For over two decades, CPM — Collection Première Moscow has served as the definitive meeting point for the fashion industry in Eastern Europe. As the largest international exhibition of its kind in Russia, it acts as a crucial bridge between international brands and the dynamic markets of Russia and the EAEU countries.
A Bi-Annual Fashion Summit
Founded in 2003, the exhibition is held twice a year at the state-of-the-art Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre in Moscow, setting the stage for the upcoming seasons. The event brings together a significant and diverse group of industry players. Over 700 brands from more than 23 countries, including Russia, Türkiye, Italy, China, India, and Iran, present their collections. These exhibitors are met by over 20,000 professional visitors, primarily retailers, buyers, distributors, and manufacturers, who attend to place pre-orders and build business relationships.
A Comprehensive Spectrum of Fashion
The scale of CPM is evident in its coverage of the entire fashion spectrum. Divided into specialized sections, the fair allows visitors to navigate the market with ease. Key segments include: CPM prime for premium and designer fashion, CPM kids for children’s fashion, dreams by CPM for lingerie, beachwear, and loungewear, and CPM accessories & shoes. The fair also hosts the CPM shop & retail solutions section, dedicated to innovative concepts for the retail sector, making it a holistic event for fashion professionals.
More than Just a Trade Show
Beyond the exhibition halls, CPM is an interactive business and innovation platform. A highlight is the CPM fashion stage, a vibrant catwalk show program that features premiere presentations from participating brands, professional designer contests, and the annual CPM Shop & Retail Solutions Awards ceremony.
The event is further complemented by the RFRF — Russian Fashion Retail Forum, a four-day business forum that delivers strategic insights through public talks, workshops, and expert lectures, with a dedicated stream for the lingerie market. Initiatives like the CPM School and Designerpool also actively support emerging talents, providing a launchpad for new labels.
The Next Edition
The 46th season of CPM is scheduled to take place from September 1 to 4, 2026, where the industry will convene at the Crocus Expo to present the Spring-Summer 2027 collections. As the largest fashion platform in Eastern Europe, CPM remains a vital event for anyone looking to navigate, understand, and succeed in this key regional market.
