The Ndau
Collection have had the great honour of being selected as Emerging
Accessories Designers and as such have been invited to showcase at prestigious
trade and industry show MAGIC, held
in Las Vegas from 19th to 21st of February 2013. This showcase will mark the
official launch of The Ndau Collection
brand in The United States, reaching buyers from all over the world over the
three days of MAGIC.
In
their own words, MAGIC is where the international community of apparel,
accessories and footwear professionals trades information, previews trends,
builds business and shops fashion unlike anywhere else in the industry. Each
February and August, tens of thousands of attendees from over 80 countries meet
more than 5,000 emerging-to-established brands to spark the strategic
connections that become the relationships of tomorrow. Capitalizing on 78 years
of experience, the show continues to evolve. Claiming 40% growth since 2009,
MAGIC unites the largest and most influential network of buyers, brands, media
and decision makers. With an average of nearly $200 million in per-day order
volume and 67% of the top NPD buying teams in attendance, more business is done
at MAGIC than any other fashion retail trade event.
The
last 12 months have seen a huge growth in the Ndau Collection brand,
culminating in this industry recognition of the fact that Ndau is capable of
being a worldwide brand, whilst still being strongly rooted on the African
continent. The Ndau team is in full production mode, creating new collections
for the showcase, following on from their success in accessorising the
beautiful South African songstress Zahara at the Victoria Falls Carnival over
the New Year's festivities. The new collections will feature their signature eclectic
mix of lost wax cast sterling silver, antique African trade beads with exotic
skins and materials. The Ndau Collection will be represented by Christie
Brookstein, one of the four member design team, who will meet with prospective
buyers throughout the duration of MAGIC, followed by a private trunkshow in Los
Angeles for Ndau Collection clients. Any interested buyers or clients are
welcome to contact The Ndau Collection team via email to book appointments at
MAGIC or to request to attend the trunkshow.
