Themed, 'The Future of Fashion', this edition of FBS will focus on manufacturing and how to reduce the cost of operations for profit maximization. Commenting on the theme, Ronke Adeola, Project Manager – FBS, said, “Fashion practitioners have been struggling to find ways to reduce the cost of manufacturing. Once the industry is able to drive down this critical cost of operations, profits will increase which will help grow the industry. With an economic agenda to increase export opportunities, it’s imperative we tackle this issue to foster growth in all areas of the value chain”

Opening its doors to private sector practitioners, textile companies, retailers, & manufacturers, fashion retailers, luxury fashion brands, designers, and fashion entrepreneurs, FBS will also touch on other critical sectors of the fashion industry such as retail, e-commerce, PR, communications and more.

Industry stakeholders will discuss on varied topics including: ‘Retail and 'Etail': Maximizing Opportunities and Reducing Risk’, ‘Communicating Fashion’, ‘Exporting Fashion to the World’ amongst others.

Facilitated by PAL Pensions, FBS will also feature a VIP Signature Session, titled “The Next Level”. Open to fashion entrepreneurs operating for a minimum of five years, the session will host thought leaders in Fashion and the Private Sector as they discuss how to build a sustainable business.

“To build an iconic, sustainable brand, certain systems have to be in place and a pension plan is one of them. As conversations increase concerning expanding the role the fashion industry plays in the economic landscape, there is a real opportunity to develop indigenous iconic brands and a need for businesses to be rightly positioned to attract game-changing growth opportunities. We look forward to an interactive and impactful session” comments Adaora Ude, Head, Branding & Communications, PAL Pensions.
