FINALLY, A TRADE FAIR THAT STARTS THE NEW YEAR “IN STYLE!”

LIFE inSTYLE, Australia’s leading trade event for premium and boutique brands, brings together the best in designer homewares, giftware, fashion accessories, jewellery, and kids products for the discerning and up-market buyer and will be staged over five days in Sydney from February 19 to 23 February 2009.

LIFE inSTYLE is a juried trade fair and all products are reviewed by a panel of industry experts prior to selection.  This juried process ensures the quality of product on display at LIFE inSTYLE is both outstanding and diverse for visitors.

Only high quality, up-market products are featured and product categories include;

   
• Homewares, tableware, furniture, textiles & soft furnishings, kitchenware & lighting products
• Designer and lifestyle products, stationery, giftware and body products
• Jewellery, fashion and travel accessories, plus
• kids inSTYLE, showcasing a selection of kids fashion, designer toys and accessories
• PLATFORM, introducing a preview of work from new and emerging designers

As for the previous 10 shows, the forthcoming Sydney LIFE inSTYLE event will feature great design, original products, open stands, beautiful styling throughout and a relaxed environment for visitors to shop in.

 “The feedback that we receive indicates that LIFE inSTYLE is delivering a unique style of trade fair, unseen elsewhere in Australia and equal to some of the world’s most exclusive designer, gift and homeware trade shows, which is very satisfying to hear.  Demand for quality homeware and designer products is still strong and visitors to the LIFE inSTYLE trade events always leave our shows excited by what they have seen.” Event Director Thibaud Cau-Cecile said.

More than 80 new suppliers will feature in Sydney, with the total number of exhibitors on show reaching over 300.

PLATFORM is our curated design space for up and coming design professionals looking for entry level access to the retail market.  As the name “PLATFORM” suggests, this exhibition is intended to introduce and expose these young designers to the business opportunities that a trade fair can provide. 

This year, PLATFORM will spotlight the talents of 22 emerging designers showcasing their homewares, fashion accessories and designer objects at LIFE inSTYLE.  “We are really pleased by the level of interest that has been shown by new designers keen to exhibit with us at LIFE inSTYLE, it is very encouraging” Thibaud said.

LIFE inSTYLE also features the now renowned kids inSTYLE where the best in kid’s decoration, furniture and designer accessories can be sourced.

The next LIFE inSTYLE trade fair will be staged within the Hordern Pavilion and Royal Hall of Industries at the Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park, Sydney, 19-23 February 2009.

Times: Opening Thursday 1pm–9pm, Friday to Sunday, 9am-6pm, Monday 9am-2pm.
