Designers & Agents Adds Paris Show
Designers and Agents is taking its show on the road to Paris. The trade event producer, which stages editions in New York and Los Angeles, will launch its first show in Paris to run Oct. 1–4, 2010, during Paris Fashion Week.
The show will be held at Gallery Nikki Marquardt, located in the Marais quarter, and will feature a tight edit of 30 American brands.
“D&A Paris will offer a concisely curated presentation that represents our point of view from the best of today’s creative talent. Brands will be personally selected for this show by our screening committee and will represent every category of fashion,” said co-producer Barbara Kramer in a statement.
The show plans to continue with its Sustainable Initiative, highlighting brands whose eco practices qualify with D&A’s fair-trade and sustainable criteria. Each of D&A’s shows is edited, art-directed and merchandised in open loft-like spaces to provide an enjoyable work environment.
“We work hard to stage our shows and offer a cohesive and total experience. We have a valid and real contribution to make to the Paris scene,” said co-founder Ed Mandelbaum in a statement.—Rhea Cortado
