Leota, Marc Jacobs and Canada Goose; menswear by

Usually Southern California retailers in Orange County
and San Diego drive long distances to check out the new
styles at the various showrooms located in the Los Angeles Fashion District in downtown Los Angeles.
But for a change, Los Angeles showrooms were hitting
the highway to drive down to Orange County to show their
latest collections to retailers.
Several showrooms and sales reps recently participated
in the second edition of OC Mix, a small and casual trade
show that feels more like an afternoon get-together of
friends than a buy-and-sell event.
The show is organized by Z Supply, an apparel company
with several labels that range from Black Swan and Oth-

CurveNV Moving to Mandalay Bay, Colocating With Project Womens
CurvExpo, the lingerie and swimwear
trade show, is on the move in Las Vegas.
In August, CurveNV will move to the
Mandalay Bay Convention Center, where
it will co-locate with UBM’s Project Womens trade show during the shows’ Aug.
15–17 runs.
Previously located at the Las Vegas Convention Center, CurveNV will now show
alongside the contemporary ready-to-wear
brands at Project Womens.
The new location at Mandalay Bay will
create a one-stop shopping venue for retailers looking to add swim and lingerie to their
contemporary merchandise mix, CurveNV
organizers said. For CurveNV’s exhibitors,
the new location will allow them to discover
new retailers and new trends and develop
crossover product categories.
“This is excellent news for our exhibitors and visitors, who will be immersed in
one of the best— if not the best—of the trade
shows happening during Las Vegas’ fashion
week, showcasing only the best contemporary brands and creating incredible business
opportunities,” said Pierre-Nicolas Hurstel,
chief executive officer of CurvExpo’s parent
company, Eurovet Americas. “This was the
logical evolution in our collaboration with
UBM and MAGIC, and I am thrilled that we
made it happen.”
French trade-show producer Eurovet is
the parent company of CurvExpo, which
produces the CurveNV show in Las Vegas
and the CurveNY show in New York. In
2015, Eurovet struck a joint-venture deal
with MAGIC and Project producer UBM
(then called Advanstar) to move CurveNV
from its original home at The Venetian to a
separate space at the Las Vegas Convention
Center next to WWDMAGIC. In February,
CurveNV moved to a new space within the
WWDMAGIC show floor, where exhibitors included lingerie brands Felina from
California, Leonisa from Colombia and Tri-
umph from Germany as well as swimwear
companies such as Miami-based InGear
Fashions Inc. Exhibitors praised the seamless flow of traffic between CurveNV and
WWDMAGIC, but CurveNV’s placement
next to childrenswear exhibitors and accessories vendors was less than ideal.
“This is really the best possible location CurveNV could dream of in Vegas,”
said Chris DeMoulin, managing director of
fashion for UBM. “We are very happy to
go a step further into bringing the lingerie
and swimwear categories together and keep
developing business synergies between our
shows.” —Alison A. Nieder
New CEO Appointed at NYDJ Apparel
Los Angeles blue-jeans company NYDJ
Apparel, formerly known as Not Your
Daughter’s Jeans, has appointed Lisa Collier to take over the top job at the company.
Collier succeeds Robert Skinner, the former CEO, president and chairman at Kellwood Co., who two years ago was named
NYDJ’s president and CEO. Skinner’s appointment came as Crestview Partners in
New York and Maybrook Capital Partners in Los Angeles completed their $385
million acquisition of the apparel company
from Falconhead Capital and the RudesSandel family. In 2013, NYDJ had annual
revenues of approximately $200 million a
year.
Collier has a long history of working
in the apparel industry. She most recently
served as president of global at Dockers and
chief transformation officer at Levi Strauss
& Co., where she led the San Francisco–
based company’s operational and strategic
transformation across all brands, regions and
channels. She also managed Dockers’ strategic vision as a member of the company’s
executive leadership team.
Prior to Levi’s, she worked for Los Angeles–based Tarrant Apparel, where she was
vice president of product development, planning and sourcing. Before Tarrant Apparel,
she spent more than a decade in buying and
merchandising at The Limited. She began
her career in fashion and retail as a trainee at
Hess’s Department Stores after graduating
from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
“Lisa has a rich knowledge of denim and
retail as well as a track record of successfully
transforming organizations for growth,” said
Mackey McDonald, chairman of the NYDJ
board of directors and senior adviser to
the hangers you were looking for...
Crestview Partners, NYDJ’s majority owner.
“Moreover, Lisa has a unique blend of operational expertise coupled with strategic
vision and palpable creative energy. We feel
confident that her leadership and passion for
building brands will help take NYDJ to new
heights.” NYDJ was founded in 2003 by Lisa
Rudes-Sandel and her father, George Rudes.
Lisa got the idea for NYDJ after shopping
Barbara Fields Reopening Buying Office
In late May, retail forecaster Barbara
Fields unexpectedly announced her retirement after 35 years in business with an email
sent to clients, friends and colleagues.
The news came as a surprise, and Fields
was flooded with phone calls and emails.
“All the clients were calling and saying,
‘No, Barbara, you can’t do this,’” Fields
said. “They did not want me to leave.”
Fields shuttered her 12th-floor office in
the California Market Center on June 1,
and on June 14 she announced she is reopening the Barbara Fields Buying Office. She
will also reopen her London office and resume her trend-scouting trips to New York
and Europe. She plans to continue to host
her biannual trend-forecasting seminars—
known for Fields’ prediction of must-haves
or “Million Dollar Items”—held during the
Los Angeles Majors Market.
The trend forecaster has a few other
changes in mind. Instead of creating a hardcopy trend book for her clients, she will distribute the information digitally.
The office phone number, (213) 6276474, and website (www.barbarafieldsnyla.
com) remain the same.
“I’ve never realized how appreciated I’ve
been with my clients,” Fields said.
“As a conclusion I decided I’m going to
move back with the clients I worked with before. They didn’t want me to leave. So here I
am again. It was a short retirement.”

