Over 21,000 visitors attend Collection Première Moscow

Over 21,000 visitors attended the 27th edition of CPM – Collection Première Moscow, which was held from August 31 to September 3, 2016, which saw participation from 990 brands. The highlight of the fashion trade show was the ‘Handmade in Russia’ zone at the centre of the Premium Hall, which attracted attention of several thousand visitors to the fair.

According to the organisers, all stands were busy and optimism could be felt everywhere, showing that in Russia and the rest of Eastern Europe, fashion and lifestyle continue to be in great demand.

Exhibitors from Turkey returned to the show through a country pavilion after a one-season absence, who however, signalled that they would double their exhibition space at the spring 2017 event.

“Because we are always breaking new ground here, this time, we succeeded in bringing back trade visitors, who had not attended CPM in a long time,” project director Christian Kasch said.

“Even major distribution agencies are returning to the market with new portfolios and capitalising on the inspiration and dynamism of our event,” he added.

The next CPM – Collections Première Moscow will be held from February 20-23, 2017, which will see both national and international manufacturers showcasing their 2017/18 Autumn/Winter collections.
