by Olivier Guillemin [o,o] in collaboration with the Comité Français de la Couleur.
A season that seeks balance between profound opposites through multiple contrasts.
Contrasts of materials: mattes and shinies, compacts and lightweights.
Contrasts of colors: strong intensities and soft tones.
A desire for simplicity and discretion but also of radicality and extravagance.
Constructive dualities develop in the different themes.

We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
