Retailers added 28,000 jobs last month.

Consumer confidence surged to a five-year high in May.

Clearing Skies Forecast for U.S. EconomyBy KRISTI ELLIS

WASHINGTON — As buyers head out to trade shows across the country starting next month, the U.S. eco-nomic outlook for the second half is looking brighter.

The forecast is buoyed by rising home prices, strengthening job growth and consumer confidence, and strong stock market performances, but econo-mists are keeping a close eye on consumer spending, which weakened in May and could put a damper on real growth.

In the overall economy, employment rose by 175,000 jobs in May, beating economists’ expecta-tions, and the unemployment rate ticked up slight-ly to 7.6 percent because more people were con-fident about finding jobs and entered the market looking for employment. Retailers added 28,000 jobs in the month.

Consumer confidence surged to a five-year high in May, marking the second consecu-tive month of strong increases, after slumping in the first quar-ter. The Conference Board’s Confidence Index rose 7.2 points in May to 76.2, boosting retail stocks. Consumer confi-dence is closely tied to the em-ployment picture and as that outlook brightens, econ-omists expect confidence and spending to respond.

“The outlook on labor market conditions im-proved and consumers are considerably more op-timistic in their economic outlook,” said Chris G. Christopher Jr., direct of consumer markets for IHS Global Insight. “The recent rise in home values and the stock market is helping many Americans feel more optimistic, as well. The recent payroll num-bers are another big plus on the consumer confi-dence front.”

Christopher warned the confidence can fall faster than it increases. IHS is forecasting that real con-sumer spending growth will hover around 2.1 percent this year, which he called “relatively respectable, but nothing to write home about.”

John Lonski, chief economist at Moody’s Capital Markets Group, said: “One of the striking features of the current recovery is the slowdown in income growth.”

Lonski said the average annual rate of employ-ment income growth — wages, salaries and propri-etor’s income — has fallen to 3.7 percent during the current recovery, from an average annual rate

of 6.4 percent during the economic recovery under President Bill Clinton, from 1991 to 2000.

“That suggests there is a more limited upside for consumer spending growth,” Lonski said. “It also tells us that the U.S. labor force has become increasingly exposed to competitive pressures from the cheaper and increasingly skilled work-forces of countries such as China and India. Thus the upside for the income growth for the average middle class American household has been declin-ing over time and that is going to create some ob-stacles to realize faster sales growth for companies that cater to U.S. consumers.”

He added that slower income growth reduces the potential for long-term gains in consumer spending.

Yet, Lonski still believes that general merchandis-ers, department stores and apparel and accessories chains will have a better second half compared with

the first half.In May, sales at clothing and

accessories stores were 3.8 per-cent higher than in May 2012 on a seasonally adjusted basis, while sales at general merchan-dise stores were up 1.1 percent and sales at department stores were down 3.9 percent year over year.

“We think employment in-come will continue to grow and thus it is highly likely we could see significant improvement by year-to-year comparisons for sales at general merchandise stores, including department stores,” said Lonski. “Apparel specialty stores are also doing much better and they should continue to do pretty well. If we get even more job growth, it will benefit apparel sales in the 3.5 to 4 percent growth range, which is pretty good.”

Christopher at IHS concurred and noted that IHS is predicting that sales at apparel specialty stores will be up 3.4 percent in the second quarter compared with the same time period in 2012. IHS expects the third quarter to weaken to 0.7 percent year-over-year and then pick up to 1.5 percent sales growth in the fourth quarter.

Christopher said department store sales are drag-ging down the general merchandise category and will continue to be soft in the second half.

“Department stores are a pretty dismal pic-ture from our point of view in the second half,” Christopher said. “Wage increases are just not that strong and that is part of the issue.”

Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, said real income growth is “sluggish,”

which he expect to have a dampening effect on con-sumer spending and ultimately retail sales.

“With real disposable personal income growth weak (1 percent year-over-year in April), we won’t return to robust retail growth,” in the second half, Johnson said.

Johnson said retail sales will continue on a “slow growth” cycle in the second half.

He said such stores as TJ Maxx and Ross have been “very strong and will continue to grow because they operate on the value format side.”

Andrew Fitzpatrick, director of investments at Hinsdale Associates, said a “select group” of retail-ers should perform well in the second half based on a recovery in the sales and confidence numbers.

“We are seeing strength in companies like Macy’s where cost cutting and effective pricing has resulted in strong earnings,” Fitzpatrick said. “Gap is doing better with its international business and that seems to be giving them a lift. I think Target had a disap-pointing [comp-store sales] report but the company is certainly growing and it is one that should be pretty solid in terms of growth going forward.”

