So for many 2023 looks set to be a tough year. Independents will undoubtedly need to be at their creative best use their ability to quickly adapt to meet the challenges ahead. We know though just how resilient this industry is. New independent bricks and mortar stores are springing up taking advantage of empty units and circular fashion is being adopted in a variety of forms by both brands and retailers.
So what better time to discuss ‘the business of KIDS Fashion’ during this AW/FW trade show selling season.
Pirouette Panel:
The business of KIDS’ Fashion
Filmed Event Panel addressing a number of pressing questions for the kids’ fashion industry with invited guests with leading professionals ready to discuss some of the key questions facing the industry. With the aim to provide valuable information and opinion for both attendees at the show and those following online.
Pirouette Pitches:
30 seconds to share?
Brands pitch their collection/ label direct to camera uninterrupted for 30 secs. Pitches will then be shared by Pitti & Pirouette during the show through social media stories or edited together for Reels. A great way to promote your new collection or products to buyers & press!
