The leading apparel sourcing event in Southern US and Latin America will be featuring 300 international apparel and textile exhibits and is expected to attract 4,000 visitors over three days. The show provides an unprecedented platform for Miami’s designers to meet the manufacturing sector, for investors to discover brands, and for apparel producers to find retail opportunities — reinforcing Miami as the fashion capital it has become, according to a press release on the show.

Making a debut on the runway will also be innovative designs by some of Miami’s top rising young fashion stars.

Some of the industry’s top experts and influencers, both local and national, will speak about the latest fashion industry trends, the challenges today’s designers face, and the evolving shopping preferences of today’s consumers. Presenters will provide unique insight into topics such as new digital shopping channels, emerging technologies that change the way consumers interact with brands, ecommerce, experiential retail, changing consumer attitudes regarding environmental consciousness and corporate responsibility, the critical role of social media in the world of fashion, and how to create a Made in the USA fashion line in 2019.
