The High Point Market Style Spotters are gearing up for an active fall market, October 16-20, with the return of in-person programming and the celebration of the program’s tenth anniversary.
The full team of 2021 Style Spotters will be in High Point to act as the industry’s trend-setting guides, scouring the market’s buildings and showrooms to highlight the top new styles this fall. They will begin early, spotting 25 favorite products each, then adding their selections to curated digital galleries on the Style Spotters hub page, www.highpointmarket.org/products-and-trends/style-spotters.
Their selections will go live mid-market, but sneak peeks can usually be found on social media before then and tent cards will begin to appear alongside spotted product within showrooms as early as Friday, Oct. 15. An advanced preview highlighting a few picks the team members are excited to see at fall market is available at www.highpointmarket.org/products-and-trends/ss-fall-2021-preview.
Showrooms tours will be offered by the 8 team members Saturday through Tuesday of market. Rebranded as Hot Spot Tours, each Style Spotter will host a 60-minute tour through two of their favorite High Point showrooms. Advanced registration is required, as capacity is limited.
