At the 34th edition of CPM – COLLECTION PREMIÈRE MOSCOW from 24-27 February 2020, around 1,300 brands from 30 countries will be showcasing their autumn/winter 2020/21 collections on the exhibition grounds of Moscow’s Expocentre. An average of 20,000 buyers from Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union use CPM as a valuable source of information and inspiration for doing business and placing orders.
“Due to the currently stagnating disposable income of its consumers, the Russian market is regarded as challenging – yet still lucrative. Its core appeal is still the prevailing mindset that fashion is a strong statement of people’s desire to convey a positive image in their working, leisure and social lives. At the 34th edition of CPM, professional buyers will be presented with a wide offer tailored specifically to them, without any decreases in space or exhibitor numbers: CPM stands for Collection, Premiere, Moscow – and a whole lot more!
Thomas Stenzel, Managing Director of OOO Messe Düsseldorf Moscow
At the beginning of the new decade, the biggest Eastern European ordering platform for the fashion industry, organised by Messe Düsseldorf Moscow in partnership with IGEDO Company and Messe Düsseldorf, is all about renewal and change. The extensive accompanying line-up of lectures and seminars shows ways in which market participants can continue to successfully hold their own when faced with current developments and challenges. With its various segments and areas, CPM covers the entire fashion spectrum and presents collections from ladies’, men’s and kidswear brands alongside lingerie, beach, sports and yogawear, shoes, accessories and fabrics.
“My team and I are proud to once again be attracting many international participants to CPM. The response from the companies shows that the Russian market is still vital to their turnovers. Our regular exhibitors and the many new additions are well prepared for taking part in the fair and looking forward to a successful ordering season and the opportunity to make new contacts. Visitors to CPM can once again look forward to an interesting, worth-attending tradeshow that is packed full of exciting highlights. By extending the country pavilions, like Denmark for example, we are preparing other business platforms for international brands.”
Christian Kasch, Project Director of CPM International