ers Follow to White Crow and Rag Poets.
To keep costs down, the show is housed in Z
Supply’s 1,500-square-foot showroom in its
industrial-park headquarters in Irvine, Calif.,
where the space has floor-to-ceiling windows
that overlook a long patio furnished with picnic tables.
The first show took place April 18–19.
The second show was held June 13–14, and
a third show is being considered for September. “I decided that Orange County needed
some kind of contemporary show down here
that would make it easier for retailers and for
reps who can knock out 20 to 30 accounts
in a couple of days,” said Greg Garrett, a Z
Supply cofounder. “For the retailers, going
to Los Angeles, with the traffic and cost,
adds up.”
With only 1,500 square feet at the venue, vendor space was limited. At the recent
Knot Sisters, the show helped whittle down
her daily commute. She lives only 10 minutes
away in Huntington Beach, Calif.
“My boss said there were a few accounts
we didn’t see during Los Angeles Fashion
Market because it was hard for the retailers
to drive up to Los Angeles,” she said. “For a
lot of specialty-store accounts, it is hard for
them to drive up to Los Angeles.”
This was the second show for Level 99,
a hip twill-and-denim-based brand started
by textile manufacturer Twin Dragon Marketing in Gardena, Calif. Sandy Ramirez,
the West Coast sales rep who works out of a
showroom in The New Mart, said she was
trying to branch out and find new customers.
On the first day, she picked up two new
accounts—with West of Camden, which
has stores in Corona del Mar, Calif., and
Huntington Beach, and with Costa Cabana
in Costa Mesa, Calif.

shows will share the same show floor at the
Javits Center during the two shows’ July

In addition to sharing space, the two
shows will share registration and amenities
including refreshments and VIP car service
as well as cross-show promotions.

The two shows will continue to operate
separate sales and marketing teams but will
work “closely together to align programs
and benefits for exhibitors, media and retailers. Looking beyond July, the teams are
working to fully integrate all aspects of both
shows,” the company announced.
In addition to Project, UBM operates

Under Armour Launches Mobile UA Shop
Under Armour launched its first mobile
app created to mix shopping with its Under Armour Connected Fitness platform,
which includes several applications: UA
Record, MapMyFitness, Endomondo and
MyFitnessPal.
The UA Shop integrates data from Under
Armour’s digital fitness community, allowing users to personalize their visit to the UA
Shop based on athletic inspiration, workout
history and previous purchases.
Connect Fitness has gathered health and
fitness information from more than 170 million members worldwide.
“This app was created to maximize our
digital platform and complement our existing
in-store experiences by bringing consumers a
way to find the product they want, when they
want it,” said Jason LaRose, Under Armour
senior vice president of revenue, in a company statement. “We are now able to provide
custom experiences across our various categories specific to our diverse customer base.”
UA Shop users will find Under Ar-
mour’s performance apparel, footwear and
equipment as well as purchase recommendations tailored to the user. For example, the
company said, for a user in a warm climate
who has used Connect Fitness’ MapMyRun,
the app will suggest apparel and footwear
with UA CoolSwitch climate-control technology. Conversely, a user in a cool climate
will see Under Armour base-layer and outerwear products.
The UA Shop will allow Connected Fitness users to create a single profile, which
will be synced to their UA Shop account.
The app also allows one-touch purchasing
with Apple Pay, features expanded product
content and customer reviews, and allows
customers to scan apparel tags for “enhanced
in-store experiences.”
Based in Baltimore, Under Armor recently tapped designer Tim Coppens as the
executive creative director of UAS, a new
fashion-driven performance sportswear
brand under the Under Armour umbrella.
UAS will launch for fall 2016.

LA Debut at LA Live
TIM REGAS
For the launch of Made LA, Moschino
designer Jeremy Scott showcased the Moschino Spring menswear and Resort womenswear collections on the runway at LA Live

the city for the Los Angeles–based designer,
who typically shows Moschino in Milan and
London and his
eponymous collection in New York.
Scott’s vision
for Moschino is
“LA pop gothic,”
featuring a psychedelic palette
of fluorescent colors, bright pop-art
floral appliqués,
candy-colored
crochet, tie-dye
and animal prints.
Scott mixed patterns with a deft
hand in pieces that
were meticulously
tailored.
