Frédéric Maus, new co-general director of parent company WSN Developpement, wants to expand the event’s arsenal of services throughout the year.

The Paris fashion trade show seeks larger crowds this year as it offers a fuller schedule of conferences and workshops.

Traffic at the sprawling four-day event, held at Paris’ Porte de Versailles, was down.

Price points at the Paris trade show’s recent edition were top on many a buyer’s agenda, with budgets largely flat on-season and ambitions measured.

The trade shows sported a modern venue while vendors showed Seventies boho, androgynous looks, furs, checks and knits.

The Paris fashion trade show is getting a makeover in 2015, coinciding with its 20th anniversary.

Buyers will now have access to four European fairs with a single badge.
