AREA STARS TO SHOWCASE FALL AND RESORT COLLECTIONS AT NY NOW

A unique selection of ready to wear, resort wear, handbags, jewelry and accessories to debut in the Personal Accessories Section (Booth 8610)

Preview the brand that fashion influencers such as Angie Landaburu, Jasmine Tosh Stewart and Jordan Underwood Washburn are wearing.

The design team behind AREA STARS takes its inspiration from travels around the globe, and interpreting modern and traditional elements into handmade ready to wear and accessories. The brand works with the most sought-after artisans and factories to ensure that each piece embodies a sense of personal luxury.

The duo behind the brand are industry veterans Scott Sussman and AJ Majumdar.

“One of the reasons we have had such a positive, and emotional response from buyers, is the fact that we keep each collection very tightly merchandised,” says Co-founder Scott Sussman.

Scott has an extensive background in product development of handbags and accessories, while AJ has spent much of his career focused on ready to wear. They have had executive roles at Saks Fifth Avenue, 7 for all Mankind, Ralph Lauren, Lord and Taylor, Botkier and Sperry. They also own a multi-line showroom in NY, Scout HK, where they help other developing and established brands grow their businesses. as f

Co-founder AJ Majumdar explains, “Scott and I have very different tastes, which actually helps the brand evolve each season. Because of my heritage, I am attracted to the more ornate designs, while Scott tempers that with his attraction to chic minimalism.”

AREA STARS is available at http://www.areastars.com and carefully selected luxury and national retailers such as Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Macy’s, Free People and Rent the Runway and the finest boutiques worldwide.
