New version of the Trends Forum:
For the first time, Eurovet is offering a veritable exercise in style created by two design agencies who have been asked to translate two trends from the Evolution Trends Book. Nelly Rodi will interpret Baroque Obsession while Promostyl provides its take on Bio-Glamour.

Trends for Autumn/Winter 2009/10:
• Bio-glamour (cocooning chic),
• Baroque Decadence (seduction with a twist),
• Contemporary Obsession (the aesthetics culture).

The Franchise Focus has been reinforced and developed for 2009
The programme includes:
• Meetings with brands seeking to develop their retail networks, in the form of a “Market-specific Tour”,
• Dedicated conferences offering an overview and insight into this retail channel,
• A zone featuring French and international franchise expertise, coordinated by Ac-Franchise (FRANCE), l'Observatoire de la Franchise (FRANCE), Deloshop (RUSSIA) and AZ Franchising (ITALY).

20 conferences over 4 days. Each day covers a particular theme:
Sunday 18th January: The “Best-ofs” (the season's most talented young designers, top fabrics, etc.)
Monday 19th January: Retail Focus (Retailers of the year: a Europe-wide tour of those who are ringing the changes in store, Why opt for Franchising and how does it work?)
