Premium Group: Details of the new Event Cosmos in Berlin

For the summer events at the Berlin exhibition center, the Premium Group is relying on a new mix of fashion, business, content and entertainment.

The State of Style & Culture
The Premium Group is expanding its portfolio in the summer to include the consumer festival THE GROUND in addition to the existing PREMIUM and SEEK trade fairs and is presenting numerous innovations for the long-awaited reunion of the industry in Berlin.

The new location Messe Berlin will become the Premium Group cosmos, a holistic inspirational hub for all relevant topics related to fashion, trends, retail, lifestyle, marketing, digitization, sustainability, metaverse and more.

In July, brands and partners can also present themselves to end consumers for the first time as part of the new event THE GROUND, 'Direct to Consumer'. Consumers get access to THE GROUND, while trade visitors are invited to view the full range and be inspired throughout the site.

PREMIUM: New tripartition with new segments
In order to be able to show all relevant segments of advanced contemporary fashion even better and more holistically, the PREMIUM portfolio will be divided into three new areas from the summer. With the segmentation into High, Icon & Volume, large, commercially successful brands as well as more focused designer brands, newcomers and smaller innovators will now find their place. Here the PREMIUM fashion team advises all partners in detail in order to guarantee ideal positioning and the possibility of storytelling.

SEEK: Premiere of the SEEK Conscious Club
Sustainability has been part of the culture of the SEEK brand since it was founded 12 years ago. With the new SEEK Conscious Club, in addition to the SEEK area with well-known and new SEEKERS, a dedicated area for sustainable brands is being created. SEEK offers them the stage and space to grow and the attention to optimally spread brand values. The international SEEK community is represented by niche brands as well as commercially successful players. And the established TRADE UNION for brands with a particularly sharp sales strategy will once again have an exclusive area in the new location.

THE GROUND: Festival for Style & Culture
With the new Direct to Consumer Festival THE GROUND, the Premium Group is now also inviting Gen-Z, Gen-Y and Culture Pioneers once a year. Music acts, panels and live talks with well-known speakers and influencers, creative workshops, sports and wellbeing sessions are intended to inspire, enrich, enlighten and inspire exchange: entertainment, edutainment and experiences.

THE GROUND turns live streams into live encounters, consumers into co-creators and classic retailers into strategic marketing and event partners. Here, through emotional experiences and unique showcases, brands can be experienced and interested customers become loyal brand fans. Topics relevant to society and generations, such as fashion, sports, beauty & well-being, metaverse & gaming, will be featured in the area as well as in talks and master classes as part of the FASHIONTECH content format.

"In order to remain sustainable, we want and need to merge B2B and D2C and create a place - a marketplace for ideas and products - where brands, retailers and consumers come together and learn from each other. For the first time, we are offering holistic reach, synergy and network effects,” explains Jörg Arntz, Managing Director Premium Group.

“B2B and D2C will take place in parallel on one site, although of course there will still be an area for professionals only, i.e. exclusively for the industry. The D2C area is accessible to both end consumers and trade visitors. In addition to our trade fairs, we create new content from which our visitors and exhibitors benefit.”

During the event, which will take place from Thursday to Saturday for the first time, it will be about exchange, trends, inspiration and emotion, new brands, the further development of well-known players, creative collection presentations and of course what the fashion world and its protagonists * inside: joy and passion. In order for this to work and for the long-term existence of the new event concept in Berlin to be guaranteed, everyone involved is asked, challenged and responsible.

In Anbetracht der durch den Expertenrat der Bundesregierung prognostizierten Zuspitzung der Pandemielage, die die Omikron-Variante für Deutschland mit sich bringen könnte, ist es für die Messe Frankfurt als Veranstalterin der Messeformate Neonyt und Val:ue sowie für die Premium Group als Veranstalterin der Messen Premium und Seek, des Fashion-Festivals The Ground sowie der Fashiontech-Konferenz aktuell nicht möglich, die Planungen zur erstmaligen Durchführung der großen Mode-Fachbesucher*innenmessen in Frankfurt weiter voranzutreiben. Auf die Entwicklungen des aktuellen Pandemiegeschehens reagierte ein Großteil der auf den Messen ausstellenden und besuchenden Unternehmen bereits jetzt mit Reise- und Messebesuchsverboten aus Gründen der Fürsorgepflicht gegenüber ihren Mitarbeitenden sowie zum Schutz vor gesundheitlichen Risiken.

