Easter Sunday Special: LIFEinSTYLE/KIDSinSTYLE Trade Show, Sydney Feb 2008
Posted: March 23rd, 2008Hope you’re having a ‘Bunderful’ Easter Sunday 
Ever wonder how all the stores come across fantastic new products? The answer is “trade shows”.
Trade shows are events put together for industry members to allow them to see, touch and talk about the products, and place their orders for the coming season.
The LIFEinSTYLE/KIDSinSTYLE – www.lifeinstyle.com.au – Trade Show is Australia’s leading event for premium and boutique brands.
In February, I went to Sydney to see 200 of the best adults and kids brands on the market show their wares.
The quality was outstanding; I think I stopped at every stand! The ambiance of the LIFEinSTYLE/KIDSinSTYLE show was also something to behold. Great design, great products, great layout, great styling, great music; I’m in heaven!
Trade shows are, as the name suggests, “Trade” only; they aren’t open to the general public. So, as an Easter special feature I’ve put together a little something for KidStyleFile readers; a small sample of the quality on show at LIFEinSTYLE/KIDSinSTYLE, to give you a window into the world of the designers and products that will be coming soon to a store near you.
I have included products from both the ‘LIFE’ and ‘KIDS’ sections. Many products in the ‘LIFE’ category, while not being specifically designed for kids, crossed over into kids territory. That’s what good design is all about. It complements who you are, and how you live, regardless of your age.
Note that I have included the web addresses of the distributors in the presentation, as many of the product aren’t available through retail sites yet. The distributor sites do/will provide information on stockists in due course. See the VIP programme for the presentation for details on the products.
This is a multi-media presentation – I recommend full screen viewing, and there is music – so pump it up and enjoy!
