Vegas Fashion Week

Vegas was the center for Fashion this past week.  People came from all over the World to partake in the conventions.  The festivities took place Aug.16-21st. 
     As a buyer...what convention do I attend?? Where can I find the best items for my store?  Shows like Off Price, Accessories the Show, and Magic are all happening simultaneously.  How do I know where I fit? 
      We sat down with Todd Fabos (marketing/publishing manager) and Stephen Kroqulski (CEO) from Off Price, to get an insiders account of what it's all about. 
       Off Price started in 1994, then located @ Debbie Reynolds.  They have since made their home the Sans Expo@ The Palazzo/ Venetian. The  OffPrice show offers clothing, footwear, and accessories. 
      OffPrice offers fashions 70% below wholesale prices, setting them apart from other conventions due to their great prices, as well as quality.  Items are stocked and ready to be shipped immediately.  A favorite feature for us is their cash & carry section.  Accessories we purchased and took off the showroom floor immediately. 
      There is A lot to see during the 4 day convention, OffPrice offers buyers tours the 1st 3 days of the show helping maximize time spent on showroom floor.
      Overall, OffPrice is a "Must-attend"convention for retailers looking to stock their store w/great finds.  Follow OffPrice and stay connected.
