Interselection April 2007, Paris

Forum : Trend Winter 07/08
(Update) : Life in Blue.

Forum : First Trends for Spring/Summer 2008

Interselection does not only
offer apparel but also shoes
and other accessories.

The Show : Providing Information & Driving the Market
Interselection featured more than 350 companies presenting 1000 collections, selected on the basis of their ability to offer a permanent source of fashion innovations, recognised creative flair and reactivity with regard to delivery times. Items, which are important for the increasing number of collections per year.

Because the market is no longer dictated by the traditional pace of two seasonal collections. According to a survey of fifty leading European retailers and brands carried out by the Institut Français de la Mode (IFM) in January 2007, a rate of 4 collections per year are currently released.
In 2001, German brands were already offering 5 collections per year on average. And major European order-initiators see a further increase within the next three years up to 6.8 collections per year, which means more than 3 collections per season.

The number of collections is also depending on the brands' market position : while low-end brands offer 5 collections, mid-range offer 6 collections and the top-end offer only 3 collections per year on average.
