As the largest fashion event featuring the biggest and best assortment of brands, MAGIC remains the most influential event in fashion. In addition to presenting more than 3000 exhibitors this year, MAGIC will once again host its semi-annual MAGIC Seminar Series, featuring complimentary educational events and presentations from some of the most respected names in the industry.

This year's all-star seminar lineup kicks off Sunday, February 13 with a keynote panel discussion featuring Li & Fung USA President Richard Darling on how to survive, prosper and profit even in the face of the current business environment.

Keynote speakers Peter McGrath, President, McGrath International and Senior VP of Cotton Inc.'s Global Supply Chain Mark Messura are addressing one of the most timely issues in the fashion industry â?? the U.S. cotton supply shortage and volatile pricing. The pair will take an in-depth look at changes in successful sourcing and provide insights about how to deal with the concern over cotton prices and availability.

Tackling other such critical issues as design piracy and counterfeiting and their collective impacts on fashion are EVP of American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) and Deborah Graves, Secretary and General Counsel of True Religion Apparel Inc. The industry leaders will discuss the U.S. Senate's consideration of the bill and will address both the pros and cons of the bill affecting fashion designs and protection regarding apparel and ornamentation.
