Designers & Agents (D&A).
Founded by Barbara Kramer and Ed Mandelbaum almost ten years ago,
D&A showcases over 800 of the newest and brightest
ready-to-wear and accessory designers. Acclaimed for their keen
talent-spotting, inventive staging, and atmospheric,
fashion-forward presentation, D&A shows are presented at each
of the five US markets in both New York and Los Angeles, and
twice a year in Tokyo, Japan.
London Fashion Week and D&A. The D&A showcase at
The Exhibition at London Fashion Week represent a growth
opportunity for both Designers & Agents and London Fashion
Week. For the second year in a row, the primarily-American
designers featured in the D&A showcase will have the chance
to present their collections to British and international buyers
and press from within the London Fashion Week marketplace.
Likewise, the addition of these collections will expand the
breadth of offering at The Exhibition at London Fashion Week,
introducing new talent to the event and its visitors, and
ultimately reinforcing London Fashion Week’s worldwide stature.
The D&A shows in New York and Los Angeles feature many of the
premier contemporary collections; D&A brands are sold at the
best stores throughout the USA, such as Barneys, Fred Segal,
Calypso, Neiman Marcus, Saks, Kitson and Scoop, as well as
numerous independent, ahead-of-the-curve boutiques. Often
featured in the press, the media presence of these brands is
likely to drive sales in U.K. and European stores. Moreover, U.S.
price points are very competitive, especially at the current rate
of Dollar exchange, and labels based in the United States have a
fantastic track record on deliveries, making this an
exceptionally attractive market for worldwide buyers to
enter.
