COTERIE New York is more than the premier Women’s contemporary trade and industry event.

Level 3

How it Started

It all starts with New York. The birthplace of trends, a global hub for culture and fashion, and the home of COTERIE.

What started in the 80’s as an intimate gathering of 25 brands at the Plaza Hotel quickly grew into something else, something bigger. It grew into COTERIE- the merging point for the industry talents that create tomorrow, today.

With curation and connection at its core from the start, COTERIE now showcases over 1000+ brands, twice a year, to an international community of buyers, retailers, experts, influencers, media, and stylists. This is where relationships are built, trends are set and the most important industry shifts take place.

This is COTERIE.

Where it is Now

Today, COTERIE is more than a premier trade event. It’s a curated experience, one that connects the industry, sets the tone and shapes the future.

Immersive and impactful, COTERIE nurtures relationships in an informative and intimate manner. With New York as our base, we have a holistic overview of cultural and industry shifts — as they happen. Emerging and established brands alike know that COTERIE attracts an international crowd, open to the spirit of discovery that makes New York an epicenter of fashion.
