Debuting August 08-10 at the Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas, the first edition of Las Vegas Apparel was a huge success.
Hosted by International Market Centers, the show welcomed buyers from more than 30 states including California, Texas, Washington, Utah, Alabama and Florida in addition to Puerto Rico. International buyers visited from Colombia and Canada.
The Atlanta-based Get It GRL boutique’s mother-daughter team of Kim Askew and Jade Goins attended the show with Patrice Hull of C2bN. At the Vintage Addiction booth, designer Alesia Longenderfer sold her line of bags made from responsible sourcing such as recycled, upcycled and vintage materials for $15–$125 wholesale.
Las Vegas Apparel showcased collections from around 150 brands. The show allows retailers to spend quality time with the brands to fully explore new styles. In addition to brand presentations, buyers also can expect the trend education and trade show floor experience they enjoy at the Atlanta Apparel markets.
