NY Now Expands Emerging Designer Segment for Its Summer Market
Curated at Luxury Lifestyle will build on the former initiative, the Emerging Fine Jewelry Designer Incubator.
Brands in the Curated at Luxury Lifestyle segment will benefit from education sessions and one-on-one meetings with industry consultants Liz Kantner and Robin Kramer. Pictured here are the “Sun Goddess Supreme” ring and “Pyramid Rutilated Quartz” necklace by Sunlit Fine Jewelry, an exhibiting brand.
New York—NY Now, the biannual gift, home, and accessories wholesale tradeshow, has announced the launch of Curated at Luxury Lifestyle, a new segment in its Summer 2024 Market.
Curated at Luxury Lifestyle will showcase 16 emerging fine jewelry designers, with half exhibiting at NY Now for the first time and half returning.
The designers will exhibit at the Summer Market, which will be held Aug. 4-7 at the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan, New York.
The segment is formerly known as the Emerging Fine Jewelry Designer Incubator, which originally debuted at the Winter 2024 Market earlier this year.
“We are excited to build upon the momentum we established during our Winter Market to further amplify these exceptional voices and solidify Luxury Lifestyle as a destination that exudes refined elegance,” said Kim Mancuso Telford, general manager of NY Now.
“Luxury Lifestyle is a curated section of our event designed with our buyers’ needs in mind. The introduction of Curated exemplifies our commitment to discovering innovative talent and creating a seamless experience in a refined setting.”
Exhibiting brands in this segment will also be offered education sessions and one-on-one consultations with Liz Kantner and Robin Kramer, who spearheaded the EFJD Incubator program.
Kantner and Kramer are jewelry mentors and consultants with a combined 30-plus years of experience navigating the nuanced challenges that fine jewelry businesses face, said the organization.
They will give brands actionable advice and feedback.
“Curated at Luxury Lifestyle is tailored to brands that are on the cusp of greatness,” said Kantner and Kramer in a joint statement.
“We seek brands who possess both remarkable talent and a proven track record of business ability. While these brands are considered ‘emerging,’ they are already well on their way to success and remain eager for further professional development. They also embrace the strength of a collaborative community of fellow creatives.”
