Join The Interline and Lectra live on 3rd July!
At the midpoint of 2025, fashion stands at the precipice of what industry experts have called “a decisive turning point,” where external pressures and long-simmering internal challenges are prompting the industry to ask itself some of the deepest possible questions.
With digital-native competitors capturing market share at unprecedented speed, supply chains under mounting pressure and historic scrutiny, and typical product journeys more fragmented than ever, the brands that will lead tomorrow will be the ones making fundamental changes today – not just deploying technology to iteratively improve individual tasks, but being willing to rethink the fundamentals of their business models.
On 3rd July, at 2PM London time (3PM Paris; 9AM New York) Ben Hanson, Editor-in-Chief of The Interline, and Maximilien Abadie, Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Product Officer at Lectra, will join a live, open-access webinar, to discuss and debate fashion’s long history of change, why the current moment is unique, and how the mandate to connect previously isolated domains – from design through production and into marketing – will define what it means for fashion and luxury brands to thrive.
Drawing on key insights, interviews, and global perspectives from the recent Lectra whitepaper “Meeting The Moment,” this webinar will spotlight:
- Why the current mix of disruptions makes this moment unlike any fashion has faced before – and what this means for the industry’s strategic outlook both immediately and long-term.
- How leading brands and manufacturers are breaking down silos between design, production, and marketing to create seamless data flows that drive intelligent decision-making.
- Why technology that transcends disconnected domains has become the key to balancing economic outcomes with environmental and ethical awareness
- How forward-thinking fashion companies are shifting their technology initiatives – measuring success by strategic business results rather than incremental task improvements.
Readers can sign up today to watch the discussion live and receive a recording for on-demand viewing.
