Mooring at the Show
First there were three piers at the biannual Fashion Coterie, held at the Piers on the Hudson. Now there are four. ENK International, which organizes the three-day trade show in New York taking place this season Sept. 20–22, announced it was adding Pier 88 to its lineup of Piers 90, 92 and 94. Elyse Kroll, executive director of ENK International, said there will be about 200 designers on the new pier, including Michael Stars, Rock & Republic, Missoni Sport and Morphine Generation. Typically, a pier holds about 300 designers. ENK, which organizes trade shows in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York, is also adding two new trade shows to its list of events: Blue, a premium-denim event, and Climate for activewear.
