Las Vegas was the center of the fashion industry from February 13-16th, as the MAGIC Marketplace drew the top retailers, designers and manufacturers from around the globe. With more than 4,000 companies on display, the fashion industry's biggest business event featured the most extensive selection of resources across apparel, accessories, footwear, sourcing and contract manufacturing.
"MAGIC 2007 continues to be committed to providing the most comprehensive marketplace in the industry and that was on full display this week in Las Vegas,” said Laura McConnell executive vice president of fashion for Advanstar Communications.
"The MAGIC Marketplace offers an unparalleled selection of quality merchandise and resources creating one of the most powerful business environments in fashion. We strive to meet the changing needs of the fashion industry and the growth of our marketplace reflects that.”
The February marketplace featured some of the industry's hottest brands such as: Badgley Mischka Platinum, Calvin Klein, Cole Haan, Steve Madden, True Religion, All Black, Joseph Abboud, Skechers, Modern Amusement, Donald Pliner, Junk Food, SAFARI by Design, Bon Bebe, Kitson Footwear, Chinese Laundry, Crocs, Eileen Fisher, Bongo Jeans, Torino, Kara Janx, Artful Dodger and Stussy, to name a few.
"Skelanimals was extremely impressed with the attention we received at MAGIC,” said Cindy Bailey, CEO of Art Impressions, Inc. “We were overwhelmed with our success at the show, particularly with the number of buyers that attended. As a result, we have developed partnerships with retailers in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico, South America and Europe. Making a lifestyle statement at MAGIC was one of the best things we could have done for the brand and we look forward to returning to MAGIC for years to come."
