The October 2026 Apparel & Accessories Market runs October 20–23 at Dallas Market Center, and it’s your last chance this year to lock in Spring lines and shop immediate goods under one roof.
We asked three 15th-floor showrooms which brands they’re most excited for buyers to see. Their answers include premium denim made with less than 10 gallons of water, a Spanish label fresh off the Madrid runway, a Dallas-designed newcomer, and a lot more.
Linde Lee Inc. (WTC 15456)
Linde Lee’s showroom covers a lot of ground: contemporary sportswear, dresses, swim, footwear, and more. “It’s hard to choose,” Linde says. “We are excited to show all of our brands, but here’s a few we are especially looking forward to showing buyers.”
-
TKEES – Founded in 2009 by Carly and Jesse Burnett, TKEES built its name on barely-there flip-flops and sandals in skin-toned neutrals. The brand calls them “cosmetics for your feet.” Most styles are handcrafted in Brazil from soft leather, and the season-less approach means your customers can wear them all year.
-
Solid & Striped – This New York swim label launched in 2012 with a simple idea: luxury swimwear at a price that doesn’t sting. Expect retro-inspired bikinis and one-pieces, knit cover-ups, and the brand’s signature gingham, woven on Italian-milled fabric so the color holds up swim after swim. Solid & Striped also coined the term “après swim,” so stock up on the resort pieces too.
-
DL1961 – Family-owned since 2008, DL1961 puts sustainability at the center of premium denim. A typical pair of jeans takes about 1,500 gallons of water to make, but DL1961 uses less than 10 and recycles 98% of it. It was also the first denim brand to sign The Climate Pledge.
-
Born a Kennedy – New this October, the brand was founded in 2023 by Ryan Verhoeven. It’s American womenswear with a classic, Ivy-inspired look that's made in small batches.
D'Elementstyle (WTC 15933)
Owner Doris D’Angelo describes D'Elementstyle as a curation of global brands, from entry level to high-end designer. Her picks this season come from Spain, Germany, Colombia, and right here in Dallas.
-
Celia B – Designer Celia Bernardo founded her label in 2012 in Shanghai, where she lived for a decade, after working with brands like Zara and Pepe Jeans. The Spanish label is known for vibrant color, intricate knits, and bold prints inspired by her travels, from Rajasthan stripes to Indonesian batiks. Celia B showed its Spring/Summer 2027 collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, and it’s already sold in more than 250 stores worldwide.
-
Simone Bruns – New to D Element Style, this Hamburg luxury label is known for cashmere couture that pairs feminine luxury with a subtle ’70s edge.
-
The Hue Theory – Another newcomer, this one is designed in Dallas. Founder Meghna Deva, a Parsons-trained designer, creates elevated, resort-inspired womenswear with bold, artistic prints inspired by the Italian Riviera. Limited production runs keep it special.
-
Pamela Stevenson – Founded in 2015 in Barranquilla, Colombia, Pamela Stevenson’s luxury label is known for embroidery and mixed prints. Stevenson was named Colombia’s Designer of the Year in 2016.
