Over a century of combined experience heralds the next 100 years of fashion...
It takes a lot of talent and experience to produce the longest-running and largest accessories-only show in the United States. The people of AccessoriesTheShow skillfully attend to every aspect of the industry's most upscale, EDITED show: Merchandising, visual design, trend forecasting, journalism, licensing, retailing, operations, marketing, public relations, executive sales, design/product development, publishing, customer service. This depth of talent is unusual in the trade-show arena, where the standard practice often calls for interns and temporary personnel.
