Tranoï : The Future’s Fashion is here!

If you wish to see the heart and soul of fashion, go to their trade shows! Whether you are any designer, private label owner, a seasoned fashionista, or just a regular trend follower, attending trade shows is a rewarding opportunity to know fashion and its business very well. Because aside from the clothes and the wonderful pieces of art accessories, trade shows will showcase more than boutique racks and fashions shows. There, you’ll meet the creators and the future fashion influencers of today’s generation. Not only that, trade fairs are also great platforms to build new connections, keep abreast with the industry’s latest trends, play a spy on your competitor’s activities, promote your business in a cost-effective way, and of course, keep your name alive in the industry.

In Paris where fashion hegemony is evident, an influential fashion tradeshow called Tranoï has been making waves for more than two decades now by recognizing young but superior creative designers and artists.

Founded in 1993, the Tranoï tradeshow was formed to deliver premium brands and designers under one roof. After Michael Hadida’s takeover in 2003 as the new General Manager of the show, Tranoï experienced a big leap higher as the leading fashion fair trade in Paris because of his extensive industry knowledge and professional network.

From a pure women’s event in 2003 with one venue and 65 exhibitors, it expanded shows for men and eventually became the crème dele crème of the world’s fashion artists achieving what it is now “a not to be missed date in the Paris Fashion Week calendar”.  With more than 1000 designers in 2011 who presented their collections in Tranoi’s three exclusive venues all over Paris, it’s no doubt it’s an empire that is no lightweight.

Today, Tranoï is “the” event to follow for international designers, buyers, fashion press and the fashion interested public. More than a commercial gathering, Tranoï – in Italian which means “between us” – is an artistic platform with a tight selection of more than 1000 premium designers from all over the world, created for them to meet the most influential fashion ambassadors. This selection makes the trade show what it is: a valuable source of truly different, international creativity, high-quality and outstanding talent.

High-end designers from all directions of fashion make up the heart of Tranoi’s business. And while we see the point that the fashion industry gets dominated by the west, there’s a gamut of noticeable and flourishing talents now who have penetrated this tradeshow over the past years. Over the years, we’ve noticed a bunch promising brands that are actually made by Asian designers looking to make inroads in the lucrative U.S. fashion market.

Checkout this quick rundown of last year’s Tranoi Femme spotlighting Asian Designers:
