PRET A PORTER PARIS, The heart of fashion, increases the number of visitors.
44 236 visitors (total figures rather than all fairs added together) representing an
increase of 6% against September 2007 (41 437).
The common Fashion Pass was a notable success, making visiting the different fairs
easier and creating a more convivial spirit.

STRATEGY & FAIRS 2009
PRÊT À PORTER PARIS from 30th January 2009 to 2nd February 2009 at Paris
Expo, Porte de Versailles (Paris).
Concerning the 2nd semester of 2009, the presence of an important women’s fashion
event has been confirmed for July, despite the desisting of Who’s Next, reversing of
the common decision announced on the 15th January 2008. The pavilions of the
Porte de Versailles will thus remain available. Given the proximity of these two dates,
a very interesting debate has already started between the organisation and exhibitors
to ensure that this new strategy is a success.
