Attire Accessories - Seo/Oct 2019 (Issue 78)

56 THE FASHION TRAIL Top Drawer September features the MR. section for the first time while also welcoming back established brands and showcasing new faces Having launched in 2015 in direct response to the industry’s needs and wants, Top Drawer’s Fashion sector has evolved into one of the UK’s largest presentations of design-led jewellery and accessories, making it a must-visit destination for discerning buyers seeking product to set their offering apart. The AW19 edition has a diverse offering of more than 120 brands, including Katie Loxton, Jessica Russell Flint, Don Fisher, Bill Skinner, Alex Monroe, Deborah Blyth, My Doris, Joma Jewellery, Rachel Jackson and Tilly Sveaas. The Fashion sector will offer something for every retail aesthetic this season. Following its successful launch at Top Drawer in January, MR., the destination for men’s fashion accessories, will join the show’s September edition for the first time alongside its complementary lifestyle product trail. The popularity of this show area echoes recent research from Mintel that indicates that the menswear market is set to outperform womenswear globally by 2022. Of the exciting addition, show director Alejandra Campos said, “At Top Drawer we pride ourselves on creating an ever-evolving platform for meaningful connections between visitors and exhibitors – a place where buyers can discover the most exciting and innovative lifestyle brands so that they can tailor a store offering entirely unique to their customers. The growing demand for male-focused products is undeniable; it was a thrill to see the sector be so well- received in January, and we look forward to presenting it in September.” Elsewhere within Fashion, Capsule provides a hand-picked selection of premium collections of conceptual, transeasonal and design-led products from across the globe, including Sibilia, Pyla, FL Private Collection and Kastur Jewells.
