The event will unite thousands of young contemporary, trend and modern sportswear apparel, footwear, and accessory brands with retail buyers from across the country, creating a dynamic marketplace for discovery and business development.

ELEVATED BUYER EXPERIENCES

MAGIC New York continues to draw a powerful roster of retail decision-makers, with an impressive lineup of registered buyers for the upcoming edition. Major national retailers including Bloomingdale's, Macy's and Footlocker will be present alongside fashion-forward brands like Shopbop, Hemline, Rent the Runway, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters. This diverse mix of retail participants represents significant buying power across multiple consumer segments, from contemporary fashion to trend and lifestyle categories.

The strong retailer presence underscores MAGIC New York's essential role as a connection point between brands and key accounts, offering exhibitors direct access to buyers who shape the retail landscape across the globe.

Complementing this focus on meaningful business relationships, the Brand Curation area will serve as a specialized matchmaking hub where buyers with specific product requirements are strategically paired with relevant exhibitors, further enhancing the show's ability to facilitate targeted business opportunities.

These connections formed at MAGIC don't just drive business today-they actively shape the direction of fashion retail for seasons to come."
