Agent R.E.D. International

Retail is booming and our brands are flooded with reorders daily. People are gathering and celebrating life with deeper meaning and fervor than ever before. A sense of purpose is once again creating the need to get dressed, look good and feel good. A new way of dressing has emerged from this experience.... It's a new age: comfort casual chic. It’s entirely distinct and leaves an imprint of the times for future generations.

Me and Ben... So perfect together.

Feeling like a Barbie girl in a Barbie world at the Forum Trade show. Come on Barbie let’s go Party!

For all those who are interested to see the “glamour” of the wholesale of fashion business…. Here is a glimpse into trade show preparations.  Glamour is the fairy dust that we fashion folk sprinkle as the end result to the process…. And boy is the backstage work serious labor! Just in case you’re wondering where my well toned arms come from. LOL

RUPAUL was on the money with the hit You Better Work it Girl!!!!! The hustle is real! 😊 Virtual realty is our reality! Here is a glimpse of how a ZOOM goes down in our Brooklyn based showroom… its all an all hands on deck, full emersion kind of project!

In celebration of International Womens Day, I raise my glass(es) to all the strong, resilient nurturing, extraordinary, unbreakable, glorious, marvelous, dazzling, passionate beings around the world and back! There aren’t enough superlatives in the universe to emphasis how remarkable and special we are! Our strength of character is evident in all that we do every single day in all the facets of our being. After all, we have no choice.. we must conquer challenges that life presents and party onward and upward happily. And we do! Cheers to us all!

Its time to turn up the volume on our "On the R.E.D. Couch with Genie" interview series!  In a time when we feel so disconnected in this industry, social media proves to be our common denominator that keep us in touch.  Aside from the current climate, there has always been a lack of opportunity to have a meaningful exchange between industry insiders.  We can always use some advice from others in our business... whether its mistakes to avoid or lessons learned and shared.  Last year we initiated On the R.E.D. Couch with Genie as a means to provide that "connector" between Retailers, so they have the chance to hear from other Retailers/Designers from around the world.  We have already featured some exuberant personalities on our series.. and here is a very special interview with a valued partner and friend Katherine Venzke of Helena's of Arlington, based in Arlington, MA. Self-Coined " Optimistic realist  (I love that and share that life stance!) @ilovehelenas  shares her candid thoughts on topics from How COVID has affected the business and how she has not only survived but thrived during this unprecedented challenge of life to how she keeps in touch with the key people in her world despite the physical distancing, to sharing her admiration for the folks behind XCVI/Wearables, a key label @ilovehelenas as well as the exceptional craftmanship and detail in the @xcvioffical designs.... it all about "relationships" in this "year that has been an exercise in endurance" for Katherine.  I couldn’t agree more with her perspectives and am grateful for Katherines' loyal partnership.  Keep up your Joie de vivre - you are sunshine and inspire all who you surround you.  Cheers!

My prediction is that in a time when large gatherings aren’t possible, the smaller trade events will flourish as they create a safe and comfortable environment to shop in person.  Join us at the FORUM trade event next week in Mt Laurel, NJ and next month inWestchester and Long island.  DM for an Appointment.
