Faltering economy fails to dampen the CurveNY spirit

Despite the fluctuating economy, buyers did select CURVENY New York as the destination to find the highest quality intimate apparel, swimwear, and men's collections for their stores. They came, they discovered the right products to boost their sales and speak to the diverse consumer, and they wrote orders.

With a total of 3,193, there was an increase not only in the number of visitors attending, but in the time that they stayed at the three-day show. For the first time, more than 50% of the buyers worked the floor for two days. Geographically, the greater tri-state area represented 53% of visitors, with the remainder of the visitors originating from the East Coast, with Florida representing 11%.

Good response, despite the date change
