Advanstar to buy U.S.-based fashion show organiser


News this week: U.S.-based B2B media company Advanstar Global LLC  announced its agreement to buy fashion trade show organiser ENK International for an undisclosed fee. ENK and Advanstar Communications will continue to operate as separate business entities upon completion of the acquisition.

ENK organises several leading fashion trade shows worldwide which take place in New York, Las Vegas, and across Europe and Asia. These include the New York-based Fashion Coterie, Intermezzo and Accessorie Circuit, as well as ENK Mode Shanghai and ENK’s own pavilion at the China International Clothing & Accessories Fair (CHIC) in Beijing.

Joe Loggia, CEO of Advanstar Global, said, “Having ENK, MAGIC and PROJECT within the same family of companies provides the fashion industry a choice of intimate and customised environments that satisfy their market needs. Moreover, Advanstar Global has made significant investments in new technology that will enable our company to further drive value, service and solutions across the entire fashion marketplace.”
