Top apparel products and decorated clothing take center stage in apparel industry resource
TREVOSE, PA – September 10, 2013 – Wearables® magazine puts top apparel products and decorated clothing front and center in a bold redesign unveiled this week in the award-winning publication’s biggest issue of the year: the annual style and fall fashion preview.
Wearables, published 10 times a year by the Advertising Specialty Institute® (ASI), is the $19.4 billion promotional products industry’s go-to print and online resource for apparel, accessories and sales strategies. According to ASI research, 90% of readers polled cite Wearables as their best source for apparel information.
Highlights of the new Wearables magazine include:
“We listened to our readers, and after months of research and design, a stellar team headed by art director Hillary Haught, photographer Mark Pricskett and senior designer Glen Karpowich delivered a more sophisticated magazine just in time for a splashy debut in our biggest issue of the year,” said Wearables Editor C.J. Mittica. “The driving force behind this brash new look is to provide an even bigger showcase for the dozens of industry products we feature each issue. At the same time, I’m sure long-time readers and newcomers alike will be pleased by our continued commitment to and passion for in-depth content on apparel, decoration and business – everything making an impact in the world of wearables today.”
The fall preview issue includes a six-page high fashion shoot, a feature on trend-setting designers, round four of a year-long competition for 2013’s top decorator and a how-to on creating a vintage screen-print.
The 2013 National Azbee Awards of Excellence recently named Wearables a Top 10 Magazine of the Year along with honoring it for graphics and editorial content. Wearables was also a 2013 Jesse H. Neal Award finalist for Best Single Article for “Passing the Test,” an investigation into whether garments from industry suppliers and retail brands lived up to their performance property claims, and for Best Subject-Related Package for “Made in America,” an examination of the root causes allowing domestic apparel manufacturers to thrive here at home.
