In our press release, we hear from two industry thought leaders, including our CEO, Kristin Savilia. 

“Despite the disruption experienced in the industry last year, virtual shows saw strong acceptance and were met with great success,” said Kristin Savilia, CEO of JOOR. “This year, JOOR Passport will continue moving fashion commerce forward with the advantage of advance planning. While we absolutely believe in-person shows will return, we also know that digital engagement is here to stay.”

Additionally, Gemma Juviler from the British Fashion Council weighed in. 

“Virtual trade shows are keeping the fashion industry running, plain and simple,” said Gemma Juviler, Commercial Director of British Fashion Council. “Thanks to JOOR Passport, we’re looking forward to a strong season. Our partnership with JOOR has allowed us to strengthen our designers' position in the global market in some very challenging times.”

It comes as no surprise that virtual fashion shows gained significant traction in 2020, with growing engagement from brands and buyers. In the past year, JOOR has hosted 17 global events on JOOR Passport, attracting more than 139,000 visitors from 129 countries. From the brand side, 1628 brands participated in a JOOR Passport event, with more than 500,000 items sold.

JOOR looks forward to powering these shows, and many more in the future!
