Juls Dawson, Founder of Just Around The Corner, commented: “We are very excited about our new premium womens area and especially with regards to the recent influx of brands who have signed covering resort and swim as this is a new category for us and one we see huge growth potential, given there is no alternative event in London for buyers to interface with brands from this sector”

Richard from Alba Associates which represents brands such as Gottex, Marjoliane and Profile by Gottex, added: “We at Alba are delighted to be a part of JATC. Chris from Patricia Eve first alerted us to this show after joint attempts to resurrect The London Swimwear Show were proving difficult. With the earlier and truncated INDX, this show is at the right time and gives our Swimwear Buyers the opportunity to see Swim and Beachwear at a new show for our industry in London.
“The demand for a swimwear show in London has always been there and JATC now gives us that platform to showcase Gottex and our other brands to existing and hopefully new customers in a unique setting. The concept is extremely interesting and we hope that this proves a success for this season and for the years to come. I believe there is still space at the venue so any interested swimwear brands please contact JATC to make the show a bigger and better experience for all in the industry.”
The Edit zones will sit alongside Just Around The Corner’s main exhibition areas focused on commercially priced, established and emerging brands from both the men’s and women’s fashion sectors.
The show will also extend its presentation of fashion-forward sustainable brands for both men and women, which debuted last season and full brand listings can be seen on the show’s website.
