LondonEdge Suspends 2020 Shows

The international trade show for lifestyle and alternative fashion, LondonEdge, has joined the long list of trade events that have to cancel their upcoming 2020 events.  Both its London and Las Vegas editions for Autumn 2020 in light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic are now cancelled and their teams are putting their ‘positive’ energy into their events in 2021. The dates for these will be confirmed by the team in the coming weeks.

The organisers said although tentatively watching and waiting before moving forward with any formal plans for the Autumn shows on both sides of the Atlantic, LondonEdge felt that it was neither practical, nor advisable to go ahead with the upcoming exhibitions in the short term, despite the world being in various phases in the re-emerging from the global lockdown, given the current safety and travel restrictions.

In the meantime, brands and buyers are encouraged to do business via the trade fairs’ multi-brand digital wholesale sourcing platform LondonedgeNOW. The team have reworked their online incarnate to provide a multi-brand facility to buyers and sellers within the lifestyle, retro and alternative streetwear marketplaces.

Managing Director, Carole Hunter said: “Four months into this strange new reality and the world is beginning to move forward positively. Excitement and the same positive perspective apply to all at LondonEdge as we move towards 2021 with the determination to approach things anew and deliver fresh ideas at our next shows at a time when we can celebrate meeting again.”
Further information and 2021 dates on the LondonEdge February, August and September shows in both London and Las Vegas will be available shortly. To sign up to LondonEdgeNOW please visit www.londonedgenow.com.