Kevin Regan, senior managing director at FTI Consulting, said there are a “number of positives out there and not just negatives.

“The positives are consumer confidence, which just registered a five-year high by the Conference Board and there is a wealth effect that is going on, predominantly because of the rising stock market,” Regan said.

On the negative side, Regan pointed to the con-sumer balance sheet, which he said is “getting back into trouble” because people are dipping into sav-ings to continue spending. He said the savings rate dropped in the first quarter to 2.3 percent after aver-aging over 4 percent in 2012.

“That is always a concern to me,” he said. “That is telling me they are feeling positive, which is fine, but you don’t want to be taking risks when the economists are saying we are in a slow growth economy.…We are in a stable environment, but it is slow growth.”

Regan said the apparel category is “OK” as it relates to sales in brick-and-mortar stores, but he thinks apparel sales will have a “better story in 2013 as it relates to the online world.”

He said stores such as Macy’s, Kohl’s, Wal-Mart, Gap and Nordstrom are all posting double-digit on-line apparel sales increases.

“Retailers are realizing there is a shift going on that is significant and they are attacking it,” Regan said.

N.Y. Shows Take on International FlavorBy MARC KARIMZADEH

NEW YORK — Show locally, act globally.Organizers of New York trade exhibitions

are infusing an international flavor this fall with more designers from around the world and an anticipated rise in foreign buyer attendance. These global business oppor-tunities from abroad contribute to a more upbeat forecast for the second half, largely based on a rise in consumer confidence, an improving housing market and steadier job growth than in recent years in the U.S.

“This year, the first half of the year has been on par with the first half of last year, and we are looking for growth in the sec-ond half of the year,” said Britton Jones, president and chief executive officer of Business Journals Inc.’s BJI Fashion Group, which produces Fame, Moda, AccessoriesTheShow and MRketNY. “The general economic recovery is sustained and there is a lot of pent-up demand, par-ticularly in the fashion markets. Retailers will realize that surge this spring-summer as people are continuing to buy closer to market. We think the second half this year will be very strong.”

The January and February New York editions of AccessoriesTheShow, Moda Manhattan and Fame registered a 12 percent increase in international retailer attendance, and Jones expects the trend to continue. MRket’s Vanguard’s Gallery of emerging men’s brands is also growing with a 140 percent rise in participating brands.

Newness will provide a key ingredient across all Business Journals shows, and so, the company has been overhauling much of its communication to re-tailers to serve the point.

“We are revamping our newsletters to include features like ‘Brand Buzz’ to give insights into the culture and philosophy of the designers, as well as perhaps what charities they do, what inspires them and product launches,” Jones said.

The company is also stepping up its work with bloggers, bringing blog lounges to the shows, as well Social Circle lounges “to provide information for all of our social media platforms,” said Sharon Enright, vice president of BJI Fashion Group.

Tom Nastos, president of ENK International, which stages shows such as Accessories Circuit, Intermezzo Collections, Fashion Coterie and Children’s Club, said: “I see economic recovery and some moderate growth, so consumers are feeling better. That will re-sult in better performance for retailers. There is a sig-nificant uptick in business and I am anticipating the

second half of the year to be very good.”Among the happenings at ENK is a new program

at Accessories Circuit in August that highlights emerging designers. It will be comparable in nature to Coterie’s TMRW area and serve as “a catalyst to supply something new to the industry.”

As for Coterie itself, the show, scheduled from Sept. 17 to 19, will be housed under one roof at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. Past editions were split be-tween Javits and Pier 94. ENK plans to take the Galleria space at Javits and devote it to “innovative, creative brands that have a limited distribution,” Nastos said.

International vendors and retail attendees will also be a key point of interest. “Coterie is an inter-national event and we get retailers from around the world to participate,” Nastos said. “We will also have more brands coming from Japan, the U.K., Italy and Australia. That…adds to the upscale international flavor of Coterie.”

Meanwhile, Designers & Agents will stage its spring 2014 edition at the Starrett-Lehigh Building and Center 548 on Sept. 16 to 18.

“The outlook is positive based on indicators from our shows during the first half of the year,” said Ed Mandelbaum, who produces D&A with Barbara Kramer. “In addition, feedback from our retail audience has been positive, as well. We have also seen an increase in European exhibitors, many of whom had not previously shown in the U.S., a trend that will continue for us.”

Mandelbaum added that the talent ranges from all over the world, including domestic designers and from

Europe and Japan. “In addition, D&A remains committed to its long-standing and continued support of fashion brands which employ sustainable and fair trade practices,” he added.

