The pavilions were filled with specialists, orders were actively formed at the stands and new business contacts were established. There was a positive mood on the whole site, which indicates that the Russian fashion market is gaining momentum. At the CPM stands, more than a thousand brands from 25 countries presented their collections of the autumn-winter 2017/18 season.

 

"I have been running the CPM project since the very first exhibition, but there have never been so many positive responses. We were literally overwhelmed by a lot of visitors. There were a large number of buyers on the site, fruitful work was going on from morning to evening," Christian Kasch, director of the CPM project, commented on the results of the exhibition. – I am happy to see so many satisfied faces again. Our project is still the No.1 exhibition in Eastern Europe, where orders are written," he concluded.

 

The opening ceremony of the 28th season of CPM was held by a well-known Russian politician, TV and radio presenter, as well as co-owner of the designer brand "HakaMa" Irina Hakamada. She noted for herself the brands Samos, Dan Maralex, the creative collaboration CSTN x Urban Grass, as well as the collection of the autumn-winter 2017/18 season from Victoria Andreyanova. 

After the grand opening, a summary screening was held with an overview of all CPM sections. The CPM Catwalk program, consisting of more than 20 screenings, attracted numerous visitors, there were almost no empty seats in the hall at all the catwalks.

 

 

As always, the event was accompanied by an extensive business program, which was very popular among visitors. As part of the two-day RFRF (Russian Fashion Retail Forum) forum, buyers received comprehensive information about the latest fashion trends and business trends.

 

A wide range of fashionable clothes was presented at the exhibition: women's, men's and children's fashion, underwear, leather and fur products, evening dresses, leisure clothes, and, of course, accessories. Particular attention was drawn to the relatively new CPM Handmade section, which presents handmade products. This creative block was organized for the third time, which allows us to count on further expansion of the exhibition space of the segment in the coming season. Orders were actively placed in the sections CPM Premium, Mode Lingerie & Swim Moscow, as well as CPM Accessories, premium brands from the CPM Kids section were particularly popular. The formation of not only a working, but also a warm, friendly atmosphere was facilitated by the location of several lounge areas in the pavilions for negotiations and recreation.

 

 

The past season has pleasantly surprised visitors and CPM exhibitors with a number of novelties. The organizers developed a convenient mobile application, thanks to which it was easy to find the right stand, schedule a meeting and not forget about attending an interesting show or seminar.

The next CPM–Collection Première Moscow exhibition will be held from August 30 to September 2, 2017 on the territory of the central exhibition complex «Expocentre» in Moscow. It is there that Russian and international fashion manufacturers will demonstrate their spring-summer 2018 collections.
