Summer in the City: Playtime New York + Kids Hub Recap

Summer in the City: Playtime New York + Kids Hub Recap

 We headed to New York City for the summer edition of Playtime New York and Kids Hub July 30 to August 1, 2023, at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan, supporting overseas client Boardies Apparel swimwear who was exhibiting. Based in Europe, Playtime is one of the leading children’s fashion and lifestyle trade shows for emerging and established brands worldwide, curating a beautiful mix of independent labels as well as industry mainstays.

It was a strong show that indicates retail sales are bouncing back after a few challenging years, with buyers gravitating towards sustainability, nostalgia, cheerful prints, and earthy, desert-inspired colorways. Fashion Snoops stopped by the share their insightful trend forecast for Spring/Summer 2024 echoing these sentiments.

The Earnshaw’s Magazine Earnie Awards nominees were also announced at the show, with client Boardies named a Best New Brand nominee! Vote here.

We had a great time connecting with the talented designers behind the brands and gain valuable insight on the industry’s trends for the upcoming seasons. To see how we can support and amplify your children’s fashion and lifestyle brand as well, please schedule a time to chat on our Calendly.

Catching Up: 2020 Recap & What’s Coming in 2021!

Catching Up: 2020 Recap & What’s Coming in 2021!

2020 has been one for the books…In this tough year of reckoning it’s shown how resilient & creative we all can be. Despite the unpredictability of the year, Magnolia PR still managed to land new clients & major media coverage (some pictured!). We expanded our offerings and were honored to write the content for the first-ever Children’s Club completely digital trade show.

Many brands & individuals took this time to reevaluate their purpose & create new business models. Our client Leena Alsulaiman was a prime example of this- she launched her fashion & branding consultancy during the height of lockdown- now she has coveted press features & mentions in Business Insider, CNN, Fast Company, Thrive Global, PR Couture, Medium, and more in just a few months. Our loyal longtime clients weathered the storm when others bailed & reaped the press benefits- big time!

We gratefully took the lessons learned from over a decade in business & applied them to pandemic life. Adapt, adjust, focus on what’s working & how you can help.

What’s in store for 2021? We plan to refresh our offerings and uplevel in all aspects with new services and packages. Serve our clients at the highest level. Provide solutions on how to gain brand visibility, trust, and ultimately more sales. Cheers to a fresh new year of hope & possibility!
