During the CPM seminar line-up, where producers, designers, distribution experts and buyers will be coming together, experts and keynote speakers will be providing market relevant facts, said a press release from CPM.

Creative fashion shows like the CPM Opening at the beginning of the tradeshow, the CPM Selected, mono-label catwalk shows by designers and ‘Mode in France’ will be showcasing selected brands from different segments and countries under the direction of Igedo fashion director Alexander Radermacher. One of the audience highlights is the ’Grand Défilé’ featuring internationally renowned body & beachwear brands and traditionally organised in cooperation with Lingerie magazine.

Within CPM Premium, CPM Body & Beach‚ CPM Accessories & Shoes‚ CPM Handmade and the CPM Kids’ Corner, a large bandwidth of the latest autumn/winter 2019/20 collections will be shown, ranging from men’s and womenswear as well as kidswear, lingerie and beach fashions and shoes, bags and accessories. A total of around 1,370 collections from around 30 countries are expected.

The 22nd edition of the Russian Fashion Retail Forum – RFRF will be starting on the second day of the tradeshow with the trend lecture by WGSN from London, the global market leader in trend forecasting. At the focus of the RFRF’s subject-specific business programme is also the topic of ‘Customer orientation and personalisation as key trends of the Russian fashion market in 2019’. Additional seminars and conferences will be providing further insights into key themes like the export and import of fabrics and components by companies like the Schneider Group, Trigon Select and Best Logistics.

“CPM is constantly responding to all market changes with growth and development and, at the same time, demonstrating stability to all players in the fashion industry in Russia and abroad. In February, an even wider range of exhibitors from Russia and the Customs Union awaits the visitors who use CPM as the most important platform for their business. The increased number of special projects also reflects the growing market demands on exhibitors and professional buyers. And the same applies to the growing exhibition areas representing the geographical expansion of exhibitors from new regions,” said Nikolay Yarzew, CPM’s Russian project director.

“Fortunately, the development of clothing exports from the 28 member states of the European Union to Russia have once again grown by 4 per cent to an impressive €1.84 billion. This positive growth trend of above-average export success shows just how much market potential the Russian fashion trade has for European brands, which can once again boost their standing – also at CPM – in a very targeted way,” said Thomas Stenzel, managing director, OOO Messe Düsseldorf Moscow.

“As a leading tradeshow, CPM is a must-attend event for the professional buyers from Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union,” says Christian Kasch, CPM’s project director international and member of the board. “For the upcoming CPM as the biggest and most important fashion fair for this region with the world’s largest surface area, we have therefore once again lined up a number of industry get-togethers and round tables with representatives from the international fashion industry.” (PC)
