The international B2B platform BLANC Fashion presents an exclusive landing page for the project, with more than 16 thousand international buyers from 90 countries registered.
“In brand internationalization processes, one of the essential points is continuity. The third cycle of Brazil Fashion Now is a great achievement. Progress has been gradual and the project advances at each new edition. An international buyer purchases a brand for the first time to test not only the product in their market, but also the credibility and delivery capability of the brands. Throughout the collections, it is also possible to see the development of these relationships and the creation of partnerships,” Aurea Yamashita, Executive Manager of Fashion Label Brazil.
Brazil Fashion Now explores all the best of style, trend, and innovation in Brazilian fashion. Its third edition (BFN3), October 2021 – March 2022, brings together 22 Brazilian brands and 80 of the main international brands.
“Brazil Fashion Now, in addition to being at the forefront of digital trends for international promotion, also presents European and North American buyers with Brazilian fashion in all its plurality and diversity: from apparel of different segments to accessories and footwear, of companies that are of many different sizes. It is certainly a unique opportunity for Brazilian brands to obtain commercial gains and international image, in addition to the countless lessons arising from the experience of being present in an international digital platform,” Mariele Christ, project manager at Apex-Brasil
