Fashion Trade Show at Porte de Versailles
From September 4 to 7, 2026, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles hosts Who's Next, one of Europe's most influential professional fashion trade shows. Over four days, designers, buyers, distributors and fashion influencers from around the world gather to discover new ready-to-wear collections, accessories and lifestyle trends set to define the seasons ahead. A strategic event for industry professionals — and a clear signal that Paris remains the world's undisputed fashion capital.
Who's Next: Europe's Leading Ready-to-Wear Trade Platform
Held annually in Paris, Who's Next has established itself as one of the most important reference points for international ready-to-wear buyers and fashion professionals. It brings together hundreds of brands — from established labels to emerging designers — in a space built entirely around discovery, business development and commercial exchange.
The show is defined by its position at the crossroads of fashion, lifestyle and contemporary creativity. Each edition delivers a precise picture of where the industry is heading for the coming seasons — a significant advantage for professionals building their buying strategy in Paris.
For international visitors, Who's Next also represents a concentration of meetings and prospecting opportunities that is simply hard to match anywhere else in Europe.
What Who's Next September 2026 Has to Offer
The show is organised around several thematic areas, allowing visitors to navigate efficiently between womenswear, menswear, accessories, footwear, leather goods and contemporary lifestyle offers.
Dedicated spaces for young designers and developing brands give emerging international voices in fashion a valuable platform alongside established names. These sections consistently spotlight the talents that go on to shape upcoming seasons.
Conferences, panel discussions and professional events round out the programme, making Who's Next as much a forum for industry reflection — on sustainability, textile innovation and digital distribution — as it is a major commercial trade show.
Why Staying in Paris for Who's Next Makes Sense
Who's Next takes place in early September, as Paris re-energises after the summer. It falls directly in the lead-up to Fashion Week, making this period one of the most intense and productive of the year for fashion professionals in the capital.
For visitors travelling from abroad, combining Who's Next with a few days in Paris in September — autumn light, still-active terraces, museums without the summer crowds — offers an ideal mix of business and discovery.
