Arizona Tribune - MAGIC, PROJECT and SOURCING at MAGIC Embrace Emerging Trends, Strengthening Las Vegas Fashion Community

"Las Vegas continues to be the destination for the fashion community to collaborate and spark innovation," says Jordan Rudow, Vice President, MAGIC. "This season we diversified our offerings through a robust line-up of international exhibitors and the introduction of new brands which made up more than 22% of the show."

The latest trends, particularly in skate and golf culture, were on display, bringing together an impressive roster of top brands, retailers and influencers. Over 120 of the leading skate shops were in attendance and featured appearances from legendary pros such as Bryan Herman, Frank Gerwer, Kenny Reed, Jim Thiebaud, Bod Boyle, John Dilo  and many more.
