The launch of ‘s’elections moscow 2020’ was announced when the Collection Première Moscow home, EXPOCENTRE, was transformed into emergency hospitals due to the COVID-19 crisis. The new took place between 16-19 September, offering 180 brands from 16 countries in the only trade show taking place in Russia this season.
Nikolay Yartsev, Director for the ‘s’elections moscow 2020’ project, said: “We managed to offer to the market a new concept of showroom galleries for brands from 16 countries who traditionally took part at the CPM. Besides, we were able to introduce new names in the fashion industry that had already received good reviews from retail. However, what is even more important is the number of buyers who came from a large number of Russian regions, from North Caucasus to the Far East. Judging by the reviews, the participants managed to meet with their permanent business partners and to get new contacts, and the visitors were able to place good orders for spring/summer season 2021.”
Elena Bugranova, President for the Russian Buyers Union, adds: “I truly admire the partners from “Messe Duesseldorf Moscow” who have managed to hold the first professional event for fashion brands and buyers since the isolation, to enhance it with a business program and to ensure maximum comfort for the participants and guests, which made possible effective work and communication.”
The CPM – Collection Premiere Moscow, the largest Russian & Eastern international trade fair for fashion, will return to Moscow from February 22nd until February 25th, 2021.