Other shows this second half include Atelier Designers, slated for Sept. 16 to 18 at the Doubletree Guest Suites in Times Square; Nouveau Collective, Aug. 4 to 6 and Sept. 22 to 24 at a space at 508 West 37th Street, and CurveNY, set for Aug. 4 to 6 at the Javits Center North.

Capsule is staging a men’s wear show July 22 and 23 and a women’s show Sept. 15 to 17 at Basketball City on South Street.

“Business is looking up for our sec-tor of the market,” said Edina Sultanik, a co-owner of Capsule with Deirdre Maloney and Minya Quirk. “In our seg-ment of the marketplace, there’s an emergence of innovative boutique re-tailers who are presenting the progres-sive consumer with more experiential shopping opportunities, and a more

compelling, curated selection of products that are driving sales.”

Among Capsule’s key features of the September show are The Donut Shop and Cash & Carry areas.

“The Cash & Carry concept features a curated se-lection of objects, decorative items, lifestyle products, vinyl and vintage American sportswear presented by collectors, local craftsmen and small retailers,” Sultanik said. “The Donut Shop — named for the its original location in a circular space — is a gathering of

things we love, available to purchase and inspire, be-cause ceramics, art objects, plants, incense, art books, handmade stationery, amazing vintage finds and other timely goods help bring the brands at Capsule to life.”

As for the mood, she said, “We are seeing a lot of optimism on the part of designers, sales reps and re-tailers for this second half. Business is improving, and everyone is approaching the season with cau-tion, but with an eye on growth.”

A full lineup of textile and sourcing shows is on tap for July, offering an array of U.S. and internation-al fabric suppliers and sourcing specialists.

Five shows get under way on July 16. The larg-est of the group are the twin apparel fabric exhi-bitions, Texworld USA and International Apparel Sourcing Show, which set up shop together with the Home Textiles Sourcing Expo at the Javits Center for three days through July 18. The Messe Frankfurt USA-produced shows feature an extensive seminar series run in conjunction with Lenzing Fibers that will examine a range of issues, from global sourcing to fiber innovation.

Also running July 16 to 18 is Spin Expo at the Metropolitan Pavilion, focusing on fibers and yarns for knitting and weaving apparel, laces, labels and techni-cal textiles. It also covers creative machinery for knit-wear and circular knits. Denim-focused Kingpins New York takes the stage at Center 548 on West 22nd Street on July 16 and 17 with an edited selection of vendors that include denim and sportswear fabric mills from across the globe, as well as wash houses, full package manufacturers and trim providers.

The following week, on July 22 and 23, the Première Vision Preview New York and Indigo ex-hibitions take over the Metropolitan Pavilion. PV Preview features some of the top European fabric houses and trimming suppliers, while Indigo hosts a diverse group of print design firms.

Vegas Venues Bet on Women’sBy KHANH T.L. TRAN

EVEN AS NEW competition heats up the Las Vegas trade show circuit and women’s ex-hibitors try to overcome the historical premise that the market is geared toward men’s wear, event organizers are bull-ish that retailers will flock to the upcoming August editions.

From Aug. 18 to 22, more than a dozen trade shows are vying for the time and dollars managed tightly by buyers who travel not only from the west-ern states, but also from Japan, Mexico, Canada and other for-eign countries.

“There’s a bit of confidence I didn’t see two years ago,” said Christopher Griffin, vice presi-dent of WWDMAGIC. “For most people, the feeling is the worst is behind us. There’s definitely a sense of optimism out there.”

A triangle of trade is emerg-ing in Las Vegas. Advanstar is hosting WWDMAGIC, FN Platform, Sourcing at MAGIC and WSA@MAGIC at the Las Vegas Convention Center and also Project, ENK Vegas, Pool Trade Show and MAGIC Men’s at Mandalay Bay. Over at the Venetian and Palazzo hotels, Modern Assembly is launch-ing as a new umbrella covering AccessoriesTheShow, MRket, Capsule, Stitch (formerly Moda) and two new entries to the city, Agenda and Liberty Fairs. WomensWear in Nevada is maintaining its post at the Rio Hotel.

The inauguration of Liberty is highly anticipated because

of its heritage and focus. Sam Ben-Avraham, its founder, also started Project in 2003 be-fore selling the contemporary and denim-centric show to Advanstar two years later. In addition to offering joint reg-istration with Agenda, which also operates its namesake show in New York and Long Beach, Calif., Ben-Avraham said Liberty plans to sponsor a Made in USA sourcing section and offer exhibitors a 45-day free trial of an online shopping and order processing system called Nuorder.

