Playtime New York launched in 2010 and quickly established itself as the major event for the kid’s fashion and lifestyle industry in the United States.
In August 2021, the Playtime family grew to include Kid’s Hub, a selection of brands targeted to the broader U.S. market.
By bringing these two complementary sectors of the children’s market together, Playtime & Kid’s Hub New York has swiftly become the must-attend event for the entire kid’s fashion industry. Offering a curated blend of independent designers and well-established international labels, this show is the destination for buyers and press searching for creativity, a wide variety of styles and categories, and endless discoveries.
Add in the seminars that are unique to the show, and Playtime & Kid’s Hub New York is the perfect place to spend the Summer!
