Dear Retailers,

The Matrix Apparel Market, Axis of Fashion, is the Midwest's newest market. Our inaugural show in October, at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center was great success with over 300 exhibitors and 1,000 stores attending. This open booth show presents a diverse cross section of the hottest styles of men's, ladies and children's fashions, plus shoes and accessories. All for today's fashion conscious consumer. By containing many new and exciting brands the show provides an opportunity to purchase fresh merchandise that will differentiate your store from the competition.

Current economic conditions make it very difficult for retailers to leave their stores for extended buying trips. The Matrix's convenient location and show hours provides retailers the opportunity to accomplish a majority of their buying needs all under one roof. By popular request our shows are now 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM Tuesday and Wednesday with complimentary dinner being served to our retail customers, two per company, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM on these nights.

Encourage your suppliers to become part of The Matrix!

Come and entwine yourself in The Matrix and take advantage of this new opportunity to create the business you want.

Thank you,

The Chicago Men's Apparel Group
