Boutiques, Activewear Retailers, CMC, Shape Tradeshow March 2015

The Fall 15 Los Angeles Fashion Market took place at the California Market Center (CMC) from March 16-19. CMC Showrooms and exhibitors from SELECT Better Women's and Contemporary Tradeshow, TRANSIT LA Shoe Show, and SHAPE Athleisure and Lifestyle Tradeshow reported new accounts opened, as well as steady traffic from buyers and companies placing orders for immediates.

"This was the best I have ever done at SELECT," says Leslie Francesca, owner of Northern California based jewelry company. The line features handmade druzy gemstone pieces and has become a quick SELECT favorite among retailers and resorts across the country. "I wrote more orders in the first two hours on day one than last market and saw many out-of-towners including a great boutique in Nebraska and a large resort in St. John."

The debut of SHAPE Athleisure and Lifestyle Tradeshow was also a success. While many exhibitors were busy writing orders, others were gaining exposure and creating relationships with gym owners, athleisure magazines, and lifestyle boutiques.

"We had a really great first show," says Megan of SQN Sport, a luxury active wear brand from Idaho. "We opened 10 new accounts and are excited to return to the next show in June."

What is size XO fashion ? OK, it is possible you have never heard of size XO.  It is also possible that size XO does not exist or never has existed.  Well, the fact of the matter is that I am fairly sure size XO does exist.  I was on facebook last night and on the Fashion Bug page someone was asking why Fashion Bug charged more for size XO then they did for size XL.  The lady writting the post mentioned she measured them and they appeared to be the same.  Anyway, I tried to research the size and did not find much at all.  It is my understanding (possibly and incorrect understanding) that size XO clothing was created for larger size women in the same manner that size zero was created for smaller size women.  It is very possibly simply a "vanity" size.