Trotzdem arbeiten die Organisator*innen der Frankfurt Fashion Week daran, ein ausgewähltes Programm mit persönlichen Begegnungsformaten im coronakonformen Rahmen vor Ort in Frankfurt zu ermöglichen, um der Branche die Gelegenheit zum Austausch wertvoller Impulse zu geben. „Wir spüren das ausgeprägte Bedürfnis der Branche nach persönlichen Begegnungen. Wir sind daher davon überzeugt, dass wir mit den Showcases, Events und Konferenzen, die wir im Januar anlässlich der Frankfurt Fashion Week in dem Umfang realisieren, wie er dann coronakonform möglich sein wird, ein positives Signal des Aufbruchs aus Frankfurt senden werden“, sagt Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles und Textile Technologies der Messe Frankfurt.

Weitere Informationen zum detaillierten Programm der Showcases, Events und Konferenzen finden Sie bereits auf www.frankfurt.fashion und werden sukzessive bekanntgegeben.

SAVE THE DATE: Frankfurt, January 2022

  • HIGHER, FASTER, FURTHER ! During the first physical Frankfurt Fashion Week in January 2022, PREMIUM GROUP will show more novelties than ever.

The anticipation is rising! With the actual move to Frankfurt in January 2022, Anita Tillmann, Jörg Arntz and the teams will not only present further developed versions of the PREMIUM and SEEK fashion fairs, but will also celebrate a major B2C festival for the first time with THE GROUND.

More than ever, the Berliners‘ passion for people and fashion, but also for business and trading, is at the heart of all their events. And where better to combine all this than in the power metropolis of Frankfurt am Main.

  • HIGHER, FASTER, FURTHER ! During the first physical Frankfurt Fashion Week in January 2022, PREMIUM GROUP will show more novelties than ever.

The anticipation is rising! With the actual move to Frankfurt in January 2022, Anita Tillmann, Jörg Arntz and the teams will not only present further developed versions of the PREMIUM and SEEK fashion fairs, but will also celebrate a major B2C festival for the first time with THE GROUND.

More than ever, the Berliners‘ passion for people and fashion, but also for business and trading, is at the heart of all their events. And where better to combine all this than in the power metropolis of Frankfurt am Main.

„No city in Germany - no city in Europe - stands for business relevance and trading power as much as Frankfurt am Main,“ explains Tillmann. „We now have a unique opportunity to actively shape the future together. PREMIUM GROUP provides the industry with the platform, the brands with the creative content. In addition, we do what we do best, introduce the right players to each other and connect them. We bring together the movers and shakers who have the same drive as we do. With this new mix of location, entertainment, creative industry and trading focus, we are creating a unique momentum after the pandemic - January is when the big deals are made and the c ourse is set for the future.“

To achieve this goal, the PREMIUM GROUP teams have also given the proven successful formats PREMIUM and SEEK a new coat of paint. More space, new areas and shorter distances provide visitors with a completely new trade event experience. Trends, brands and events can be discovered together with new and well-known partners - for the first time all in one place!

And PREMIUM, which is already entering its 19th year in January, is also showing a new side in Frankfurt. Instead of being spread out like in Station-Berlin, in Frankfurt all brands show their collections in one big hall. „We are so excited to finally unite all exhibitors in one hall. This way we create a universe with many different worlds - colorful and exciting,“ says Wiebus. „We are in close exchange with all the protagonists throughout the year and continue to develop the concepts together. The entire industry is positive about coming together in Frankfurt. Everyone is keen to experience and create something completely new! We offer the framework for this - that is our strength.“

And the Berliners have another surprise in store for the Frankfurt debut: With THE GROUND, they are organizing a large fashion festival for young end consumers for the first time. Responsible for the event concept, in addition to Tillmann, Arntz and the PREMIUM GROUP- team, is B2C expert Kai Zollhöfer, who already made the Bread & Butter by Zalando a crowd puller. “THE GROUND is a B2C festival aimed at a young, purpose-driven generation. This new generation has a strong stance on current social and environmental challenges and expects brands to reflect them. The overriding themes at THE GROUND are therefore sustainability, diversity and equality”, said Zollhöfer.

