In response to growing demand for transparency and authenticity in fashion, responsible sourcing trade show, Source Fashion, is introducing Fashion Deconstructed, an immersive, hands-on zone dedicated to the making process, from weaving and upcycling to repair and live production demonstrations.

Takes place at Olympia London on 13-15 January 2026, Fashion Deconstructed invites visitors to step inside the making of fashion, exploring the craft, material intelligence, and production techniques that underpin responsible, high-quality design.

Fashion Deconstructed programme highlights

The Repair & Upcycling Workshop: Giving Your Clothes a Second Life hosted by Fashion Enter invites visitors to explore the fundamentals of visible mending and garment repair as well as creative upcycling. Expert makers will demonstrate simple techniques that extend the lifespan of clothing, reduce textile waste, and empower individuals to take a more active role in garment care.

Meanwhile, Elvis & Kresse, pioneers in luxury leather salvage, will host Reworking Waste: The Elvis & Kresse Leather Workshop. This interactive session reveals the artistry behind transforming rescued leather offcuts into refined, functional pieces. Visitors will witness and take part in the cutting, shaping and crafting processes that give discarded materials new purpose.

The Handloom in Motion: Live Weaving Demonstration will offer a live weaving demonstration, from raw fibre through hand-spinning, loom set-up and cloth creation. There will also be a live demonstration of LaundRE’s groundbreaking denim reprocessing technology. Using advanced laser and ozone systems, LaundRE reveals how worn denim can be broken down, reconditioned and transformed into renewed material.
