This month’s Clothing Industry Magazine is dedicated to changes that are revolutionizing the apparel industry worldwide. As before, sustainability continues to prevail as a general concept, with attention being paid to newly developed trends like the use of recycled or bio-based fabrics, impressive recycling procedures, or non-water dyeing processes. New wonderful products manufactured from used agricultural produce such as pine leaves and the outer part of oranges have emerged as challenging materials for textile production to enhance conservation of the environment. Major clothing companies are continuing to release their exciting ESG reports with more action and disclosure than ever before seen in the clothing brands.
Technological innovation that is revolutionizing production and how consumers shop is also discussed within the Clothing Industry Magazine. AI and IoT intelligent manufacturing is gradually changing the traditional manufacturing model, which helps brands to save costs and shorten the production cycle. Also, the use of blockchain technology is opening up the supply chain so that the public can know where their garments are being made by brands. Virtual fashion is another major highlight, as more companies try digital wear designed for gaming platforms, social networking, and metaverse live events, especially younger audiences with technology.
Trade globalization patterns are also presented at the forefront as articles report on strategies of diversification in sourcing globally. Due to increased tensions around the world and the subsequent increase in the cost of materials, brands are seeking near-shoring and re-shoring options with near-shore locations for fashion brands including Mexico, Turkey, and Vietnam. The magazine also underlines the increasing emphasis on ethical production standards – wages, better working conditions of garment workers in South Asia and South East Asia, which corresponds to the sustaining responsibility of the industry.
As a monthly publication, Clothing Industry Magazine effectively describes the changes in the supply chain not only by presenting hundreds of articles ranging from sustainable manufacturing, implementation of new technologies, and global trade in the clothing production sector but it is also beneficial for the companies and customers as it provides knowledge about the changing global environment.
