Write: Stanhope [2011-05-20]

New Products - New Trends - New Exhibitors - all will be found at the next edition of FASHION ACCESS where the expected 6,000 buyers from over 60 countries & regions can focus on the up-coming fashion flavours for the Spring/Summer 2008 season.
Everyone in the fashion accessories sector from boutique to department store buyers will be there to source from the vast selection of bags, footwear, leather garments, travelware and leather goods of all description.
Over 500 exhibitors are already signed up - including over more than 50 who will be exhibiting for the first time at the exhibition. Altogether some 25 plus countries and regions will be represented.
And, to help buyers sift through the choices Fashion Access offers special features that have proved so popular in earlier Fashion Access. These include:
The Fashion Trends Lounge and Fashion Avenue - a foretaste of Summer 2008's "must haves" in shoes, bags and fashion products, chosen from the latest collections of Fashion Access exhibitors.
A highly topical new introduction will feature natural, eco-friendly products including a presentation from Cora Jacob from the Philippines, who launched a world-wide fashion business using local grasses as a key ingredient of her designs and then went on to found a movement ensuring local farmers benefited from their indigenous products.
There also will be an exclusive preview of the colour directions for Winter 08-09, with focus on materials and components.

Complimenting the trade show:
Best of APLF Awards - An icon for excellence in originality, creativity, and innovation in product design and production. (Look for stands displaying the award winners' icon in the fairground.)
