LAS VEGAS, NV – February 20, 2026 – The February 16–19, 2026, edition of Las Vegas Apparel (LVA)—co-located with Womenswear in Nevada (WWIN) and The Men’s Edit (TME) at The Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas—concluded four days of robust commerce where a refreshed, high-energy atmosphere allowed boutique owners and major retailers to efficiently secure Spring/Summer 2026 collections and immediate inventory. This unified West Coast destination fostered steady order writing and product exploration across an expanded range of categories, drawing a global audience of buyers who utilized the reimagined floor layout to maximize their sourcing potential.
A Connected Market Experience
From morning welcome moments—complimentary exhibitor and buyer breakfast, music and custom coffee—to midday touchpoints including buyers’ and exhibitors lunches, brand activations and product demos, the Market maintained an energetic pace from open to close. The upbeat environment extended into the evenings, with social gatherings and the Market Kickoff Party drawing strong attendance and creating opportunities for buyers and exhibitors to connect in a relaxed, celebratory setting.
Community and Professional Networking
Beyond the transaction of business, Las Vegas Apparel provided a professional backdrop for industry connections and networking. The integration of social spaces, such as "The Social" hub, fostered new connections and the strengthening of B2B relationships in a relaxed environment.
Exhibitor feedback highlighted the importance of these physical touchpoints, noting that the ability to showcase product quality in person remains a critical driver for the wholesale fashion industry.
Trend Insights, Education & Buyer Engagement
This season’s programming centered on real-time insights and buyer-led education. A highlight of the week was the Boutique Hub Trend Tour, which gave attendees a curated walkthrough of the show floor, identifying key items and merchandising strategies for the season ahead. Buyers praised the hands-on, actionable format for helping them make informed buying decisions and spot emerging patterns in silhouettes, fabrication and color.
Experiential activations, including the Bara Boheme Permanent Bracelet Station, Easel’s Sandals Edition Charm Bar and Silver N Accessories’ Bracelet Bar, added interactive elements that encouraged buyers to pause, engage and explore brands more deeply. Sponsored amenities—such as espresso martini and mimosa carts from Timing/Lumiere—kept energy high throughout the week.
Voices from the Market
“The market was an incredibly successful and energizing experience, offering the perfect environment to discover new brands, forecast emerging trends, and build valuable relationships. With strong organization and support from the LVA Apparel team, I was able to efficiently source women’s apparel, accessories, and jewelry that align with the Apricot Lane Boutique model while also uncovering exciting new lines I may not have found otherwise. The opportunity to connect directly with vendors, reps, and market partners — and to be thoughtfully introduced to brands that truly fit our customer base — made the experience both productive and inspiring. Las Vegas continues to be a must-attend destination for serious buyers, and it presents a powerful platform for exhibitors looking to connect with engaged retailers who are actively writing business.” - Rosemarie Ursua, Sr. Merchandise Manager at Apricot Lane Boutique.
“We have participated in every edition of LVA and witnessed its steady growth into the successful event it is today. The shows marketing and management places great value on both vendors and buyers creating a respectful and professional environment. We look forward to returning for the next market." - Albert Chi- SPIN USA
