Just Around The Corner confirms dates for SS23 shows

Trade Show Just Around The Corner (JATC) has announced the dates for the Spring/Summer 2023 season show in both London and Manchester.

JATC will return to Manchester on 2-3 August with a further expansion of the Freight Island venue. The London show will take place on the 7-9 August in a bigger space at the Truman Brewery to meet increasing demand.

The Autumn/Winter 22 season show in London's Boiler House in Truman Brewery showcased over 120 brands across women's and menswear and was regarded as a success by store holders and visitors.

JATC's debut show in Manchester on 18-19 January at the Freight Island warehouse showcased 80 brands across men's and womenswear and was well attended despite COVID-19 restrictions.

Juls Dawson, MD of JATC Events commented: “We have lots of exciting new developments following our first proper run at both debuting Manchester and also housing both womens and mens together in London, where we saw nearly 2000 buyers attend across the locations. JATC will be launching a new premium zone for womens, called “The Edit” in order to accommodate the 100 new brand enquiries we have had since the last editions as we continue to elevate our brand offering. Also we will be launching a new lifestyle zone for SS23 which will see an extensive and varied offer from products such as home fragrance, tableware, stationary, soft furnishing, decorative accessories, home tech, gifting etc

"We will also be expanding our burgeoning mens’ zone as along with our established blend of streetwear, up and coming brands and commercial offering, we will see continued growth of formal, smart, sport, denim, skate, surf, lifestyle, heritage and global brands, as this zone will become a focus of any buyer’s visit to the show. The unisex sustainable section which debuted last season and footwear and accessories will see the brand count at least double. Another area we will be concentrating on, will be increasing exhibitor and visitor numbers from overseas, including Ireland as international travel and markets open up again”
