Ten country pavilions in FA have been confirmed to-date. These include representations from Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Pakistan, Taiwan and Thailand.
Mdm. Ardouin explained that the show serves two different types of exhibitors and buyers: “We have the traditional Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) / Original Design Manufacturers (ODM) exhibiting mostly in the main hall, who are looking for volume buyers while exhibitors in Fashion Avenue mostly carry their own brands and are looking for boutique and department store buyers or franchisees.”
For March 2012, the goal is to increase the number of brands exhibiting in Fashion Avenue in a bid to attract the “lower-quantity, higher-price” buyers from more exclusive, high-quality fashion retail stores. Japanese buyers are a particularly important target market for this sector.
FA March 2012 will focus on collections suited for the Fall-Winter 2012-2013 season. The Fashion Trends Space is set up to guide buyers on the colour and style directions primarily for bags, footwear and fashion accessories.
Prime Source Forum has grown dramatically in importance since its inception in 2006 when the major challenge facing the apparel industry was the end of WTO quotas. The March 2012 round of workshops and forum sessions promise interesting discussions on a host of challenges and opportunities facing the apparel and footwear industries.
