DownloadPress release 04.06.24: Fashion Week Trade expands: strong brands join and exhibition space doubles
Fashion Week Trade, Sweden’s fashion week for retail trade, will double the exhibition space at the fair on 12-16 August. There are currently 140 showrooms in Stockholm Fashion District and, together with exhibitors in the fair halls, around 700 brands within fashion, shoes and accessories will showcase their collections in August. An additional exhibition hall will be opened as well as a separate section dedicated to swimwear and underwear.
“For us, focus is on trade, inspiration, and networking. We are in the process of putting together a program that will be both inspiring and educational. It is clear that there is a great need for our business forum and that it is of importance for trade in Sweden. In addition to selling new collections, many brands use our platform to build a network within the industry and strengthen their brand, for example through shows and by organising their own events.”
“We are receiving a high number of registrations and there is great interest from both Swedish and international brands within fashion, shoes and accessories. It will be a huge benefit to all buyers and the entire industry to be able to gather everyone in one place, at Stockholm Fashion District. Stockholm is clearly an important meeting place today and we have a fully booked district this season.”
“Fashion Week Trade has experienced strong growth in recent seasons. The development and consolidation of Stockholm Fashion District is significant for the industry. We look forward to a fantastic week in August and an exciting autumn.”
