"Atlanta Apparel and Formal Markets continue to build momentum as a premier fashion sourcing destination for the Southeast and beyond," said Caron Stover, ANDMORE^® Senior Vice President, Apparel Leasing. "The August edition will further elevate the experience with a dynamic mix of emerging and established brands, cross-category opportunities, and a vibrant sense of community that keeps buyers and exhibitors returning season after season."

What’s New for the Season

The August markets will feature expanded sourcing opportunities across key fashion categories, complemented by educational programming, trend presentations, networking events, hospitality experiences, and buyer services—creating a dynamic environment for learning, discovery, and meaningful industry connections that help buyers make informed purchasing decisions and maximize their time on campus. This market also represents one of the strongest selling periods for contemporary and resort wear categories, as retailers actively source collections to meet upcoming travel demand and plan for the year ahead. 

Children’s Market at AmericasMart returns this August, featuring a curated mix of more than 70 showrooms and temporary exhibitors representing over 200 lines—all located on the category’s dedicated 13th floor-–and offering buyers sourcing for key trends and in-demand products.

The social occasion and accessories category is supported by a wide range of showrooms featuring jewelry, handbags, and complementary accessories designed to complete any social occasion look.

New this year, Floor 5 in Building 3, will debut as a centralized destination for all temporary exhibitors, including Formal, Bridal and Accessories, and the newly branded “First Finds,” together creating a high-traffic hub for discovery.

On campus, a new Formal Buyer Lounge will debut on Building 3, Floor 14, offering a dedicated space for buyers to recharge and connect. The lounge will feature a bilingual attendant, morning seminars, charging stations, comfortable seating, and a margarita machine sponsored by ZUO—creating a welcoming, functional environment designed to support productivity throughout Market week.

Off campus, the highly anticipated “Quince on the Block” celebration returns to Ted Turner Blvd., bringing the energy of quinceañera culture outdoors in a vibrant, community-focused setting that highlights one of the Market’s key categories.
