Fashion Shows
If you're a serious boutique and want to grow you will need to attend a fashion show to establish vendor relations and meet other energetic boutique owners. Let's explore every major show that occurs around the USA and what benefits they can provide you.
Master List of Fashion Events
What is a fashion trade show?
A wholesale fashion show/event is a large convention where buyers and vendors come together to engage in business.
Not only can you purchase wholesale clothing at fashion shows but you can also:
- Get a first look at clothing trends not yet in production.
- Formulate relationships with manufacturers and clothing vendors.
- Attending informative speeches and seminars by successful entrepreneurs who share helpful tips.
Fashion events are multiple times a year at locations all around the country. The largest events held include Magic by UBM, The Off-Price Show, Dallas Market Show and the Atlanta Fashion Show.
Below is a list of details and links on the largest wholesale shows of the year:

WWIN is the latest show to be added to the market circuit. It's making a lot of waves as more vendors are ditching Magic for WWIN. I believe this is because the booth price is a lot less expensive. You can discover the latest products in a comfortable setting and also an exciting one in the heart of Las Vegas. Womenswear in Nevada, also known as the WWIN Show, is a Wholesale Women's Apparel show floor filled with top brands and up and coming innovators featuring more than 1,500+ lines from 400+ exhibitors.

In Las Vegas these brands are able to make a big impression on key influencers. Agenda Las Vegas is an ideal platform to expand brand presence beyond traditional sales efforts and explore messaging and experiential strategies, maximizing their brand storytelling efforts.
