Messe Frankfurt France’s trade shows dedicated to the fashion industry attracted 14,862 visitors. 213 people did not attend. After a 2018 show that was quite extraordinary, September 2019’s show recorded rather more consistent results, with positive overtones on the whole.
The Top 5 visitors remain unchanged in spite of economic pressure and the political situation: 1 - France, 2 - United Kingdom, 3 – Spain, 4 – Italy, 5 - Turkey
We would point out the increase in visitors attending from Poland (+11%), which attests to the important role played by this country in European sourcing. For those attending from countries outside Europe, footfall remained encouraging, with a return in force from Turkey (+17%), as well as from other major importer countries such as Morocco (+19%) from the African continent and, it goes without saying, China (+41%). United States (+1%), Canada (+14%) and Brazil (+15%) also attended this season’s show.
648 exhibitors with 17 different nationalities took part in this season’s shows for clothing production and fashion accessories. Apparel Sourcing Paris assembles, on the one hand, the largest international clothing producers, and Shawls&Scarves Paris, on the other hand, hosts designers of accessories that cover shoulders and heads.
