...fairs visitors can also look forward to offers from a wide range of foreign exhibitors and several interesting newcomers. Barencadi will present their fashion accessories for the first time at the Brno fairs and the Hungarian company Campi Textile will arrive to promote their brand of daywear, nightwear and swimwear Lagoon Lingerie.

You should pay special attention to newcomers from distant countries: nine Vietnamese companies offering ready-to-wear clothes, fashion for children and youth and also home furnishing fabrics will arrive thanks to the support of the Hanoi’s Department of Industry and Trade.

Another interesting feature is trade-fair comebacks after a long time. For the first time since 2015, the company K.eva – Eva Kadeřábková – will come to present her knitwear, youth fashion and men’s and women’s ready-to-wear clothes. After an even longer break, the trade fairs will see the Slovak supplier of shirts and coats MICHEL – last time they participated in fashion fairs was in 2009.

The pillars of the STYL fair are traditional exhibitors who participate on regular basis and they always meet their clients twice a year in Hall P. And this August, these participants traditionally include companies such as Anita Moravia, H&D, Jopess fashion, Libor Koller, Manfred Hegler, Perab – Radek Kabrhel, Pleas, PM - styl, T E X A R T or Urban Group. Numerous rivals will clash their forces in the Men’s Shirts segment, where companies as AMJ Trade, Arikos, Casamoda, R.G.I. Plus or also Marco Moralli, coming back after four years of absence. If what you are looking for is headwear, there will be a wide range to choose from: hats and caps presented e.g. by companies ANYTRA, Karpet, CAPU, Pletex or RDX. The Lingerie section in Hall P will get an entirely new disposition, presenting companies such as Calvi, Donet, Lamido, Lisca Moda, Prako Kyjov, V.style CZ, Vestis line, Werso and many more.

The KABO fair is the most prestigious expert and contractual exhibition of the production of both Czech and foreign manufacturers of footwear, leatherware and accessories in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This status is also confirmed by the upcoming run where all traditional and major exhibitors have already registered to participate. As a result, visitors may come to Hall F and check out new footwear collections from companies and brands such as Ara, Caprice, Gabor, Geneze,  Högl, František Hujo, Lanson Praha, JG Shoes, Legero, Protetika, Rieker, Term, V + J obuv, Wendel, Wortmann and others.

There is also a Czech newcomer – a supplier of footwear and haberdashery components and parts Kairo plus cz, footwear exhibitors Dalibor Kubík and Topshelf, the SES company with their offer of bags and handbags and the company Shopen Group introducing German baggage brands Titan and Travelite.

We also have good news for all fashion fans: in August, Brno will hold the only Czech trend seminar in cooperation with a renowned foreign expert! The February seminar with Ellen Haeser from the Netherlands proved to be a huge success with merchandisers, that is why the organizers  reissued their invitation and the renowned expert with more than 30 years of experience with trend creation and textile-materials development will arrive to the Exhibition Centre in August as well. Ellen Haeser’s lecture with simultaneous interpreting will be held on Saturday 22 August from 2 PM. The lecture is free and the seminar will allow space for questions from the audience.

Naturally, fashion fairs go hand in hand with fashion shows. The catwalk in Hall P will come alive four times a day with collections of men’s and women’s fashion as well as with lingerie and nightwear, including hosiery. There are also two special fashion events coming. On Saturday 22 August at 5 PM, the luxury lingerie brand LISCA will take the catwalk to celebrate its 60th anniversary, and on Sunday 23 August, a unique fashion presentation of a luxury gowns collection by top designers called LUXURY SUMMER will be held at 5 PM.
