PREMIUM GROUP in Berlin is cancelling its shows

The PREMIUM GROUP in Berlin is cancelling its PREMIUM and SEEK trade shows for this summer season, as well as the FASHIONTECH conference – in collaboration with the leading global digital B2B marketplace, JOOR, there is still a guaranteed trading option.

Due to the coronavirus crisis, in April the dates of the PREMIUM GROUP’s events were provisionally moved from the original schedule of 31 June-2 July 2020 to 28 -30 July. Now, the Federal and State governments have decided to cancel large-scale events with over 1,000 visitors until 31 August 2020.

A statement from Anita Tillmann, Managing Partner of the PREMIUM GROUP:

The PREMIUM GROUP in Berlin is cancelling its PREMIUM and SEEK trade shows for this summer season, as well as the FASHIONTECH conference – in collaboration with the leading global digital B2B marketplace, JOOR, there is still a guaranteed trading option.

“We greatly regret the decision of course, especially after the success of our January events. The ban on large-scale events has been around for some time and has been publicly discussed. It hurts us to do it, but we are also conscious of our responsibility. If cancelling our trade shows, conferences and parties contributes to the safety of our customers and visitors, then we have to take this step.

We are in close contact with all our brands and partners and have spent the last four weeks discussing possible approaches, concepts and new focal topics for the summer. The bottom line is that digitalisation is clearly the focus. It’s all about using the time over the next few months sensibly. The timing for brands and retailers is now right – all market participants are aware of the necessity of this.

We have been working closely with JOOR, the leading B2B marketplace globally, for around a year, after successfully integrating our own digital platform, Veee.com. JOOR has digitalised the entire procurement process and ensures a seamless, functioning wholesale process on an international scale – both for brands and retailers.

We shall shortly be offering webinars on this and can offer our customers an optimal, digital ordering solution so as to use this time of the pandemic efficiently. We are very happy with this option and our year-long investment in the topic of digitalisation. This has come good for us now.

Our trade show formats have been about more than just ordering for a long time now. They are about encounters, emotion, inspiration, communication and, finally, the fashion community getting together. Although lots can take place digitally nowadays, it doesn't replace physically meeting up in person. We have seen this more than ever in the present situation.

We are going to work on new concepts for 2021, and we will liaise with the key stakeholders in Berlin and with all others too to ensure we hit the ground running again. We’re taking on the challenge and will come back to the industry when we have news.”

SEEK: building on the TRADE UNION concept for July

Following its successful beginnings in summer 2018 and its expansion in January 2019, TRADE UNION will be developed yet further as a dedicated space for selected brands and agencies.

“TRADE UNION is very close to our hearts,” explains SEEK Director Maren Wiebus. “Being able to work together to fill a space with life, interact with customers and products, and tell authentic stories in a laid-back, relaxing atmosphere – this open-minded, collaborative approach is ultra-modern and of the minute in its simplicity. We are all in the same big boat and can consider ourselves lucky that colleagues and customers are and have become friends. Together, we can achieve a lot this way.”

It has always been integral to SEEK’s DNA to continually work with partners and friends to develop new concepts that are perfectly suited to the demands of the market. The carefully curated setting of TRADE UNION, featuring brands such as Eat Dust, Porter-Yoshida & Co and Knickerbocker, is especially popular with the top buyers.

Felix Engelmann has supported the concept right from the off through his marketing agency Haptiques, and is full of passion and on board again with the concept this season.
“The TRADE UNION concept really came off for us in January. We worked well with our partners; the vibe was positive and nicely relaxed. I’m expecting the atmosphere in the summer to be just as fantastic and I’m sure it’ll be a good occasion with friends, partners and employees.”

In July, buyers can look forward to an expanded portfolio including Red Wing Shoes, a brand from Minnesota. European Marketing Manager Rik van Dijk comments:
“We can't wait to attend the inspiring setting, because our buyers really feel at home there. We need a location where you can take a step back, find a quiet place to sit and talk to everyone. The extra space at the TRADE UNION guarantees this. We’ve only heard good things from friendly brands and we’re really looking forward to the trade show.”

PREMIUM and ECOALF are taking steps towards sustainability.

PREMIUM and ECOALF are taking steps towards sustainability

STOP TALKING. START ACTING.
Climate change is real. And so is the responsibility of every human being to help in reducing waste.

We no longer want to talk about sustainability, we want to act. For January, PREMIUM is partnering with Spanish fashion label and sustainable clothing pioneer ECOALF. The brand will present its lifelong mission and latest collection in a dedicated space as well as an art installation together with conceptual artist Juan Garaizabal.

"2019 is all about digital first and an active debate about social and environmental issues. Transparency and sustainability are key words. By reducing plastic waste on all our shows, teaming up with ECOALF and giving this wonderful brand dedicated space and time for spreading their message, we are taking steps into right direction. Every little action counts. We should talk about the things we do more instead of talking about what we are not doing. We all need to wake up. Now.” – Anita Tillmann, CEO PREMIUM Group

STOP TALKING. START ACTING.
Climate change is real. And so is the responsibility of every human being to help in reducing waste.

