As Daniel plus Lauren’s Daniel Quintanilla and colleague, Patricia Ann Parenti, were walking the Javits Center in late February, they witnessed Coterie & Magic seeing more foot traffic and participating vendors than ever before!!!!
Coterie saw more than 150 new brands being exhibited, with a total of 700 exhibiting companies on the showroom floor.
Magic saw more than 60 new brands exhibited at this show, a 36 percent increase from last September, with 300 brands on the showroom floor.
Retailer Attenance has also gone through an upswing at both Coterie & Magic, large store registration which includes chain stores and department stores has increased at the Javits Center, there’s also an upswing in international retailers, spanning over 80 countries who registered at last month’s 3 day premiere fashion trade show where retailers, exhibitors, and press unite as one.
As Coterie & Magic returned for its second live in-person event since COVID19 restrictions were first lifted last Summer, changes and adaptions made by trade show parent company, Informa, are clearly paying off, Kelly Hoffman, President of Informa Markets Fashion, says this February edition of Coterie & Magic are “much welcomed by the fashion community.
Our events serve the entirety of the fashion ecosystem, providing an all-encompassing platform from big box and department stores to boutique retailers to discover the latest products and new lines that will excite their customers.
We’ve continued to learn and adapt with what our industry needs in order to create an event that centers around our community.
We’re all about discovery, connection, and spotlighting the latest trends, so that brands, both established and emergent, have a voice to promote their product, and retailers are able to ink deals with the hottest new brands across multiple women’s categories spanning from advanced contemporary to trend.”
