Dallas Market Center previews June Apparel & Accessories Show

The June Dallas Apparel & Accessories Show will feature brands, merchandise and new collections in permanent showrooms and temporaries on June 27-30.

“June is the show for trending styles and fresh new collections,” said Cindy Morris, president and CEO of Dallas Market Center. “Our marketplace will be full of new looks to help independent retailers stand out and attract more business as consumers seek to express their sense of style.”

The show theme is “Soft Focus,” which emphasizes light fabrics, organic shapes, natural tones, vulnerability and fragility together with ethereal, dreamlike visuals creating a uniquely modern mythology, according to Dallas Market Center. Special displays, activations and events will call upon the theme to inspire retailers for the upcoming season.
