Categories : Lifestyle, published on : 8/25/25

For over 30 years, Who’s Next (WSN) has established itself as a major player in the fashion world, organizing events in Paris dedicated to international professionals, mainly brands and distributors. Each edition, held in January and September, offers a unique opportunity to discover the latest trends and innovations in ready-to-wear, accessories, beauty, and lifestyle.

Three Major Fairs Gathered at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles

In September 2025, and again in January 2026, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles will host three key international fashion industry events, all organized by WSN: Who’s Next, Interfilière, and Bijorhca. Each of these fairs has its own unique and complementary identity, offering professionals a unique chance to discover new collections, innovations, and sector developments all under one roof.

Who’s Next

Launched in 1994, Who’s Next has become the essential biannual event for professionals in ready-to-wear, accessories, beauty, and lifestyle. Each edition attracts around 45,000 visitors including buyers, multi-brand boutiques, department stores, and e-commerce platforms. The fair unites a dynamic international community of buyers, agents, journalists, stylists, and trend offices seeking the latest market influences and perspectives.

Interfilière

Created in 1963, Interfilière is the world reference for sourcing and innovation in lingerie, swimwear, and activewear sectors. Known for its avant-garde approach, the event connects brands with suppliers specializing in textile technologies, craftsmanship, and high-performance materials. From September 2025, Interfilière will expand its scope to include ready-to-wear and accessories, creating a more comprehensive sourcing platform under one roof.

Bijorhca Paris

Since 1930, Bijorhca is the only professional trade show in France dedicated to the jewelry, watchmaking, and technical accessories industries. Organized alongside Who’s Next, it fosters valuable synergies between the jewelry world and the broader fashion ecosystem. With approximately 45,000 visitors expected per edition, it is a key meeting point for brands and manufacturers aiming to increase their visibility among distribution and fashion stakeholders.

A 2025 Edition Focused on Innovation and Ecological Transition

In September 2025, Who’s Next offers a rich and ambitious program, bringing together a wide range of exhibitors and initiatives. Alongside traditional brands, visitors will discover IMPACT and Neonyt, an area dedicated to initiatives promoting ecological and social transition in fashion. This zone highlights actors committed to more responsible development, aligning with growing consumer expectations.

Furthermore, TRAFFIC, the space dedicated to innovative solutions for distributors and brands, showcases the latest technologies and business trends. This platform has become essential for professionals aiming to optimize their commercial strategies and integrate new digital and sustainable solutions.