ECOALF creates high-quality garments using recycled materials collected from the bottom of our oceans. Commitment, sustainability and innovation are at the core of everything the company does, resulting in both conscious and stylish urban, adventure, knitwear and activewear pieces.

“I love collaborating with people that also believe we have the opportunity to change the world for the better. It’s no longer about what you do, but how you do it. It is important to stand up for what you believe in, because fashion cannot just be about looking good.” – Javier Goyeneche, President and Founder of ECOALF.

On Wednesday, January 16th, at 10am and 2pm, Goyeneche will present his brand’s values, philosophy and way of working on the experience floor of SHOW&ORDER X PREMIUM at Kühlhaus, right next to the STATION area. Show visitors, media and other exhibitors are invited to listen, learn and discuss.

The art piece in partnership with Garaizabal unveiled at PREMIUM on January 15th is filled with waste to portray our everyday reality, and purposefully interactive so that visitors can throw their own trash inside the installation. The aim is to educate about correct waste disposal and show that every individual’s decision matters: Stop, Think, Act.

The Art of connecting the fashion industry

"The atmosphere at all four shows and also the #FASHIONTECH BERLIN Conference was more successful than last summer. The exhibitors repeatedly praised the range of visitors – international buyers, well-founded fashion experts, people that love experiencing new trends and with a high level of awareness for our beautiful world. All of them took the chance to exchange and get inspired by the shows and events. Our strength is the concept of creating content, commerce and community – we connect the right people at the right time and at the right touchpoints. The entire network benefits from that. Furthermore the new digital b2b platform veee.com was featured on the PREMIUM and SEEK and received a very positive feedback."
– Anita Tillmann, Managing Partner PREMIUM GROUP

On three days the PREMIUM GROUP once again showed and linked the most important international brands with buyers, influencers and other media representatives. Outcome: The real face-to-face exchange 2.0 is and remains important.

A total of 1,038 brands exhibited on the four formats. On top the #FASHIONTECH BERLIN offered the group's extensive and varied program as a conference. In addition to networking and trend scouting, the main focus was also on points of experience – an important aspect for the fashion industry, to which the PREMIUM GROUP increasingly relies. The halls of STATION Berlin, the Kühlhaus and the Arena Berlin were filled accordingly throughout the three days. The terrific summer weather contributed to the constantly positive atmosphere and invited all guests to enjoy all outdoor offers.

PREMIUM GROUP – Final Report

Die PREMIUM GROUP ist Veranstalter der internationalen Modemessen PREMIUM, SHOW&ORDER, SEEK, BRIGHT und PREMIUM ORDER MUNICH sowie der Innovationskonferenz FASHIONTECH. Mit diesen Events positioniert sich die PREMIUM GROUP als führender Veranstalter und als Innovationsspitze innerhalb der europäischen Messelandschaft.

„Das war ein guter Saisonstart für uns. Alle Messeformate und Events sind sehr gut besprochen und besucht worden. Die Zusammenlegung von PREMIUM und SHOW&ORDER war richtig und wichtig. Der Fokus auf die Experiences, die auf allen Plattformen umgesetzt wurden, kam sehr gut an. Viele Brands haben richtigerweise in den Standbau und in das Storytelling investiert, um ihre Marken und Kollektionen zu emotionalisieren, und davon vor Ort profitiert. Die SEEK wurde unterm Strich als die coolste Plattform bewertet, die den Zeitgeist am treffendsten abbildet. Die Stimmung war aufgeladen, der Style der Community progressiv und jung, Berlin-like. Auffallend jung ist auch die neue Generation der Besucher in der Arena. Was uns freut, ist der Erfolg des European Skateboard Awards mit der BRIGHT, moderiert von der amerikanischen YouTube-Ikone Gary Rogers (Skateline). Das Publikum kam aus der ganzen Welt und den Brandaward hat dieses Mal Palace gewonnen – mit Abstand eine der gefragtesten Marken im Bereich Urban- und Streetwear. Wir blicken auf drei Tage erfolgreiches Messebusiness zurück und sind zufrieden mit der Frequenz und vor allem mit der Qualität der Besucher. Die Anzahl der Besucher lag etwas höher als in der Sommersaison und entspricht ungefähr der Anzahl der vergangenen Wintersaison. Auf allen Events liegt der Fokus nach wie vor auf Business, Community, Kommunikation, Emotion und Inspiration.

Das geballte Angebot lieferte den Retailern ideale Voraussetzungen, die Trends, die wir in den verschiedenen Hallen definieren, zu sichten und für ihre Sortimente zu ordern.
Mit dem Umzug ins Kraftwerk und der Partnerschaft mit der Messe Frankfurt wurde das erfolgreiche Konzept der FASHIONTECH mit der FASHIONSUSTAIN um einen weiteren Tag ergänzt. An beiden Tagen war die Konferenz ganztägig voll besetzt. Damit hat sich das Kraftwerk als Innovation & Future Hub während der Fashion Week etabliert.“

Premium Athletic Life & Style

Das bewusste Leben ist in unseren Alltag eingezogen – Athleisurewear ist von den Straßen der internationalen Modemetropolen nicht mehr wegzudenken.

