Joor Announces Summer Passport Events, New European Partnerships

Joor announced that Joor Passport will continue to expand its presence this summer by exclusively powering 11 global fashion events, beginning with Veste Rio on May 24 in partnership with Vogue Brazil.

According to the digital wholesale platform, additional shows include Splash Paris, Cabana, Liberty Fairs, Premium/Seek and Brazilian Footwear. In addition to virtual trade shows with partners, Joor Passport will also continue to host Joor Marketplace events available 365 days a year, including Joor Showcase, featuring elevated contemporary brands; Destination Italy, featuring Italian brands and designers, and a new Joor event focused on accessories and jewelry.

Liberty Fairs and Cabana, both powered virtually by Joor for the past three seasons, will launch a hybrid physical event from July 10-12 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, the first in-person show for both exhibitions since the start of the pandemic. Joor will play an active role in the physical show to facilitate digital order taking on site and will again power the virtual show, extending the event’s time frame and geographic reach by providing access to buyers from around the world.

This will be the fourth season Joor has supported Liberty Fashion & Lifestyle Fairs digitally, helping more than 300 brands make over 8,100 new connections with retailers from over 100 countries around the world.

In addition, Joor has announced new partnerships with the U.K. Department for International Trade (DIT) and the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair (CIFF). In collaboration with the DIT, Joor will host two Passport events in 2021 highlighting British fashion brands and will co-host a series of webinars throughout the summer on key topics, including sustainability and digital wholesale best practices.

“Joor is and has always been an omnichannel platform,” Kristin Savilia, CEO of Joor, said. “We launched Joor Passport last year to support virtual shows and ensure business continuity for brands and retailers, and immediately saw strong adoption. We’ll continue supporting virtual shows in the future, and are also thrilled that brands and buyers are returning to the showroom where they place orders on Joor through our iPhone and iPad app.”

As shows begin to return to in-person, Joor expects continued strong participation in the virtual side, which extends for multiple weeks beyond the physical show.
