Going to market - fashionably

Organised by MZI Global Marketing, the event will feature top upcoming and established Korean fashion brands. Designers and manufacturers will introduce their collections, which combine European designer inspiration with the vibrancy of a vanguard edge. Presenting clothing of various categories and price ranges, 'Fashion Market Day' will be a unique opportunity for apparel and accessory buyers to view an eclectic merchandise mix, including day, evening and professional styles for men and women.

"Many of the top international fashion labels these days outsource their manufacturing, often sacrificing quality," said Milena Kovachevich, New York fashion consultant. "The Fashion Market Day's high-end designers have the unique distinction of creating their products in Korea, which is known for high-quality manufacturing as well as competitive pricing. These brands offer the ideal combination of cutting-edge fashion trends and consumer-friendly pricing that American retailers desire."

Tuesday's 'Fashion Market Day' presents a diverse cross section of international fashion leaders, making this a one-stop shop for any buyer seeking innovative trends for today's demanding markets. The event will showcase seven ready-to-wear labels: 'Brand', 'British Knights Korea', 'An Yoon Jung Ans', 'Color Field', 'Mee You International', 'Over Rolls', and 'Irreh Leather.' Each of the exhibitors focuses on creating a diverse selection of trendy and inspiring fashions to provide customers with innovative product launches all year round.

Brand highlights:

• The 'Brand' collection features fibers that are very easy to maintain for a fast-paced lifestyle and beautiful romantic vintage style with easy-to-wear fashions that fit the urban lifestyle of youthful Americans.
