The multidisciplinary business program CPM allowed a large circle of specialists from different segments of the fashion industry to receive not only up-to-date information on topics of interest to them, but also to meet new experts in the field of design and production of clothing, retail and franchising, consulting and trend forecasting. All this became possible thanks to the work of the forum RFRF (Russian Fashion Retail Forum) with the participation of Fashion Consulting Group and PROfashion Consulting, the agency WGSN, as well as thanks to the buyer's program of the project Top Buyer Lounge from The Union of Russian Buyers and the magazine Buyer.
