The Fashion Movement: HAUTE Gets a Makeover 

 

Quietly and without much fanfare and hoopla HAUTE the accessory show, the platform exclusively for accessory designers has been re-branded to become HAUTE Accessories Week. The event which has experiences tremendous growth and success since its inception two years ago will again be held at Hunter’s Green Country Club in Tampa Florida. September 6^th is the date slated for the main runway presentation; an accessory designing workshop and a boutique shopping event will be incorporated in the 2013 program.

For the past two seasons HAUTE has grown exponentially to become THE PLATFORM FOR ACCESSORY DESIGNERS who desire to show and market their brands in a retail setting. When the event was conceptualized a few years ago the ultimate goal was to make it a week geared exclusively to the accessory designer and the accessories market, focusing on the retail segment. We strongly believe 2013 is the year to do that.

Following up on the success of past presentations, The Fashion Movement will bring another stronger array of designers to the 2013 edition of HAUTE Accessories Week. Prior to the main runway event a workshop teaching how to make various accessories will be held; this will be open to the public for registration. A boutique shopping event where accessory Designers products are available to shoppers is also planned.

Interested Designers please email haute@thefashionmovement.com

We look forward to seeing you at HAUTE Accessories Week 2013.
