Las Vegas Apparel draws attendees from 44 states

ANDMORE’s Las Vegas Apparel market connected buyers and sellers as part of August 2023 Las Vegas Fashion Week offerings, with reports of heavy order writing, buyer and brand connections and solid traffic, Aug. 6-9 at the Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas.

“Las Vegas Apparel continues to earn high marks from exhibitors and attendees for its ease of sourcing, buyer amenities and hospitality and range of product offerings,” said Caron Stover, senior vice president of apparel at ANDMORE. “ANDMORE has curated a sourcing event that not only is inviting, but also provides space to create meaningful connections and order-writing with brands our buyers know they can find here.”

Attendees visited the show from 44 states and Puerto Rico, as well as six international countries, with western, midwest and southwest-based buyers making up 74% of total market attendees.

The market showcased more than 100 lines across apparel, accessories, gift and lifestyle items and more in a curated environment over four days.

Returning buyer, Jennifer Markwell, owner of Kopers Boutique in Morehead, Kentucky, attended the show for two days.

“This was our second time sourcing at Las Vegas Apparel and it has been wonderful,” Markwell said. “We came on Sunday to see everything and came back Tuesday to make sure we had everything we wanted and write all of our orders. The show is super easy to shop, very organized and not intimidating; we really feel like we belong and we can’t wait to come back in February.”

Added Joe Song, owner of young contemporary brand GLAM: “We had a record-breaking first day here at Las Vegas Apparel. We always have great shows here because of the high quality buyers we connect with and the size of the orders they place. We’re looking forward to showing again in February.”

Beginning in February 2024, Las Vegas Apparel and Womenswear in Nevada (WWIN), will co-locate at The Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas.
