Holly New Opens Fashion SVP 2026 at Olympia London

This spring, STUDIOOFNEW founder Holly New took to the stage at Fashion SVP 2026, opening one of the UK's leading fashion sourcing and manufacturing events at Olympia London.

Fashion SVP brings together global manufacturers, suppliers and fashion professionals to explore the future of sourcing, production and innovation across the industry. With conversations increasingly focused on digital transformation, sustainability and emerging technologies, the event provided the perfect platform to discuss how new tools are reshaping the way fashion is designed and developed.

As the opening speaker, Holly shared insights from her work at STUDIOOFNEW, exploring the role of immersive technologies, virtual reality and digital workflows within the evolving fashion landscape. Her presentation highlighted how businesses can bridge the gap between creativity and technology, helping brands explore new ways of designing, collaborating and bringing ideas to life.

Speaking at Fashion SVP marks another exciting milestone for both Holly and STUDIOOFNEW. What began as an exploration into digital fashion and VR workflows has grown into a wider conversation around innovation, education and the future of creative industries. Opportunities like this demonstrate the increasing appetite within the fashion sector to understand how emerging technologies can support more efficient, collaborative and forward-thinking ways of working.

Beyond the presentation itself, the event offered valuable opportunities to connect with manufacturers, brands and industry leaders from across the globe. These conversations continue to reinforce the importance of collaboration as fashion navigates rapid technological change.

For Holly, speaking at Fashion SVP was not only an opportunity to share her own experiences, but also to contribute to a broader discussion about where fashion manufacturing, sourcing and product development are heading next.

As technology continues to transform the industry, events like Fashion SVP play an important role in bringing together the people driving that change and STUDIOOFNEW is proud to be part of the conversation.
