Sector reactions to Children's Fashion Cologne:

Petra Jost and René Drai of PM ModeAgentur Kids de Luxe in Munich say, "Super! Finally a new trade fair with a truly impressive concept. It will be an event that presents children's fashion in an environment that has emotional energy, projects creativity and lifestyle, and inspires a passion for fashion.

"Now it's up to the sector to show its team spirit and make sure that Children's Fashion Cologne becomes the main event for the sector. We support what's happening in Cologne and recommend that anyone who wants to get things moving in children's fashion should participate."

Magnus Ericsson, Chairman of the shoe factory Kavat AB in Sweden says, "Children's Fashion Cologne has the potential to be the European source of inspiration for high-quality children's fashion.

"The synthesis of product show and brand identity coupled with the perfect organization of the partners, Koelnmesse and Luna media, will help Kavat achieve its goal of improving sales in central Europe. We're looking forward to being at CFC in Cologne because, like a number of buyers and stylists from all over Europe, we see this trade fair as an important kick-off event for the new season."
