Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week returns with a famously excellent and busy schedule. Next to traditional French couturiers such as Givenchy, Christian Dior or Louis Vuitton, international designers like Issey Miyake, Maison Martin Margiela or Ann Demeulemeester will present their fashion visions for SS 2010. Bernhard Willhelm, Veronique Branquinho’s successor as head of the Fashion Department at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, will also show his latest collection.

Paris Women’s RTW Fashion Week not only has a great appeal for numerous fashion enthusiasts, but also for Austrian fashion designers. Several Austrian labels including Edith A'gay, Claudia Rosa Lukas, Anna Aichinger, Michaela Bürger, Sonja Bischur, doychinoff and FLorian will present their designs at various showrooms and tradeshows. The now fifth edition of the Austrian Fashion Guide will once again feature all information on the Austrian labels that show in Paris.

Already before the start of Paris Fashion Week at the end of September, Premiere Classe - Session 1 will launch on 3 September. The three-day tradeshow for accessories, shoes, bags etc. also comes with an excellent line-up of Austrian labels such as Mühlbauer, Barbara Habig und Rosa Mosa.

Premiere Classe - Session 2 will take place during fashion week from 2 to 5 October, again with Mühlbauer, Anne-Marie Herckes and ArtPoint.
