SOURCING AT MAGIC LAS VEGAS:
WHERE BIG IDEAS BLOOM
The February 2025 edition of SOURCING at MAGIC gathered the global fashion community of manufacturers and suppliers across fashion technology, fabric, trim and print to collaborate, innovate, and do business. Here, we recap some of the key moments from this season's event.
SOURCING at MAGIC is known for its on-site education sessions where industry thought leaders come together to discuss current topics from policy and sustainability to material and color trends, and more. See below for some of this season's top sessions and expert speakers.
During "Policy Pivots within the New Administration" attendees heard from Kate Nishimura, Sr. News & Features Editor, Sourcing Journal; Lloyd Parks, CEO, Dominisii Inc., and Marc Weiss, Co-Founder, Management One about how to navigate the current shifting political tides.
Frances Harder, Founder, Fashion for Profit and Ashley McPherson, Buyer Relations Specialist for SOURCING at MAGIC hosted sessions for entrepreneurs during their "SOURCING 101" and "SOURCING 102" sessions, where they laid the foundation for new brands entering the market.
