When Easts meets West – a fusion of colour
24-05-2005
The main concept behind Asia Fashion Week (AFW) is linking Asian fashion with the Global Marketplace.
This year AFW will be launching a unique three-in-one clothing and fashion event to ensure that this happens. The three events are:
- BUZZ
ASIA – this event focuses on the business side of the fashion industry and consists of a series of seminars and forums that will scrutinize current issues facing designers and industry figures alike.
- LABELS
ASIA – as the name suggests this exhibition showcases labels-only fashion featuring the latest Spring/Summer collections from both international and Asian designers. This event will be a not-to-be-missed business opportunity for buyers, manufacturers, wholesalers, importers and media.
- NEXT
ASIA – this is the big event of AFW 2005. This unique event will take the format of exciting fashion shows and contests where an international panel of fashion experts will handpick the new generation of Asian designers to showcase their new and original creations at NEXTAsia .
As you can see AFW has an event for everyone, whether you are a designer, buyer or merchandiser and provides a platform for over 200 designers and branded labels alike to network with international buyers and global brands.
The event will be held on the 8th – 10th November in Singapore Expo Hall 2B, and doors open at 10am. For more information on the AFW visit www.asia-fashion-week.com.
