PARIS — Paris was a top choice for international buyers looking for exclusivity at some of the largest ready-to-wear trade shows, recently held in the French capital: Woman, Premiere Classe Dressing, Vendôme Luxury and Tranoï, which recently appointed a new director.
“I only come to Paris, because it’s all here. Everyone shows in Paris,” said Nancy Herdlinger, owner of Nancy, in Georgia, while visiting Tranoï at the end of September. The show recently named Boris Provost as its new chief executive officer, replacing David Hadida, whose family founded the event. Armand Hadida will remain artistic director until March 2020.
Provost, who has experience working on the executive team for Paris show organizers, WSN Développement, and more recently at Reed Exhibitions’ hospitality and food division, said one of his goals as president would be to bolster Paris’ position as a leading fashion week destination, by closely cooperating with other trade shows, and consolidating Tranoï’s various venues by March 2020. The event’s locations include the Carrousel du Louvre and the Palais de la Bourse (held Sept. 27 to 30), showrooms on Rue de Richelieu (Sept. 27 to Oct. 2) and Tranoï Week in the Marais (Sept. 25 to Oct. 1).
