The latest trends in fashion will be displayed at 1,300 stalls by suppliers from Greater China and Asia as Global Sources’ (NASDAQ: GSOL) China Sourcing Fair opened yesterday at AsiaWorld-Expo near Hong Kong International Airport.
Tens of thousands of international buyers are expected to attend the four-day event where they can deal directly with private manufacturers, 90 percent of whom are exhibiting exclusively at the Fair.
Fashion accessories, garments & textiles, underwear & swimwear, as well as India Sourcing Fair: Garments & Accessories, will cap a busy October trade-show schedule for Global Sources, which also hosted electronics, mobile electronics and gifts & home products events this month.
Mr. Tommy Wong, President of Global Sources Exhibitions said “Buyers love sourcing of many product lines under one roof.” The show is offering more than just the latest merchandise: “We are once again staging fashion parades with professional models to spotlight products that truly capture the spirit of coming trends. Our complimentary conference programme is always highly attended, and we are also presenting show-floor demonstrations on how to accessorize with scarves and how to recognize different scarf fabrics.”
Among the many high-profile buyers pre-registered to attend the show are Bestseller Fashion Group, Carrefour, Folli Follie, Giorgio Armani, Landmark Group, Le Chateau, Li & Fung, Nitori, Ralph Lauren, Samsonite, Sears, Triumph, Target Sourcing, Tesco, Wiley Accessories and Woolworths.
Professional models will walk the runway to show off the hottest sportswear, fashion bags and jewelry from top exhibitors, who can meet face-to-face with high-volume buyers during the show. Companies such as Ariela, Auchan, Carrefour, Kering Global Sourcing, Linmark, LPP, Philips, Shop Direct, and Speedo — representing combined annual sales of more than US$327 billion — are planning to utilize this service.
Global Sources is a leading business-to-business media company and a primary facilitator of trade with Greater China.
