Costume designers Kairo Courts from TV series ‘Atlanta’ and Tiffany Hasbourne from ‘Baller’s’ will host a chat about using fashion to tell a story, create a character and set trends. Sourcing at Magic will take a look at how the Trump administration may impact various free trade agreements and international trade relationships. Experts will analyze these issues and the cause and effect between the supply chain and recent challenges in the global economy, such as the elimination of TPP, the continued rise of costs in China and trade issues between the US and China.

Industry experts will discuss how the next line of wearables are both functional but fashionable. Live demonstrations of the latest innovations will also be held during the event. An African Pavilion with over 11 countries will also be set up at the event.

Fabric trend galleries, featuring show floor exhibitors and trends for SS ‘18 by Fashion Snoops will be showcased at Sourcing at Magic.
