So yesterday I went to my first Trade Fair for the fashion industry. I have to say I had an awesome time and I am so excited to be a part of this. I feel like I have found my niche.
I am so very excited about one particular label I managed to secure. They are based out of West Hollywood and have stockists all over the US but have only just brought their brand to Australia. I will be one of the first to stock them. They are funky and eclectic, fresh and fun. Not to mention absoulutely gorgeous. I had to buy pieces for my own kids while I was ordering for the shop! I have big plans for this label, I hope that it does as well as I am expecting.
On that note, the next thing I need to do is start building my website. Currently there is a dodgy site for my shop, but it needs MAJOR work and I also want to introduce online shopping. I have zero idea what I am doing here, so I have been researching companies based out of Melbourne that I can get to do all the work for me :D
I have a few other US brands that I am eager to stock and will start contacting them as soon as I take possesion of the shop.
Other exciting news to come out of the fair: Whilst I was talking to the girls about their brand they mentioned a big trade fair that is in New York and recommended that I try to make it there to see it. I mentioned this to hubby and he seemed to green light it! Will try to incorporate it in my trip to the US early next year.
So all in all, a successful first foray into this new career of mine. I am just so excited about it all.
Oh and in other news hubby bought himself a mini digger yesterday. No idea what for other than to say, boys and their toys!
