Update
Who’s Next 2026 will return as a physical event in its usual January slot. Organisers have already announced the dates for the fair’s latest edition. Designers and buyers can look forward to an intense event schedule between the 17th and 19th of January 2026.
Preface
Who’s Next is the fashion industry’s semi-annual trade show. It offers an encompassing and thorough review of the upcoming fashion season's up-to-the-minute trends. It accomplishes the task by showcasing the latest collections and inspirational sources for segments, such as leather products, purses, shoes, travelling apparel, accessories, and lifestyle products. This allows a diverse range of industry specialists to remain up-to-date on the newest design ideas, colour palettes and material solutions. As a result, the event’s editions, which are held once in winter and once in autumn, frequently receive over 46 000 attendants ranging from international buyers to trendsetters and journalists. Such participants travel from more than 100 nations and represent continents such as Asia, the Americas, and Europe. Apart from learning about the forthcoming season’s fashion styles, attendants can also learn about new challenges during the event’s hosting at the Paris Expo Port de Versailles.
About Who’s Next
The Who’s Next event features a variety of sub-events. Among them are networking, conferences and competitions, such as the BabyBrand Competition. The participant list features diverse leading enterprises from the leather products, fabrics, clothing, footwear, and fashion industries. Examples include Geox, Gemini, and MCM.

Dear Tom,
Thanks for your email.
PLMA 2025 has been a very successful fair for us. Also, we loved the hotel and the location. We'd like to book the same hotel for next year, sure!
Please send me the rate for 2026, and we'll let you know if it's acceptable for us.
Thank you in advance,
Best regards

Dear Brian,
Thank you for all your help in arranging accommodation for our Travel Award Winners. It was very well organised by you even when additional night's accommodation was requested. All of the guests were happy with the hotel and had no complaints.
We would be looking to book again with you in the future!
James Bruno
This was a very nice hotel and would consider staying again in the future. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were adequate and clean. The hotel is located near the subway station as well as the larger metro station at the Duomo. It was easy to get to the station and get around the city when necessary.

Dear Christine,
The Novum Hotel Madison Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof was fine: good service, large rooms and bathrooms.
A bit old-fashioned and a 3 star hotel in my opinion rather than 4 stars.
Breakfast was fine.
Best regards
