PGA Cancels August Trade Show in Las Vegas

Count PGA as the latest trade show to cancel as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
On Wednesday afternoon, the organization said it will forego the PGA Fashion & Demo Experience, scheduled for Aug. 18 and 19 at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, and will instead “facilitate business connections through a series of digital programs” starting in June and continuing throughout the year. Plans for its larger PGA Merchandise Show, slated for Jan. 26 to 29, 2021 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, are still on track, the PGA said.
“Our top priority is to ensure the health and safety of the golf community at PGA Show events. We are simultaneously steadfast in our dedication to help support the golf industry right now,” said PGA Golf Exhibitions event vice president Marc Simon. “In partnership with the PGA of America, we will introduce details soon regarding a number of virtual and digital options to help connect and reengage the golf industry, and support PGA Professionals, attendees, exhibitors and associations.”
“We are thankful to the PGA of America and industry partners for providing key insights and guidance, as well as to the Southwest PGA Section and the Venetian for their ongoing support,”

‘Assassin’s Creed’ and Tom Clancy’s ‘Rainbow Six Siege’ to Develop Licensed Goods in Asia and Europe

ON TARGET: Gamers will be able to take their addiction of “Assassin’s Creed” and Tom Clancy’s “Rainbow Six Siege” to a new degree, since signature apparel and other categories are on the horizon for Europe and Asia.
As an indicator of e-sports’ increasing popularity, Ubisoft, a creator, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment and services, has signed a deal with IMG to be the first exclusive licensing agency for both game franchises in Europe and Asia.
The lack of any major, minor or collegiate sports events has only accelerated interest in e-sports.
“Assassin’s Creed” has more than 100 million unique players due partially to the releases of 16 games over the past 10 years. With a healthy licensing program, the brand aims to expand into new regions and categories.
Tom Clancy’s “Rainbow Six Siege,” an online tactical shooter video game, has 55 million players around the globe and 145 million hours of e-sports content watched since the first “Rainbow Six Pro League” debuted four years ago. International events have helped to bolster viewership and engagement.
In addition to apparel, both game franchises are planning to develop licensed consumer goods for tech items, accessories, toys, home decor, stationery and experiences. IMG plans to leverage its strengths

Le Bon Marché Goes Hippie Chic With Color Theme

RAINBOW BET: Retailers are embracing well-being trends — meant as an antidote to the coronavirus gloom — including Le Bon Marché, which plans to work a color theme with a hippie chic bent across the store starting May 16. The tony, Left Bank institution will offer tie-dye hoodies, T-shirts and bathing suits, as well as earrings — and sneakers — with a dream-catcher motif.
Channeling the original, hippie spirit, the product mix will be eclectic, but sleeker, and more modern, naturally, geared toward fashion-conscious Parisians.
Loewe’s tie-up with the fabled Paula’s Ibiza will figure prominently, with a large space on the third floor, offering clothing and accessories for men and women, while Antik Batik will draw on Mongolian vibes and Farm Rio will attempt to capture the feel of a Brazilian beach.
Jérôme Dreyfuss is selling a colorful, fringed handbag while Isabel Marant is offering feathered earrings. Aurélie Bidermann and Sylvia Toledano are two other fine jewelry labels taking part, while on the higher end, Bulgari and Tasaki are focusing on color. In the dream-catcher department, Notify offers an embroidered jean jacket or sneakers.
The department store’s food hall next door, La Grande Epicerie, will also take part, offering Bloom energy balls and Les Fleurs

This month, many states will start easing stay-at-home restrictions set because of the coronavirus pandemic, permitting businesses nationwide to begin reopening their doors.
Fashion retailers have been heavily impacted by the pandemic, which has forced many to shutter their doors, furlough their staffs or reduce operations. Several companies, including J. Crew and Neiman Marcus, have filed for bankruptcy due in part to the virus.

Check back on this post, as it will be updated as news develops.
