"There some great new lines throughout the building and at our FOCUS and TRANSIT shows, and we expect that the buyers who attend the Market, will have an enjoyable and successful trip," comments Joanne Lee, SVP of the California Market Center.

The California Market Center accommodated the retailers to upmost extent.  Retailers provided with appetizing lunch along with an informative seminar presented by California Fashion Association and Focal Technology, "How to Use Online Media to Create Additional Business for Your Store.”  Later in the evening, retailers attended cocktail reception and fashion show hosted by Fashion Business Inc.  The Buyers Lounge provided a daily complimentary breakfast and a place to recharge those shopping eyes.  In addition, the buyers partook in coffee service, wine, and delectable pastries.  Oliver Ifergan Atelier offered dry-cuts, styling and hair consultations to retailers.  This presentation provided a wonderful experience for all.
 
The Experience…

As one walks the showroom floors an eye-candy of fashion filled each and every step.  The women’s apparel outweighed any other category by far.  Brighte represented the footwear category anywhere from aiding foot comfort at Foot Petals to stylish shoes at Pour La Victoire.
