Welcome!

Welcome to the new ApparelNews.net blog.

It seemed like the best time to launch the blog, with Apparel News staffers off covering stories around the world. Fashion Editor N. Jayne Seward and Contributing Writer Jamie Sharpe are in New York covering New York Fashion Week. Associate Editor Rhea Cortado is in Paris covering the Mode City lingerie trade show. And Retail Editor Andrew Asch and Manufacturing Editor Erin Barajas just back from San Diego, Calif., where they were covering the Action Sports Retailer Trade Expo and the Agenda trade show.

We'll keep you posted on all these events in the coming days.

And if you want more from the New York runways, see Jayne's coverage on ApparelNews.net's fashion news page and don't forget to check out the looks fresh from the runway on our slideshow page.
