(PRESS RELEASE) LAS VEGAS, NV — High energy and excitement were defining characteristics of COUTURE 2025’s opening day. Retailers, press and industry influencers marveled at the global representation of exceptional design on display. The salons and ballrooms were bustling with action, and impromptu, joy filled reunions occurred throughout the day in the aisles and bespoke lounges.
“It’s always such a delight to come back together as a community at Wynn Las Vegas,” noted Gannon Brousseau, COUTURE Director and EVP, Emerald. “To see all of the hard work and dedication everyone has put into their collections come to fruition is so rewarding. Our retail and media partners are always so thrilled to meet with their brands in person, see their most recent collections and discover the artistry of new designers; it’s great to be back.”
“We’ve had a fantastic show so far, and it’s only day one,” enthused Jennifer Shanker, owner of MUSE Showroom, who is representing eight brands at COUTURE. “All of our designers have such strong presentations, and the retailers we’re meeting with have been incredibly receptive. I also find it so interesting that multiple of my designers are using orange, and I’m seeing orange throughout the show floor, so I think we’re spotting a new trend!”
“I am thrilled with our first day,” said designer Jade Trau. “We’ve already had so many appointments, they’re all showing up ready to place orders, and they’re telling us that their businesses are strong, which is great to hear.”
“We are so happy we’re here,” Maya Frodeman from No. 62 in Jackson, Wyoming exclaimed. “It’s so important to see all of the faces of the designers who are so passionate about what they do come together in one place, it really is so powerful. We love COUTURE!”
“It’s been a great day, we’ve already covered a lot of territory,” said Amie Guarino of Louis Anthony Jewelers in Pittsburgh, PA. “We’re connecting with our long-standing partners and nurturing those relationships, while also discovering new brands for the store and we’re so excited about everything we’re seeing.”
