Burberry reveals its Autumn/Winter 2022 campaign, capturing the power of community as models come together in their individuality. Spotlighting the collection’s themes of belonging under the bright LA sun, the bold images and film harness the power of self-expression to forge togetherness.

Building upon the house’s code of duality, the campaign is a study of different identities. Elevated studio shots for the womenswear collection and candid outdoors shots for the menswear collection come together to present daring recombination of distinct Burberry codes and a fresh proposition for the future.

Burberry’s Chief Creative Officer Riccardo Tisci reconnects with the photography duo and friends of the brand Inez and Vinoodh to further explore his avant-garde approach to the house, whilst stylist Lotta Volkova brings definition and a new perspective to the attitudes expressed throughout the collections.

Across womenswear, waxed cotton coats and field jackets are presented alongside vintage-inspired floral lace corset tops in candy pink and red with matching pleated skirts, black leather bodysuits, and skirts.

The Lola bag also features in the campaign, celebrating the heritage of the brand and its founder, Thomas Burberry.

"To expand as a trade fair during the Corona crisis and in challenging times for the fashion industry is anything but a matter of course and was definitely a gamble. We are all the more pleased that we know even before the fair: It was right and important", says Sebastian Klinder, Managing Director of Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH.

65 selected international manufacturing companies will present their offerings from cut-make-trim (CMT) to high-end production at the new fair from 30 August to 1 September 2022.

A cluster of key sourcing countries such as Portugal, Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia, Bosnia, and Vietnam will create a business-relevant mix for risk diversification, the right product mix, and for every genre.

"End-to-end solutions from PLV to white label for brands, labels, and retailers are a strongly growing segment, which we offer with THE SOURCE an extremely high-quality environment in the long term and in close partnership with our exhibitors. We value a segment that is treated rather uncharitably in many places.

THE SOURCE will take place parallel to the MUNICH FABRIC START (30/08 – 01/09/2022) and BLUEZONE (30/08 – 31/08/2022) fairs, which will continue the pre-pandemic success story with a total of almost 900 exhibitors.

This validation confirms that the goals Burberry has set to reach net-zero emissions by 2040 are based on the latest climate science and meet the urgent need to keep warming to 1.5°C in line with the Paris Agreement. Burberry’s net-zero target is underpinned by a series of commitments across scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

In the near term, we commit to reducing absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 95% by 2023 from a 2017 base year and reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year.

In the long term, we commit to maintaining at least 95% absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG reductions from 2023 through 2040 against an FY2017 base year, while reducing absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2019 base year.

Scopes 1 and 2 cover emissions generated from Burberry’s own operations.

Caroline Laurie, VP of Corporate Responsibility, Burberry: “The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi targets) plays a critical role in ensuring ambitions set by businesses are in line with the latest climate science and will contribute to tackling the climate emergency.

Luiz Amaral, Chief Executive Officer of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi companies): “Climate science tells us that we need rapid and deep emissions cuts if we are to achieve global net-zero and prevent the most damaging effects of climate change.

EU-India Free Trade negotiations: an opportunity to rebalance trade relations and promote a global sustainable textile industry.

Today’s trade relations between the EU and India in textiles and apparel/clothing are characterised by a large and systemic trade deficit for the EU; annual imports from India exceed €6 bln (2021) – making it the 4^th supplier – while EU exports to India reached just half a billion – the 20^th place in our export markets.

Today’s trade relations between the EU and India in textiles and clothing are characterised by a large and systemic trade deficit for the EU; annual imports from India exceed €6 bln (2021) – making it the 4th supplier – while EU exports to India reached just half a billion – the 20th place in our export markets.

Against this background, the free trade negotiations are an opportunity to rebalance that relationship; European textile and clothing companies can offer high-quality and innovative products for the Indian market.

EURATEX, as the voice of textiles and apparel manufacturers in Europe, supports an ambitious EU trade agenda. In this context, EURATEX highlights that the sector needs open and efficient markets.

India today benefits from reduced customs duties due to GSP. For European companies instead, market access to India is challenging.

Director General Dirk Vantyghem commented: “We look to these negotiations with great interest. The FTA is an opportunity to develop a shared ambition between the European and Indian industry to make sustainable textiles the norm, and to create a regulatory framework where our companies can compete in a free and fair environment.”

Lenzing reports significant revenue growth and solid earnings for the first half-year.

The Lenzing Group’s revenue grew by 25.2 percent year-on-year to reach EUR 1.29 bn in the first half of 2022, primarily due to higher fiber prices. The earnings trend mainly reflects the cost trend in global energy and raw material markets, which affected the whole manufacturing industry.

Energy, raw materials and logistics costs rose sharply once again in the reporting period after cost pressure had already risen steadily throughout the 2021 financial year.

As a consequence, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) decreased by 13.3 percent year-on-year to EUR 188.9 mn.
