“We’ve had such a great response over the years and the suites have grown both in number of categories
and number of vendors. We needed a new space to accommodate this exciting expansion and HD
Buttercup could not be a more ideal location.”

 “It was fantastic! The Design Suites gave me a chance to show my line to editors, buyers and stylists in
  an environment where I was able to present my collection to the right people in the fashion community
                                         looking for new things.”