The 3-day event offers brands the opportunity to interactively exhibit purpose-driven stories and products. In addition to the thematic focus on fashion, brands from the fields of wellbeing, beauty, mobility and technology will also present innovative products and solutions.

SEEK, PREMIUM and FASHIONTECH cancelled – moved to January 2022

“The consequences of the ongoing pandemic spread of the coronavirus continue to govern our personal and professional lives. It is with a heavy heart that we must cancel the physical events in July, since these are not allowed to take place given the current legal constraints. Due to the lack of certainty for planning and new monthly evaluation we need to fulfil our obligations as event organiser and avoid unforeseeable risks for partners and clients.” Anita Tillmann, Managing Partner of the PREMIUM GROUP

A lack of permissions, adjustments to official measures at short notice, travel restrictions within Europe and overseas, potential quarantine obligations, short-term work in many companies – overall, a volatile situation makes it impossible to press ahead with the necessary planning in a responsible, risk-free way, especially for the exhibitors and partners.

Because of this, the organizers are now forced to cancel SEEK, PREMIUM and FASHIONTECH events in July 2021 and move them to January 2022 instead. Safeguarding the health and safety of exhibitors, guests, partners and employees always takes top priority.

SEEK and PREMIUM are live events and therefore spaces for engaging with others face-to-face. They are a vital meeting point for the whole industry that can only be augmented by our digital offerings. Under the current unpredictable conditions the usual levels of service cannot be guaranteed for clients and visitors.

July will see the start of Frankfurt Fashion Week (FFW) digital. Frankfurt Fashion Week Studio is the core element of the FFW opening season and encompasses the whole FFW ecosystem – with its key themes of Fashion Business, sustainability and digitisation – in the form of a digital portal.

FFW Studio is a progressively curated and staged platform that brings together all German fashion trade shows, conferences, fashion experiences and events under one roof for the first time. First as a digital venue, then as a hybrid one. For pioneers, brands, experiences, entertainment and networking.

“Over the past year we have felt a great sense of solidarity. The industry has given us enormous encouragement and the assurance that we are not only missed but needed. So we want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We can't wait to get together in a few short months’ time to present concepts and projects, meet up face-to-face, and shape the future together. Now more than ever!” Anita Tillmann, Managing Partner of the PREMIUM GROUP

PREMIUM GROUP: Statement about January 2021 Events

  • Anita Tillmann, managing partner, about Premium Group´s January 2021 Events

“These are challenging times – for all of us. On one hand, because we can't meet up in the same carefree way as usual. And, on the other hand, because decisions have to be made based on factors that are out of everyone’s control. Alongside all this, it’s essential that we look to the future with positivity, that we use the time effectively and continue to advance in the face of adversity. This not only affects the trade show and event organisers, but the whole industry.

“These are challenging times – for all of us. On one hand, because we can't meet up in the same carefree way as usual. And, on the other hand, because decisions have to be made based on factors that are out of everyone’s control. Alongside all this, it’s essential that we look to the future with positivity, that we use the time effectively and continue to advance in the face of adversity. This not only affects the trade show and event organisers, but the whole industry.

We have carried out market research and surveyed exhibitors, partners and buyers on the current circumstances. The objective was to obtain a data-based assessment of the current economic situation, a summary of the success of the exclusively digital events, and insights into the requirements of our network with regard to the physical trade shows. Following analysis of the data gathered we have established that there is a personal wish for an event to happen – inclusive of the appropriate hygiene measures – however, this is unfortunately not currently possible from a professional perspective. As long as there are delays to production and constantly changing travel and contact restrictions in place, we cannot put on any trade shows, conferences or events that would meet our demands or the demands of our exhibitors.

We have therefore decided not to hold PREMIUM, SEEK or FASHIONTECH next January. This was an incredibly difficult decision to make. Especially because we didn't want to say goodbye to Berlin without a fitting farewell.

