With a 15% increase in attendance, the Long Beach Convention Center was buzzing with buyers, retailers and press checking out the almost 600 brands showing their Fall 2013 lines, with more than 30 key women\u2019s and accessory showing.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The women&#8217;s, lifestyle and accessories sections have seen the most growth with new collections including Nudie, Lucy Love, Apolis, Motel, Mutta Footwear, Komono, Sun Pocket, Schwood, and Topo Designs joining returning Agenda brands, Volcom and Nike,&#8221; said Agenda founder Aaron Levant.<\/p>\n<p> With the recent news of Agenda joining Reed Exhibitions, Levant has plans in place to accelerate the Agenda Show\u2019s growth, both nationally and globally. Agenda will continue to focus on bringing together the fashion lifestyle, action sports and street culture industries in a setting that provides an equal footing for all brands to see the most influential buyers across every retail segment.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cAs a former men\u2019s apparel buyer who\u2019s now a women\u2019s apparel and accessories buyer, I have been attending the Agenda Trade Show for almost seven years now and this is by far one of the best shows for my specific demographic and brand assortment,\u201d said Jen Rhee, women\u2019s buyer for Miss KL and Karmaloop. \u201cNot only has Agenda populated some of the best street and surf brands, but they have expanded the genres by including more selection for both genders as well. I\u2019ve noticed that the traffic attendance of the shows has grown immensely, probably due to this, and I have no doubt in mind that this show will continue to be on every buyer\u2019s radar.\u201d <\/p>\n<p> Among the business on the floor, the show played host to the Transworld Business Industry+Retailer Awards, the Action Sports and Culture Conference, and the Malakye ShmoozaPalooza.  After Friday\u2019s show there were two different Agenda 10-year celebrations, with one hosted by Famous, Skull Candy and performances by Travis Barker, Yelawolf and Mix Master Mike and the other featured The Game and DJ Skee with hosts Stevie Williams, Supra, and DGK.<\/p>\n<p> Agenda now prepares for the more intimate Agenda New York Show, which returns to 82 Mercer on January 23rd and 24th, with almost 200 brands on display.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cI love the direction that the Agenda Show is heading,\u201d said Silke Labson, owner of Shown To Scale. \u201cThe lines between street, blog, street style and high-end fashion are just blurring together and I love what&#8217;s happening. I&#8217;m glad Shown To Scale is one of many women&#8217;s lines infiltrating the boys club at Agenda, as well as the first women&#8217;s non-surf or skate lines to test the waters and let me tell you \u2013 come on in, the water&#8217;s fine!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> About AGENDA:<\/p>\n<p>The AGENDA trade show, in partnership with Reed Exhibitions, is the forum for the most inspired in the street wear and action sports industries to unite.
