TRADE SHOW
Moda 360 to Take a Bow at New Mart
Moda 360, a trade show for independent designers, will make its debut at The New Mart showroom building in downtown Los Angeles April 24–25, said Debora Pokallus, the founder and chief executive officer of the show.
Moda 360 made a debut run in New York last June. The show primarily served buyers from boutiques and specialty stores. Vendors included international designers with a unique fashion edge such as U.K. brands NCIIR by Tee Njoroge, Natacha Arranz, Lucy Tammam and Eva Cammarata. Also exhibiting was Sara Hegazy, a designer with a Dubai office, and Kinga Földi, whose Baharat label is headquartered in Hungary.
Moda 360’s New Mart show will feature a performance from the dance troupe Culture Shock Los Angeles and a runway show from Melissa Laskin, a veteran stylist. Pokallus also hopes to screen short films from emerging directors at her show. A statement from Moda 360 noted that it gives vendors “an editorial presentation” of their work. It also offers press and media interesting visuals for stories. For more information, visit www.moda360intl.com or email Pokallus at belesprit@ureach.com.
