Following right behind New York Fashion Week, the New York ready-to-wear trade shows will be starting this Saturday, 21 February. With a pretty big new entry: French trade show Tranoï.

From 21 to 23 February, the show, created in 1991 and taken over by Armand Hadida in 2003, will present 80 women's ready-to-wear and accessories brands for winter 2015.

An international selection, with 9 French brands – including glove-maker Agnelle, Balensi Paris evening gowns, luxury denim or "Parisian contemporary jeans" brand Brockenbow, and Natacha & Vanessa, a specialist in hides and fur - and nearly 70 designers from some twenty countries around the world.

"Dedicated to the modern woman and wanting to show off all the facets of fashion, the Tranoï New York trade show will particularly highlight its avant-garde brands, such as Barbara I Gongini, leather brand VSP, Isaac Reina, Laura B Collection Particulière and the very graphic universe of Pierre-Louis Mascia.
