Exhibitors: For exhibitors at this session (up on last session, and from 15 countries), the challenge of showcasing products and services covering 3 specific seasons to meet the needs of regular and prospective clients paid off.
Out of a total of 136 exhibitors, 66 were French and 70 international. The number of exhibitors was up 20% on September 2010 and 35% on January 2011.
20 companies from the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region were among the exhibitors.
New to the show: a textile designers' area and a sourcing platform.
In an environment conducive to business and with a high-calibre visitor base, all exhibitors said that they'd had a satisfactory session. Exhibitors and visitors eagerly welcomed the show's new, earlier dates.
Show: We focused on improving the presentation and diversity of the products and services exhibited while at the same maintaining the show's profile image the general public and fashion professionals as a friendly, fashion-forward event. With a setting of luscious fabrics designed by Imaginers and the colour ranges showcased by Maisons de Mode and students from north European fashion schools (Esmod, Sévigné, Informa, St Luc), the winter 12/13 collection was a real “taste of colour”.
The students' tremendous originality, evident in their creations showcased at the exhibition entrance, showed visitors just how well trained young people are to meet the demands of their future employers. Maisons de Mode presented a huge canvas featuring street fashions in a vast mosaic depicting the looks that are typical of northern Europe's passion for fashion – a giant fashion mag to inspire the general public and fashion professionals alike.
Finally, making a creative connection between fashion and sustainable development, the designs presented in the “Heartwear” temporary boutique, with the spotlight on indigo, were a big hit.
With a well-balanced, theme-based selection of summer and winter trends, the FORUM satisfied visitors' appetite for new products and services, featuring 50 winter collections and 16 summer ranges for women, men, children and babies. (See attachment.)
The packed programme of talks hosted by three style consultancies – Peclers, Trend Union and Nelly Rodi – gave visitors to the show three unique insights into the major design trends of the coming seasons.
