WGSN, the world’s leading style and trend analysis service, will kick off its Vegas trend coverage by offering insider trend intelligence through their new WGSN Americas blog- www.wgsn.com/americas. WGSN trend experts will navigate the booths at MAGIC, PROJECT, CAPSULE, and POOL to deliver insight on current and future trends that buyers and retailers should look for. Not only will WGSN editors hand-pick key looks, innovative products, and inspiring brands to help attendees maneuver the cluttered terrain, but they’ll provide the why behind the trends with links to WGSN forecasts.

Trade show attendees can also look forward to WGSN tweets at http://twitter.com/wgsn so they can immediately trace the WGSN footprint throughout the shows and keep up with exciting exhibits and dynamic designs.

“The WGSN Americas trend blog, along with our Twitter feeds, adds a new dimension to our reporting in Vegas, offering readers instant access to the items our experts are picking out on the show floors, together with their analysis of which trends they’re tracking and why,” said Sally Lohan, WGSN West Coast Content Director.

WGSN seminars will complement the real-time trend information on the WGSN Americas blog and Twitter. The exclusive seminar series will be held at the Renaissance Hotel on Tuesday, September 1, 2009. Guiding attendees through youth/junior trends, Fall/Winter 2009/2010 styling directions, Spring/Summer 2010 overviews, and a preview of WGSN signature macro-trend directions for Fall/Winter 2010/2011, Sally Lohan, WGSN’s West Coast Content Director, will empower buyers, retailers, and designers with knowledge to identify products and trends that will have a positive impact on their businesses.
