Posted on August 25, 2010 by ksantry

The Atlanta Apparel August Market featuring the Nation’s Largest Prom Market is set to swing open the doors tomorrow for the official start, but the prom floors are already buzzing. It is apparent as you walk the floor on 10 that business has already started, with fashion shows, meetings, modeling and papers flying. Showrooms are open and ready to welcome all buyers.

The excitement of the largest prom market began earlier this week with the arrival of the “prom books,” which brought dozens of special occasion buyers from around the globe. The energy they came to Market with is only going to increase as the weekend nears and more buyers arrive and all temporary booths and showrooms open. This is one Market you don’t want to miss!

More information about Market and all the chic fashion shows and events can be found here.