While men’s makes up the majority of the 250 brands at Liberty, 20 percent of them are dual-gender labels. Some of the brands catering to women include Mackage, Cheap Monday, Pendleton and Isabel Benenato, which is participat-ing in a Las Vegas trade event for the first time.

“A huge percentage of stores that attend the Las Vegas mar-ket are small specialty stores that buy both men’s and wom-en’s,” Ben-Avraham said. “I have built my entire show around the needs of the com-munity, so if there comes a time when they ask for a women’s-only option, we would be open.”

Many top women’s brands have opted to wait until Coterie, which generally starts a week to a month after the Las Vegas expo, to unveil their new collections.

“Women’s is still tough for us in regards to timing,” said Edina Sultanik Silver, co-own-er of New York-based BPMW, which produces Capsule. “Some

of the brands aren’t ready to show spring [product in August]. We’re getting some people who are bringing immediates or hol-iday [collections].”

Comprising 40 percent of the 200 brands expected in the next Capsule show, the wom-en’s lines include Black Crane, Henrik Vibskov and Christine Alcalay. Sultanik Silver added that last season Capsule hired women’s retail specialist Jess Hemenway to coordinate re-lations with retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Harvey Nichols, Anthropologie and Shopbop.com.

“She works with buyers on a one-on-one basis to make suggestions and introductions to brands she thinks the buy-ers would like to work with,” Sultanik Silver said.

To help buyers scout for emerging brands, Business Journals Inc., the Norwalk, Conn.-based owner of Stitch and AccessoriesTheShow, is introducing new programs at both shows, which are expand-ing their space by 20 percent to accommodate more than 800 lines combined. Stitch is highlighting Italian manufac-turers of leather jackets and handbags from Sicily, whereas AccessoriesTheShow is un-veiling Designer Lab, a venue for brands that have been in business for one to two years. Plus, Modern Assembly’s policy to have all six shows open on the same day at the same hour could boost attendance.

“We think there will be some positive crossover traffic be-tween ourselves and Liberty,

and Liberty and Agenda, and ourselves and Capsule,” said Britton Jones, Business Journals’ president and chief executive officer.

Strength in numbers is also promoted on the Advanstar side. While Project will no lon-ger house a women’s-specific section — ENK Vegas is display-ing all the women’s brands — it is featuring 47 dual-gender pre-mium denim brands, including stalwarts such as Hudson Jeans, AG Adriano Goldschmied and J Brand, and first-time exhibi-tors like Raleigh. To support the important denim market, Project is moving a new pre-mium denim section to the front of the show. It’s also transfer-ring an offshoot of the ongoing Blogger Project organized by

Marcus Troy with bloggers cov-ering only the jeansmakers.

“The premium denim brands are really busy,” said Tommy Fazio, president of Project. “The bloggers will help them to reach the universe.”

One way to reach buyers and consumers is by employ-ing a guest fashion director. WWDMAGIC is bringing “100 Unforgettable Dresses” author Hal Rubenstein back after his debut last February. Scheduled to be at WWDMAGIC during the first two days of the show, Rubenstein is pulling his favor-ite pieces across all categories and displaying them on manne-quins for a Q&A on trends. He’s also curating the fashion show for WWDMAGIC.

“He was well received by both buyers and brands [in February],” said WWDMAGIC’s Griffin.

Other changes a t WWDMAGIC entail the inte-gration of ENK International, which owns WSA and ENK Vegas, following its acquisition last year. WSA, which special-izes in fast-fashion and private-label footwear, moved its August dates to coincide with the other Advanstar events. To be held in the Las Vegas Hotel, WSA is adjacent to Sourcing at Magic, which is transferring to the Las Vegas Convention Center’s North Hall from the South Hall. The WWDMAGIC categories that used to be in the North Hall — including White, Heart of Prêt, contemporary and dress-es — are shifting to the second floor of the South Hall, directly above FN Platform. The space and layout for WWDMAGIC in the North Hall are exactly the same. The young contemporary and junior sections remain in the Central Hall.

“What we found is the num-ber of scanned-in buyers from FN Platform that were in North Hall was over 40 percent,” Griffin said. “We see an oppor-tunity to make it easier for the buyer. We either make it simple for the buyer or we’re not doing our job.”

Hal Rubenstein is returning as WWDMAGIC guest fashion director.

Regional Marts Reaching OutBy HOLLY HABER and

RACHEL BROWN

THE MAJOR regional trade marts — Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta and Chicago — are stepping up their focus on key areas such as contemporary and social occa-sion, and strengthening social media and buyer outreach in the second half.

