Who´s Next International Fashion Show

From Thursday September 6th through Sunday September 9th, 2007, Paris Expo-Porte de Versailles/Hall 1 From womenswear designers to international fashion leading brands, from streetwear labels to ultra-hype denim collections, from trendy sneakers to glamorous court shoes, from young designers to ancestral know-how, WHO’S NEXT, together with PREMIERE CLASSE, the International Trade Show For Fashion Accessory Designers, will be offering, from Thursday 6th to Sunday 9th 2007, the most comprehensive and thorough fashion offer on the French trade show market, with a selection of 1,100 brands.

AN OBVIOUS COMPLEMENTARITY IN HALL 1
For its 26th edition, WHO’S NEXT is once again reunited with PREMIERE CLASSE in hall 1.
And that comes as great news for actors of both trade shows! That’s more space, with 48 000 sq. m. of gross surface, a 600 sq. m. terrace, a clear, dynamic and sensible product offer… So many factors that promote a good purchasing atmosphere.

THE CREATION AREAS
650 brands will be presenting their Spring/Summer 2008 collections via 5 complementary creation sectors: FAST, FACE, FRESH, FAME and PRIVATE. At the same time, PREMIERE CLASSE will be presenting a selection of 450 fashion accessory designers.
If volumes tend to grow bigger in FAST and FACE with long sweaters, overalls and large pants, FAME, PRIVATE and FRESH share common ideas: the return of feminity with nice basic elements, very graphic cuts and refined collections. You won’t miss the increasing number of unisex collections and of collections dedicated to men in these three universes.
