“With our new location in the heart of the Marais, which is a favorite neighborhood for buyers and a fashion reference in terms of location, Tranoi will be a flagship destination for Paris Fashion Week,” smiles Boris Provost, the show’s CEO. This edition will be double the volume, going from about thirty brands (in previous years) to nearly seventy exhibitors including 18 British brands, thanks to the partnership with the London Show Rooms, marking its return to France post-pandemic.”
This men’s edition has been designed jointly with the Federation of Haute Couture and Fashion, the organizer of Fashion Week. The B2B event will also be digitalized thanks to the Live Stream, for buyers from the Chinese, Korean and Japanese markets unable to travel.
