Unique international childrenswear trade shows, exclusively tailored for independent retail childrenswear buyers are getting ready to present trends and new collections for Spring Summer 2015. We are covering a few of the main events, the most important European shows here, from leading and fashion forward to new exciting initiatives and collaborations…

It’s not as crazy as it may sound, to start the kids trade show and buying season a year ahead. Orders for SS15 needs to be made by Summer 2014, to secure delivery of Spring news next February 2015. Just in time for Spring!

Of recent years there’s been a growth of trade shows for childrenswear, with a fierce competition on attracting both exhibitors, buyers and press. At the end of the day, you can’t attend them all. So we’ve done you the favour of giving our top 6 list, on shows.

Let me present your itinerary this Summer, in the form of a map…
