New fair segments will present a higher quality and extended fashion range thus showing the specialist trade a comprehensive spectrum of information. Menswear will retain its place in the numerous showrooms in the city and therefore remain a key location factor for the trade.
“In summer the CPD will be presented for the first time with a clearly more modern structure – visually and in particular in terms of contents”, explains Mirjam Dietz, Executive Director Fashion at the Igedo Company. “With our concept we will take account of the specialist trade’s constantly growing need for information. We will be a reliable trend scout for the sector in that we show the trade at CPD many exciting and fresh collections.
In July we will experience a very emotional CPD with a powerful communication range. We have many ideas and the sector can eagerly look forward to them.” Philipp Kronen, Managing Partner Igedo Company, goes on to add: “With the restructuring of CPD we are embarking on a new, long-overdue and no doubt the only correct path. With the clear concentration on womenswear and the corresponding distinct profile, we can once again clearly position ourselves much more effectively on the market.
The July fair only represents the first milestone here. The whole process will extend across several seasons. We are, however, absolutely convinced that our new range will be accepted by the market and thus also be ultimately successful.”
