A couple of weeks ago I went to Moda trade show to get an insight on how brands present themselves to buyers and also see what different companies are out there.
It was interesting to see the labels on the garments and how much they sold them to wholesales for and whether it was for the one garment or a pack. If they had different colours and fabrics these were also shown on the labels with fabric swatches or just the colour swatches.
I managed to pick up a few leflets whilst there and a look book. Although it was interesting to look around the different brands, i found i enjoyed the fashion shows more and got more out of them. Seeing the outfit down the runway being shown with the company's collections gave more of an insight into trends and the brand. You wasn't able to take pictures at all in the NEC but I took notes throughout the day on the catwalk and the garments I liked on the stands. So I plan to search for the professional pictures when the exhibition is finished so I can put them with my notes.
I did take a few photos whilst walking around, before i seen the signs for no photos!
