Fashion Group International has a long history of offering business-to-business data to its members, dating back to the 30s, when the industry deal was founded. Tomorrow, he will return to his roots with Communiqué, a daily summary with images and synopsis. of some of the shows, trends and news of New York Fashion Week.
The organization needs to be the eyes and ears of the fashion industry for its global members. That’s more than ever this season, the first since last year, when the Covid-19 pandemic began, with a return to live occasion in New York City. .
The Fashion Group knows that stores and shoppers may struggle to reach the surrounding domains when the Delta variant makes its appearance. Among the 91 designers featured next week will be Gabriela Hearst, Proenza Schouler, LaQuan Smith, Rodarte, Michael Kors, three ASFOUR, Rosetta Getty and Tom Ford.
“FGI has a history that goes back to the ’30s, when we provided business-to-business information,” said Maryann Grisz, president and CEO of the pro organization. “We have in our archives minutes of board meetings from 1936 onwards. Members were talking about [providing] that kind of information.
Grisz said that over the years, FGI has produced written reports and videos on the presentation of the collections, and that Marylou Luther, a member of the legacy, has been writing trend reports for many years.
“During the pandemic, there’s been so much creativity,” Grisz said. We believe it is vital to recognize what is going on in fashion in a timely manner. We will have highlights, influences, color stories and new designers. we will attend some of the exhibits and look for photographs of all the events.
Sharon Graubard, founder and artistic director of Mint Moda and Nicole Fischelis, fashion and art forecaster and FGI board member, established industry experts, will host the report, capturing the influences, directional and meaningful style, color and discovery of new skills presented at New York Fashion Week Collections.
Hairdressing expert Frédéric Fekkai will report from the trenches and talk about trends for autumn from his perspective, while Gary Wassner, CEO of Hildun Corp. , will report on the new skill and profile of a designer every day, as someone to watch.

“As IGF, we want to have some presence during Fashion Week,” Fischelis said. “I think it was a smart concept to do a daily summary, just to communicate key concepts, key looks and key silhouettes, whether it’s designer or a trend that we guide through other creators.
“We will have news about fashion,” Fischelis added. Gary’s company is a factoring company, and it is a family circle business. She has been attending fashion shows for years and is helping many businesses. It will be very attractive to them. “
Several New York-based designers who recently exhibited in Europe will be presenting collections in New York this season, Fischelis said, and mentioned Thom Browne and Jeremy Scott for Moschino, who are returning to lend their products to American fashion.
“Buyers want to be aware of trends. They want to reevaluate,” Fischelis said, referring to adjustments brought about by the pandemic that is forcing consumers to dress more casually. “Designers create a new environment and enthusiasm. The integration of art and fashion is an upward trend. We saw it emerge very strongly because there were so many static presentations. “
“In today’s world, there are no singular hair trends consistent with her,” Fekkai told me. “There are many tactics that other people can celebrate their unique hair type in a way that reflects its consistency with soncionalidad, taste and culture. To be part of the IGF Communiqué and to be excited to be consistent with my observations about what we are experiencing with our clients with IGF members.
“I’m going to pick a new designer each and every day of fashion week that I think has wonderful potential,” Wassner said. “In a hundred words or less, I’m going to yell at them, describe what they’re doing.
“IGF is a global organization,” Wassner added. Many of its members do not have access to the tracks. Information is king in those days, so we hope to provide data and observations on seasonal trends, drawn from participation in all exhibits during NYFW. a very different meaning for the logo you’ve seen, compared to watching a live stream or reading a preview of a lookbook.

I have been a journalist for 30 years, as editor-in-chief of W magazine, and for the more than 17 years, covering retail and genuine real estate as editor-in-chief at WWD. I write about luxury boutiques, independent stores, branch stores, massive chains and digital native brands, and the force that redefines the way we shop: Amazon. I announced news and interviewed the CEOs of major stores and trusts of genuine real estate investment, and I went under the surface to notice and analyze the complexities of doing business in the era of COVID-19. After months of quarantine, consumers’ buying behavior has changed; they are more dependent on Amazon than ever before. Retailers will want to harness all of their organizations’ creativity to survive, while also addressing key issues like sustainability, diversity, and inclusion.
