Trade event Sourcing at Magic will showcase more than 700 apparel and footwear manufacturers this year as it finds its feet as the major fashion sourcing event in North America.
It represents a 30% increase in size compared to the show in August 2009. The sourcing show starts on August 16, one day before the Magic Marketplace, and will this year celebrate India as the focus country with over 75 exhibitors.
Textile minister Dayanidhi Maran will be in attendance on August 16 for the official ribbon-cutting and inauguration ceremony at the India Pavillion. Other countries significantly expanding their presence at the August show are Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam and Mexico with more than 60 new exhibitors from these regions. Premier China is another new area with 30 large vertically integrated manufacturers from China.
“As the wealth of resources on the Magic show floor continues to grow, we are seeing equally exciting developments in sourcing,” said Mr Chris DeMoulin, Magic International president. “The Magic Marketplace is definitively the most efficient one-stop shopping resource in the world for the entire fashion industry.”
Fabric mills, trim and component suppliers, print design studios and fashion supply chain providers from over 40 countries will be at next month's event at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
