Trying to Make the Capital of Brazil a Player in Fashion Overseas

The fashion industry of Brazilian capital, Brasília, has just established the Association of Fashion Exporters of the Federal District (AMODF). The organization includes 31 companies that make garments, accessories, appliqués and handicraft.

As most of the companies already export, the objective is to develop an efficient action strategy to win new clients. “We have brought together several brands and by association we plan to win more clients on the foreign market,” stated Fernando Japiassu, president of the AMODF.

According to him, the main actions of the group will be agreed on next week and should include the definition of participation in fairs in Europe, the United States and Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.

“We are going to analyze what events may be interesting to our associates. We are also going to seek support of organizations like the Apex (the Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency) to aid in the search for opportunities,” he said. Read more
