The fashion industry — from wholesalers to retail buyers — will be flocking to the Las Vegas Convention Center on Monday for the start of MAGIC Las Vegas, the biannual trade show.
The convention, operated by Informa Markets, runs through Wednesday and features men’s and women’s brands across sectors such as apparel, footwear, accessories, home, gift and beauty. Meanwhile, the adjacent show for manufacturers and suppliers, SOURCING at MAGIC, starts a day earlier, on Sunday.
While organizers declined to share attendance figures, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority has estimated before the pandemic that about 78,000 people visit MAGIC.
Kelly Helfman, president of Informa Markets Fashion, said it’s exciting to be back for a second time in Las Vegas since pausing in-person meetings in 2020, adding that the first in-person MAGIC Las Vegas show was in August.
“I couldn’t believe the outcome in August,” Helfman said. “I think the industry was so excited to get back to shows. It’s so important to touch and feel the fabric and see the quality and craftsmanship in person — there’s nothing like it. And so when we brought the community together last time in Vegas it was just this major rush … and I think we’re going to continue building on that momentum, and our registration numbers show it.”
MAGIC also will be one of the first trade shows in Las Vegas since Gov. Steve Sisolak lifted the state’s mask mandate Thursday.
Helfman said the company is not requiring masks for attendees but will encourage visitors to wear them. It will also continue with other COVID-19 safety measures such as making sure the show floor promotes social distancing, regular cleaning and setting up hand sanitizer stations.
The show kicks off with a keynote Monday morning on the evolution of fashion by speakers Elaine Welteroth, a judge on Bravo’s reality show “Project Runway” and former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue, and Dapper Dan, known for his ’80s streetwear fashion and for outfitting performers such as Aaliyah, LL Cool J, Jay-Z and Beyonce.
A performance by hip-hop group Salt-N-Pepa is scheduled for Monday night. There will also be a performance next week from rapper Tyga and an appearance by “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” cast member Melissa Gorga, who Helfman said has been attending MAGIC for years to purchase apparel for her boutique Envy by Melissa Gorga.
Helfman declined to disclose the number of exhibitors this year but said there will be plenty of brands and retailers, including Steve Madden, Free People, Polo Ralph Lauren, ASOS and Urban Outfitters.
This year’s show will also include the return of Informa Markets Fashion for Change, a recently launched incubator program that supports and showcases minority-owned, women-owned and LGBTQIA-owned fashion brands. The 2022 class includes 10 brands that will be exhibiting at MAGIC, such as New York City-based dual-gender clothing line Carlton Jones and men’s grooming brand XOG Skincare.
“The fashion retail sector has really gone through a lot, especially during the pandemic,” Helfman said. “Some industries benefited from it but definitely retail was one that took a big hit, and so it’s so great to be back together. Business is strong and consumers are buying and shopping.”

Reviews for "Korean Actors and the Witch Series: A Match Made in Heaven"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really excited to see a Korean adaptation of the witch series, but I found it extremely disappointing. The acting was subpar, with stiff performances and little chemistry between the cast members. The storyline felt rushed and poorly developed, leaving me confused and uninvested in the characters' fates. The production quality was also lacking, with cheap-looking sets and outdated special effects. Overall, I would not recommend this series to fans of the original or anyone looking for a well-executed supernatural drama.
2. Mark - 1 star - I couldn't even make it through the first episode of the Korean cast of the witch series. The dialogue was cringe-worthy and the plot made no sense. The characters were one-dimensional, with predictable motives and actions. The CGI effects were laughably bad. It's a shame because I was really hoping for an engaging and visually stunning adaptation, but this series fell far short of my expectations. Save your time and watch the original version instead.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - As a fan of the witch series, I was excited about the Korean cast adaptation, but I was left feeling underwhelmed. The actors lacked the depth and charisma of the original cast, making it difficult to connect with their performances. The pacing was off, with the story dragging in some parts and rushing through others. The cultural elements added to the plot felt forced and out of place. Despite some beautiful cinematography, this series failed to capture the magic of the original and left me wanting more.
