Licensing Expo, the world's largest and most influential event dedicated to licensing and brand extension, set to take place on June 13-15 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, reveals the first glance of its Showroom feature as part of its Fashion theme for 2023. 

The contemporary, interactive experience aims to immerse visitors into the world of fashion licensing with 16 showrooms spotlighting some of the most successful and creative fashion ranges across apparel, footwear and accessories. The space will include various displays ranging from high-end couture to high-street ranges.   

With the Fashion category generating $28.433m of the $315.5bn global licensing industry, and brand collaborations, nostalgia IP and luxury crossovers taking the market by storm, Licensing Expo aims to shine a light on this booming part of the market to inspire retailers and manufacturers on how to successfully leverage brands for their next fashion range.

“Fashion in licensing is prevalent now more than ever, from cultural nostalgia trends to celebrity partnerships and promotions, or luxury brand cross collaborations, there is not a space that licensing has not yet touched in fashion,” says Ella Haynes, Event Director of Licensing Expo. “We want to create awareness and exposure on how these types of partnerships come to life, as fashion is a critical part of representation of identity in daily life and IP is a part of that conversation.”

“We also want to create the premier marketplace for fashion brands, leaders and buyers to discover and connect with desirable IPs to create new business potential and energy in the retail of apparel.”

Kelly Helfman, President, Informa Markets Fashion commented: “There has been an increase over the past few seasons of brands showcasing licensed apparel. We have seen this at MAGIC Las Vegas, the leading wholesale fashion event for trend driven and young contemporary fashion. Licensing is a great opportunity for brands to diversify their product selections and combine brand power to reach the broader consumer market.”
