New York Experience: Insights and Opportunities
During our visit, we engaged with international stakeholders, stylists, buyers, investors, and journalists. We explored NYC's retail market and garment district to understand better how to enter the US market. Key visits included the New York City Economic Development Corporation, Phillip Lim's HQ, and Atelier Amelia.
