NY NOW Winter Market 2022 at the Jacob Javits Center

NY NOW, held twice a year, February and August, brings together brands, designers, press, and qualified buyers to connect and discover a world of inspiration. The 2022 Winter Market was held on February 6-9, 2022, at the Javits Center NYC. The Show, divided into eight sections, Beauty+Wellness, Home Design+Tabletop, Baby+Child, Gift+Stationary, Luxury Lifestyle, Accessories, Accent on Design, and Accessories was held on the Main Floor.  Covid protocols were in place with attendees instructed to fully comply with applicable CDC, state, and local health official guidelines relating to COVID-19 and all current health and safety measures and protocols. While there was no vaccine mandate, signs were posted at the entrances to mask up or depart.

The pandemic had the show scaled-down and was on one floor. With fewer international brands exhibiting in the Beauty+Wellness most were based in the USA. There were a few brands from prior shows and a good number of brands that launched during COVID. International travel restrictions still have kept many fragrance brands and distributors from exhibiting.  One thing I noted is that CBD being fairly integrated across the board in many products is not so buzzy. Most if not all of the brands products here are a combination of being all-natural, gluten-free, dermatologically tested, ethically sourced, paraben-free, latex-free, non-GMO, cruelty-free, no additives, no fillers, non-toxic, phthalate-free, and vegan.
