“The unique designs, the plurality and the varied cultures mean the creations are unique. Discover the best of the country’s trends and innovations.”
Apex-Brasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency), ABEST (Brazilian Association of Fashion Designers), Abit (Brazilian Textile and Apparel Industry Association), and Abicalçados (Brazilian footwear Industries Association) promoted Brasil Fashion Now to position Brazilian fashion brands in the international market.
“BFN is a democratic project, an excellent opportunity for brands. For those who have never had any experience with the international market, it offers an enormous learning experience about what it means to take the step towards internationalization, from several important perspectives – such as, for example, seasonality, brand building, collection, price composition, and vocabulary. Even the participation in physical events does not provide this kind of understanding. For brands that already have some type of distribution, the project is an opportunity to be in a channel that serves all the needs for continuity and expansion of your business in a consistent way, cutting steps along the way, reducing costs, and improving processes. With the continuity of the project, now in its third edition, we can see the realization of these relationships that have been cultivated, boosting Brazilian brands around the world”, Manoela Amaro, CEO and Co-Founder of BLANC.
Originality, Plurality, Varied Cultures
Brasil Fashion Now explores all of the originality, trends, and innovation of Brazilian fashion through the international B2B BLANC Fashion platform.
