Sri Lanka Design Festival next month

Next month's Sri Lanka Design Festival (SLDF) has broadened its scope with the inclusion of several new elements, including design education and logistics fora, alongside its flagship South Asian Apparel Leadership Forum (SAALF).

SLDF, which takes place in Colombo from November 15-18, is an international platform for Sri Lanka's fashion, design and craft industries and the SAALF aims to bring together all stakeholders in the supply chain under an ethical umbrella - something which is at the core of Sri Lanka's apparel industry.

"SAALF is a bringing together of the entire value chain in a manner that competing interests are addressed through dialogue and a true collaborative mindset to deliver value to the consumer," said SLDF chairman Nikhil Hirdaramani.

Sri Lanka is positioning itself as a hub for regional supply chains.
