of the year, and we’ll see you again in 2025!
