Show season

Show season is upon us, and as ever we’re turning our focus to some exciting developments in the industry, starting with a spotlight on the highly anticipated Pure x Moda event.

This collaboration promises to deliver a unique platform for buyers and brands alike, with an expanded showcase of fashion and accessories that blends the best of both worlds.

In this edition, we also delve into the world of childrenswear. As this sector continues to grow and evolve, we’re shining a light on some key pieces.

For those seeking the perfect finishing touch, our eyewear feature offers a curated look at the latest designs combining style and functionality. And with travel continuing to bounce back, we’re also exploring the ever-popular category of travel accessories.

With menswear gaining increased attention for its innovation and style, we also explore some must-have accessories defining this market.

This issue isn’t just about products and trends—it’s about celebrating the creativity, resilience, and innovation that make the accessories sector so vibrant. As always, we hope to be your trusted resource and partner in navigating the year ahead.

Enjoy the issue!

Social shopping in fashion, says John Lewis report
 
Retro trends, preppy and Brat Girl fashions and travel returning to pre-covid levels were among the biggest influences on our shopping habits.

That's according to John Lewis's annual trend report How We Shop, Live and Look, which looks at the products and trends that defined the past year.

'Social shopping' is definitely in fashion. One in five (19 percent) of the 1,996 customers surveyed said they have shopped more with friends and family this year, and nearly seven in 10 (68 percent) of them said they like to combine it with other activities like eating out. This tallies with John Lewis data, which shows that more than three quarters of a million more customers ate in its Place to Eat restaurants over the past year.
