Industry

In the ever-evolving fashion industry, success isn’t just about making connections—it’s about building a quality B2B network with reliable, strategic partners. A strong network not only increases visibility but also establishes long-term trust with buyers and partners who align with your ambitions.

Investing in your B2B network is about choosing quality over quantity. It involves selecting the right tools and platforms to structure your operations and strengthen your presence.

The Role of B2B Platforms

Having a dedicated digital B2B platform like LE NEW BLACK enables brands to structure their professional presence and showcase their collections to a qualified audience of buyers. These platforms simplify access to essential information and streamline commercial exchanges, by providing spaces tailored to the presentation of collections.

A B2B platform serves as a digital showcase, accessible 24/7 and designed to streamline commercial interactions. It enables brands to centralise the presentation of their collections and simplify exchanges, while providing an optimised framework for buyers.

Additionally, platforms that include a marketplace, like the one provided by LE NEW BLACK, offer a valuable tool for enhancing overall visibility and fostering meaningful connections. By offering structured and international access, these marketplaces position brands in environments where opportunities and growth thrive.

Boosting Visibility Through Digital Ecosystems

Beyond B2B order-taking platforms, digital ecosystems like Moddity play a critical role in expanding a brand’s reach. By curating industry news, sales campaigns, and specialised resources, these platforms provide enhanced visibility to a diverse audience of fashion professionals, including buyers, agents, and distributors.

Being featured on a visibility network like Moddity.com, such as by listing a digital showroom hosted on a platform like LE NEW BLACK, strengthens a brand’s presence in spaces where buyers actively explore new trends and commercial opportunities. This enables brands to position themselves in environments where they can enhance their credibility and establish strategic professional relationships.

Xavier Latapie, Co-founder of Moddity, explains: "Moddity was born from the desire to offer designers a flexible communication platform that allows them to create real connections. Whether for established brands or emerging designers, Moddity showcases all of their initiatives and targets the distribution of information to an audience made up not only of buyers but also of communication professionals and potential partners."

The Winning Formula

Taking a combined approach—using a B2B platform to structure operations and a visibility network to amplify reach—enables brands to navigate a competitive landscape more effectively. By integrating these tools into their strategy, brands increase their chances of being present where opportunities emerge, while fostering strong and lasting professional relationships. This proactive approach supports not only immediate growth but also the development of a sustainable reputation within the industry.

Giulietta Canu, Co-Founder of Moddity, highlights: "We have chosen a human-centred platform where our teams maintain close relationships with all our partners to offer them a tailored service. Dialogue, shared values, and proximity are particularly important for us, values that we share with LE NEW BLACK. In an ultra-digitalised world where performance is sometimes only measured by the number of clicks or 'followers,' the Moddity network generates real connections and collaborations that endure over time."
