This is part two of the list of fashion events that I would recommend looking into. There are a lot more out there but being passionate about fashion and the business of fashion you'd need to research deeper to understand what these events can offer and who would be the type of buyers that would attend these events. Be selective and know what you're looking for so that you don't waste time with events that may not meet your expectations. Enjoy this and do share with me if you have other events that you've personally attended that is worth mentioning.

Constant fieldwork, and a unique ability to anticipate, are the twin engines driving Première Vision's development and its success. And also a boldness that leads it to constantly re-examine itself, to continue to be the one essential meeting-point for global fashion players. It’s the MUST for all creative minds to go to this event as it’s really a premiere platform the presents latest trends, colours, techniques, forms, silhouettes, ideas and information.
Rendez-Vous Femme (contemporary fashion) THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 – SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2011 |

RDV was conceived created and curated back in January 2005, it was the the first trade-show to be considered 'contemporary' and revered by buyers across the globe cementing a reputation in the industry as a show for the new, the fresh and the avant-garde. The RDV team was synonymous with 'meticulous brand sourcing' and thus manifested a reputation as the mavericks of trade-shows.
RDV has established itself as one of the key events in the tradeshow calendar for the discerning and creative buyer. Notorious for unearthing hidden 'gems' from global clothing 'mines', supporting new brands and designers, RDV even gave a break to some ailing giants, now considered 'heritage'... The show takes pride in their confidence as a preference to continue to offer buyers a broad cross section of the mens contemporary world, from catwalk designers, fashion inspired collections and solid individualistic brands a plenty.
