The organizers of Who's Next Prêt-à-Porter, the new French fashion trade show in Paris, plan to make several adjustments after its first edition on Jan. 21-24. They plan to boost international promotion for the event in order to achieve the goal of an even split between French and foreign visitors within two years. Foreign visitors represented only 32 percent of the total attendance, which amounted to 65,682 visits. The figures were not comparable with those of one year ago because Who's Next, Prêt-à-Porter and the four other fashion fairs that belong to the new platform were previously operated independently from one another. Most of the foreign buyers came from Italy, followed by Belgium and Spain.
