New York Fur Market Time shaping up
EFFORTS TO REVIVE JUNE MARKET WEEK IN NEW YORK appear to be bearing fruit, judging from manufacturers participating and retailer reaction. Spearheaded by the Fur New York organization, the event is scheduled for the week of June 21, when a number of leading manufacturers say they will be ready to introduce their new collections.
For many years, Fur Market Time in the Big Apple was a two- or three-week affair, featuring formal runway shows in manufacturers’ showrooms or in top hotels. However, buying patterns have changed in recent years, with retailers tending to buy closer to the selling season. In addition, many retailers now travel to Hong Kong, Milan or Montreal for those fairs, but still visit New York later on for certain fashions and stock fill-ins.
Considering that many retailers will be coming to New York between now and October, FNY is trying to re-package Market Time as an event that will again make the market more viable.
