CPD Düsseldorf from 4 to 6 February 2007
International Platform and Inspiration for Womenswear
From 4 to 6 February 2007 CPD Düsseldorf will open its doors for the 2007/08 Autumn/Winter order cycle under the umbrella of the Igedo Fashion Fairs Düsseldorf. Boasting 1,120 exhibitors this international platform for womenswear has further consolidated its number of participants thereby underpinning its function as the communication platform decisive for triggering orders. This means CPD underlines its importance as the central trade fair at the central dates where the representatives from trade and industry take their final decisions on the current
cycle of orders. Düsseldorf is a “must-go” fashion destination for everyone ready for the latest developments and structural changes in the apparel industry, for those looking for keener competition in the wake of globalisation and prepared to respond to innovations in a flexible manner. Apart from comparing trends in an international context, exhibitors are particularly keen to use the opportunities for expanding exports. CPD allows them to penetrate and develop new markets and stress their USPs in terms of quality, price and services through in-depth
communication. The “accelerated momentum” in the fashion business makes CPD in Düsseldorf an indispensable international meeting point for the industry. Buyers will find a target-group specific segmentation of ranges, a selection based on quality as well as homogeneous fashion supplier neighbourhoods.
