Saks Fifth Avenue announced Wednesday that it will host its first-ever Emerging Designer Showcase at its Fifth Avenue store in New York City on Tuesday, April 5.
The luxury retailer is currently searching for the best designer talent at the forefront of advance fashion. The Saks merchant team will host a forum to review emerging designer collections firsthand. Designers are invited to submit their digital lookbooks to be reviewed by the Saks fashion and buying office, and after careful review, the selected designers will be invited to present to buyers a formal collection showcase.
Designers that will be considered must meet a certain criteria, which includes that they must be women’s ready-to-wear focused, must bring a 8 to 12 product samples for review, must have line sheets with wholesale and retail pricing and must be able to fulfill orders and have production and shipping capabilities in place. Designers can also bring current and past lookbooks for review in addition to their samples.
"We work tirelessly to scout collections, searching for the best emerging talent in the fashion industry," said Saks Fifth Avenue Chief Merchant, Tracy Margolies. "I'm passionate about launching this platform and excited to extend this opportunity to all of the unbelievably talented designers on the market."
In order to be considered for the showcase, designers are asked to submit their digital lookbooks for review to the Saks fashion office email, which can be found on the Saks website.
