Trade shows have never been sexy, but UBM Fashion's Coterie is aiming to at least remain relevant amidst an uncertain wholesale market though buzzy, high-tech activations.

The show, which typically draws contemporary designer labels, will boast a 5,000 square foot installation separated into stylistically themed vignettes, including "pop" and "minimalism," brought further to life using augmented reality.
