Fashion shows – Trends for Autumn/Winter 2019/2020 At 11:00 am, 1:00 pm, 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm on each day – Fashion Lifestyle Corner, catwalk in the ‘Kaltstahlhalle’ Following the successful establishment of the Fashion Lifestyle Corner with its own catwalk, for the second time in a row several shows will be taking place with main partner Marc Cain in the ‘Kaltstahlhalle’.

“The starting conditions for the new ordering season – specifically the increases in excise duties and import regulations – weren’t exactly encouraging in the run-up to CPM. But as expected, Russia’s passion for fashion continues unabated. The quality of the visitors was once again extremely high: with packed halls and satisfied exhibitors, CPM remains the No. 1 ordering platform. Leading the way among the European exhibitors, for example, was Spain, which had a significant increase in its number of exhibitors. And of course also Italy, Germany and Turkey, the strong nations at CPM, also impressed retailers with their top sellers. There was also a buoyant mood among Russian brands, which are performing well domestically and going from strength to strength on the export market. All in all, there is a positive atmosphere, which is built on the foundations of stability and continuity. The Russian market has succeeded in retaining its appeal and is constantly reasserting its huge potential.”

Satisfaction rules among the 322 exhibitors SIMAC TANNING TECH 2019 ended against the prevailing trend of the current international economic context. The large visitor turnout matched the record levels of February 2018, before the signs of the slowdown that characterised the second half of last year started to appear. And all had very clear ideas on the machinery and technology they wanted to see.
