The Children’s Show: New York or Nowhere! Winter ’25 Edition
The Children’s Show returns with its 3rd edition, bringing unmatched excitement to the trade show calendar. With its curated selection of elevated brands, a unique event calendar, and an unparalleled atmosphere, this season’s theme, “New York, or Nowhere!” pays homage to the city’s dynamic spirit. New York, the epicenter of creativity, culture, and innovation, sets the perfect stage for a celebration of children’s fashion that is as bold and inspiring as the city itself.
New York has always been a beacon for dreamers, makers, and innovators, making it the perfect backdrop for this landmark event. The Children’s Show embraces this essence, showcasing exquisite collections from around the world while highlighting the heartbeat of the city through the lens of children’s fashion.
A New Home in Manhattan
This season, the Children’s Show is stepping into a spectacular new venue: Chelsea Industrial, located in Manhattan’s vibrant exhibition district. This sought-after space aligns seamlessly with the sophistication and vibrancy the event is known for. Its ground-floor lateral layout offers an effortless experience for buyers and attendees, making it easier than ever to explore the curated collections.
Organized by IEG USA and set up by FB International, the Children’s Show has cemented itself as an essential fixture in the children’s fashion calendar. This year promises an elevated experience with exciting new collaborations and surprises that will further establish the event as a ‘must-attend’ in New York.
Highlights of the Show
One of the standout features of this edition is the lineup of curated events. Attendees will enjoy exclusive runway shows, insightful industry talks, and interactive workshops with special guests. The Junior Style team is thrilled to announce that our editor-in-chief, Aleksandra Ataca, will serve as Creative Director for this edition, designing and styling a runway show that highlights the very best in children’s fashion. Following the show, a cocktail reception sponsored by the Brazilian footwear brand BiBi will bring together industry leaders to celebrate the collections and capture the essence of NYC’s metropolitan style.
Introducing TTT: Connecting Brands and Buyers
This season also marks the launch of an exciting new initiative, TTT, a platform designed to foster meaningful connections between brands and buyers. By allowing buyers to register ahead of the show, explore participating brands, and schedule appointments in advance, TTT ensures that every interaction is impactful and purposeful.
A Celebration of Excellence
Virginia Zingone, the visionary founder of the Children’s Show, encapsulates the spirit of this event perfectly: “This is much more than a tradeshow; it’s a celebration of children’s fashion at its finest. From exclusive collections to our unforgettable runway event – which we proudly call ‘The Kids Fashion Week’ as it takes place during New York Fashion Week – the Children’s Show creates unique opportunities to highlight the importance of this vibrant industry. It’s a chance to witness the future of children’s fashion up close.”
A Stellar Lineup of Brands
The roster of exhibitors reads like a ‘who’s who’ of children’s fashion, featuring renowned names such as Bugatti Junior, Catimini, Lili Gaufrette, BCBG MAXAZRIA Kids, Sal&Pimenta, Monnalisa, Pureté, Manila Grace, To Be Too, La Stupenderia, Livly, Fun&Fun, Needle & Thread, Gocco, and many more. From high-end couture to contemporary styles, the collections on display promise to inspire and amaze.
As we prepare to unveil the Winter ’25 edition, I’m reminded of why this industry is so special. It’s about more than clothing; it’s about creativity, connection, and celebrating the dreams of the next generation. The Children’s Show is a testament to this spirit, and I can’t wait to see what this season brings.