In Los Angeles, trade show orga-nizers said with the economy steady-ing, they are spreading into additional categories, introducing new show con-cepts and experimenting with efforts to engage retailers and brands.

“I definitely am feeling an optimistic vibe from the retail community,” said Aaron Levant, founder and president of the trade show Agenda. “I see people investing, taking more chances, open-ing more stores. I don’t think everyone is out of the woods yet, but the people who are differentiating themselves have done well, and there is an oppor-tunity to do even better.”

He predicted Agenda’s Long Beach show on July 25 and 26 will register an increase of 25 percent in the number of attendees checking out its 600-plus brands. To broaden its reach, Agenda is adding a dedicated women’s compo-nent at its Long Beach edition.

Under Vanessa Chiu, brought in this year as director of women’s sales and marketing, Agenda is adding about 50 women’s brands and 75 to 100 that have dual-gender collections. The women’s, along with men’s contemporary and lifestyle brands, will be housed in a section at Agenda called The Woods, which features raw wood booths and brands with loftier price points. The show is also introducing Agenda Emerge, a conference with creative di-rectors, industry leaders and entrepre-neurs on July 26.

The California Market Center is doing its share of expanding, as well. The downtown Los Angeles complex, which contains apparel, accessories and gift showrooms, and puts on five fashion markets a year, is extending its fashion markets by one day by starting them officially on Sunday. They will go from Sunday, a day that previously had limited preview sessions, to Thursday.

“Since we have been doing the Sunday preview, which has been going on a couple of years now, a lot of our showrooms have seen great traffic, and some retailers would rather shop on Sundays than during the week, and we are being more accommodating,” said Alyson Bender, who handles public re-lations, social media and marketing for the CMC.

The CMC is also launching a men’s show later this year or early next. The CMC has an existing strong collection of men’s brands found on its fourth floor.

AmericasMart in Atlanta is developing

bridal, prom and young contemporary, while the Chicago Merchandise Mart fo-cuses on men’s contemporary and miss-es’ modern wear and the Dallas Market Center cultivates young contemporary.

All of the venues, including Fashion Industry Gallery in Dallas, are ramping up social media to promote themselves.

“We’re feeling great about the second half of the year,” said Cindy Morris, chief operating officer at the Dallas Market Center. “From an atten-dance perspective it’s been very strong — 20 percent are new customers — and in leasing we’re seeing some real strength.”

The DMC attracts stores primarily from Texas and neighboring states, but has seen increased buyer traffic from places such as Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean, Morris noted. The contem-porary area of FashionCenterDallas is almost full with about 400 lines. Young contemporary is another fast-growing category, swelling to about 100 compa-nies exhibiting in booths on the 12th

floor. This year, the DMC also added a new tem-porary area of contem-porary resources to its twice yearly men’s show.

The DMC counts nearly 19,000 follow-ers between Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, noted Meredith Hite, vice president of cor-porate communica-tions. “We’ll be spend-ing more time on Pinterest,” Hite said. “It’s important to be able to show the lines within our building.”

AmericasMart this year wired its complex for mobile phone ser-

vice, added marketing staff for social media and is redesigning its Web site, said Lori Kisner, senior vice president of apparel leasing.

“This past April was the largest show we’ve ever had in the history of selling temporary exhibit space, so we are definitely seeing a return of ven-dors,” Kisner said. “We’re also getting inquiries from new buyers, who are set-ting up stores.”

So many new boutiques have popped up in Florida that the mart is dispatching a team in late June to court them, she said.

Growth has come this year from new booth show Luxe featuring brands like Jordan Louis, while corporate leases including Mavi Jeans and Sorelli jew-elry have been signed, and new show-rooms and lines have been added such as Seven Threads, Lori Veith Sales and Milk + Honey. Business is also thriv-ing in social occasion dressing, espe-cially prom, which extended onto a second floor last August, Kisner noted. AmericasMart plans to spotlight a juried group of emerging designers in August and introduce a niche booth show for bridal accessories and jewelry at its sec-ond annual bridal show in September.

In Chicago, the number of contem-porary exhibitors has jumped by about 20 percent this year, filling half of the Stylemax women’s show and half of Chicago Collective men’s wear, said Susan McCullough, senior vice presi-dent of apparel for Merchandise Mart Properties Inc.

“That’s where we are looking to have growth and that’s where we see movement,” McCullough said.

About 250 women’s contemporary labels are expected to show in August and 300 in October, according to Monique Lyle, marketing director.
