Approach ICON accounts once you have stockists and sell-through to show. Contact each store within its AW or SS outreach window, one email at a time, with images in the body of the email. Use the trade show column to request appointments during market weeks.
DATA FRESHNESS
Last reviewed: September 2026. Next review: March 2027.
The full database is reviewed every six months: store activity, buyer movement and category alignment. Buyer roles change often, and up to 10% of contacts may move between reviews. Extra contacts are included to allow for this. One updated list is included within your licence year, on request.
FORMAT AND DELIVERY
Formatted Excel file (.xlsx), sorted by tier, ready to filter. Delivered by instant download after payment, with the link also sent to your email. PDF on request. Invoice available on request at checkout.
LICENCE
Licensed to the business named at checkout for unlimited use for one year, including your in-house team. The list may not be shared, resold, merged into another database or used on behalf of clients. Agencies and showrooms need a separate licence for each client. Each file contains identifiable records that trace redistribution to the original order.
COMPLIANCE
For professional business-to-business outreach only. Send to each buyer individually, identify your brand clearly, include an opt-out, and honour any request not to be contacted. You are responsible for complying with the email marketing and data protection laws of each recipient's country, including the CAN-SPAM Act and the GDPR.
REFUNDS
Digital product delivered instantly: all sales are final once the download link is issued. If the link doesn't arrive, we resend it or refund in full. If the list doesn't match this description in a material way, email info@thefashionlists.com within 14 days and we'll correct it. Normal buyer movement of up to 10% is not a material inaccuracy.
