Hikmet Tanriverdi emphasized that cpi and Ðstanbul Fashion Week will attract global attention to Turkey and that it is their faith in the industry's power of knowledge, design and production which encouraged them to make such bold decisions.

We are proud of our brand power
“We have always been excited to see 'Made in Turkey' tags on international brands, which indicates our production power but we are not that much affected by it any more, because today we are happy to have a brand power along with it. This is because we live in an unprecedented age today. Turkish brands have nearly 2000 stores in around 70 countries all around the globe. As our entrepreneurs sell their lines, they contribute to the power of Turkey as a brand, too. On another note, the world's top 40 purchasing groups that buy a minimum of 7-8 million USD worth of ready wear from Turkey each year will come to Istanbul for a conference next week and they are counting days to meet out manufacturers and suppliers. And now two big events entering international fair and fashion calendar and making an impression all around the world are crowning our achievement. Collection and design oriented Turkish prêt a porter sector will enter a new phase with cpi.

ÐHKÐB Chairman Hikmet Tanriverdi remarked that cpi will boost the power of Turkish textile and fashion industry's competitive power with this distinguished fair positioned also to have commercial outcomes although it runs parallel with a concept of show. He summarized their goals as taking Istanbul to the first five in global fashion industry and stated that they have the background, courage and faith required to accomplish this goal.

We already see the signs that cpi will be a great success. We are very pleased that distinguished European brands make their application for participation in cpi. We are surethat the distinguished Turkish brands who wish to become one of the world's reputable brands and to exhibit their own collections to the top quality visitors of the event feel the same enthusiasm.”