„Seit langem sieht man in New York oder L.A. die Girls in ihren Yoga-Leggings, die Matte unter den Arm geklemmt, dazu eine coole Jacke und Handtasche. Die Tatsache, dass der Trend jetzt auch in Europa angekommen ist, reflektieren wir auf der PREMIUM in der Halle 2.“ Anita Tillmann, CEO PREMIUM

Fitness und Gesundheit haben im modernen Lifestyle die höchste Priorität.

Mit Athleisurewear lässt sich dieser bewusste nachhaltige Lebensstil perfekt in die Mode integrieren und andersherum: vom Supermarkt in die Pilates-Stunde, von der Morgenmeditation an den Schreibtisch, vom Fashion-Einkauf in der Stadt auf das Spinning-Rad im Fitnessclub – funktionale Kleidung wird nicht mehr länger nur in den Kursen getragen, sondern genauso zum Post-Workout-Drink.

Das bewusste Leben ist in unseren Alltag eingezogen – Athleisurewear ist von den Straßen der internationalen Modemetropolen nicht mehr wegzudenken.

Fitness und Gesundheit haben im modernen Lifestyle die höchste Priorität.

Life in balance: Laufschuhe, Leggings, Sport-BHs – was eigentlich fürs Training gedacht ist, wird ins alltägliche Outfit integriert. Der gekonnte Mix & Match aus funktionaler Kleidung mit Fashion Statement Pieces macht Fitness- Items fashionable: die Fitnesshose mit der coolen Lederjacke und Loafers oder das bauchfreie Yoga-Top mit Hoodie zur Jeans und einer angesagten Tasche. Stylisch aussehen kann so bequem sein.

In jeder Saison spiegelt die PREMIUM als Modemesse die neuesten globalen Lifestyleströmungen wider, um den Einkäufern Inspirationen und Emotionen zu vermitteln. Der wachsende Athleisurewear-Trend birgt großes Potential für Fashion Stores – einerseits, um das Sortiment zu erweitern, andererseits, um die Kunden immer wieder zu überraschen und begeistern.

Seit 2015 präsentiert die PREMIUM in Halle 2 das Zeitgeist-Thema Athleisurewear. In dieser Saison wird es noch stärker als erlebbares Gesamtkonzept präsentiert. Sportive Brands wie Casall, Desigual Sport,
Pyrates, Dresp, Arys, Body Language Sportswear, Califortunate, The White Brand, Flexi Lexi Fitness, Morotai, Guess Sport, Blue Sportswear und Flip Flop präsentieren ihre aktuellen Kollektionen. Die Fashionmarken werden im Kontext mit speziellem Food-Angebot und Trend-Schauen gezeigt, um dem Einkäufer das Gesamtkonzept zu vermitteln.

Athleisure on the Run(way) . . .

In Fashion Shows, die an allen drei Tagen jeweils um 12:00 Uhr stattfinden, werden unterschiedliche Looks präsentiert. Das Besondere dabei: Die Looks werden von Sport- und Fashion-Influencern ausgewählt und gestylt, von und von McFit Models präsentiert. Für das richtige Hair & Make-up sorgt Nude by Nature.

Darüber hinaus unterstützt McFit Models außerdem die Gesamtperformance mit Licht- und Musikanimation. Als Inspiration für den Einkäufer bleiben die Models nach der Show in ihren Looks in Halle 2 zu sehen.

...Greens on the Table

Mode ist immer der Ausdruck eines ganzheitlichen Lebensgefühls, zu dem auch der Bereich Food gehört. Abgerundet wird das Programm durch gesunde Bowls und andere Leckereien von Beets&Roots sowie gesunde Kräutershots von Nouri, die zur Fashion Show verteilt werden und zu allen anderen Zeiten am Stand gekauft werden können.

Premium International Fashion Trade Show

Seit 2003 ist die PREMIUM die internationale Leitmesse und wichtigste internationale Business- und Networking-Plattform für Advanced Contemporary Fashion. Als Innovationstreiber und Pionier der Branche analysiert das PREMIUM Team ununterbrochen neue aktuelle Themenfelder und Lifestyleströmungen, um daraus die Trends der Zukunft zu definieren.

Mit 1.000 Brands und 1.800 Kollektionen sowie 30 % neuen Labels pro Saison garantiert die PREMIUM der Branche eine handverlesene Selektion der gefragtesten handelsrelevanten internationalen Kollektionen unter einem Dach. Mit der saisonalen Vorschau über die international Contemporary Fashion präsentiert die PREMIUM den Einkäufern einen spannenden Ausblick auf die kommenden Fashion-Saisons.

Unter Umsetzung hoher Qualitätsstandards arbeitet die PREMIUM unentwegt an der Perfektionierung und Entwicklung ihrer B2B-Services, die den wechselnden Bedürfnissen der Industrie angepasst werden und einen effizienten Orderprozess garantieren. Neben dem unternehmerischen Schwerpunkt strebt die PREMIUM immer danach, zu inspirieren, Geschäftsbeziehungen zu verstärken sowie den interdisziplinären Wissensaustausch zu fördern.
