Berlin Showroom as a part of the DACH showroom

As in previous years, the Berlin Showroom will again take place in Paris in 2021 together with Mode Suisse (Switzerland) and the Austrian Fashion Association (Austria) as a joint DACH showroom. 

Digital platform and flexible concept ensure the international order business

Since the corona pandemic has changed a lot of of things, the Berlin Showroom came up with a new concept. The concept can be flexibly adapted to the current situation, includes alternative backup plans and digital solutions. If the situation allows it the event will take place as usual, live in Paris. The participating labels will then present their spring / summer collections to international buyers at the Paris Fashion Week. For buyers who cannot come personally due to the pandemic restrictions, there will get presentations via the digital DACH showroom platform and online appointments. 

To ensure the international order market, the showroom audience has the opportunity to get in touch with the designers and view brand profiles digitally for the first time on a B2B sales platform specially developed for the showroom.

If the showroom cannot take place in Paris, all dates and presentations will be moved to the online platform.