Now, though, it’s about looking forward and concentrating on what is certain: Frankfurt Fashion Week, which we will be staging in July 2021 together with Messe Frankfurt, the City of Frankfurt and the region of Hessen. We have big plans and are working on a new, fresh start – not only for us, but also for all stakeholders in the fashion industry, nationally and internationally.

Another press conference is planned for the end of November, when we shall be introducing new concepts, partners and event formats. Preparations are already in full swing: we are having numerous discussions, sitting in workshops, activating partners, designers, publishers, politics and society so as to get a unique, fully formed event successfully up and running. Expectations are huge – and we intend to satisfy them. We are putting all our energy into this future-focussed project.

With the aim of being able to share our enthusiasm, we are planning a FFW Preview to present the new locations in Frankfurt am Main and the concepts to journalists, brands and retailers at the beginning of next year.

Until then, all we can say is this: stay curious. Stay optimistic. Because even though there won't be any events this coming January, the show does go on. True to form, that means there will be more business opportunities than ever before, along with innovative formats, events and conferences and a fully formed city concept that has never been imagined before.”

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:

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: 

“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.”

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."

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.

SEEK – The Voice of Street Culture

Seit Straßen- und Pop-Kultur mehr und mehr ineinander übergehen, wird es immer schwerer Leader von Followern zu unterscheiden. Es braucht eine Stimme, die klar zeigt, wer wofür steht – und die Leader brauchen eine Plattform, damit ihre Stimme gehört wird.

Da kommt SEEK ins Spiel.

Noch mit der Energie der letzten Saison in den Adern, startet die SEEK in die Berliner Modewoche vom 16. bis 18. Januar – alles im Namen der Voice of Street Culture. In der ARENA Berlin schafft SEEK Raum für kreative Brands, die das Straßenbild bestimmen. Auf der großen Ausstellungsfläche der ARENA Berlin können Besucher aktuelle Strömungen der kommenden Saison erleben – eingefangen und gefiltert durch den Blick der Community.

Führende Brands aus dem Bereich Menswear begegnen aufstrebenden Labels der Womenswear, während Unisexkollektionen für großes Umdenken stehen, indem sie das beste aus allen Welten kombinieren. Schuhe, Accessoires, Gadgets, Kosmetik, Papeterieartikel und Homewares, runden das Angebot originell ab und geben einen umfassenden Einblick in den Lifestyle der SEEK Community.

Schuhe, Accessoires, Gadgets, Kosmetik, Papeterieartikel und Homewares, runden das Angebot originell ab und geben einen umfassenden Einblick in den Lifestyle der SEEK Community.

HEADTURNERS

In einer Welt, die immer eintöniger erscheint, möchte man ganz besonders herausstechen. SEEK's selektive Auswahl von Labels mit unverkennbarem 'Signature Look',  gibt den Besuchern eine exklusive Preview  auf die Kollektionen, die den Ton für die nächste Saison angeben.

OUTDOOR & SPORTS

Nur weil die Temperaturen sinken, bedeutet das nicht, dass beim Kleidungsstil Abstriche gemacht werden müssen – das gilt vor allem für die Athleten unter uns. In der Herbst/Winter 2018/19 Saison statten die führenden Outdoor- und Sportswear Brands jeden mit Bewegungsdrang mit dem richtigen Equipment gegen alle Witterungen aus. Für cleane Looks und funktionale Styles stehen Brands wie Snow Peak, Filson, Topo Designs und Black Mountain Clothing Company. Ihnen zur Seite steht die endgültige Rückkehr der 90er Jahre sowie die frühen 2000er Jahre in Form von Karl Kani, Ellesse, FILA, Russel Athletic, FUBU, Champion Reverse Weave, Helly Hansen, Mitchell & Ness und vielen mehr.

BRAND NEW

Die SEEK hat sich dazu verpflichtet neue Strömungen so effektiv, effizient und aufregend wie möglich zu gestalten und so verspricht auch diese Saison zahlreiche Highlights. Zum Beispiel eine thematische Aufteilung der Halle. Die Bereiche werden farbcodiert und kennzeichnen unterschiedliche Bereiche. Unter der Überschrift Green Force finden die Besucher Mode- und Lifestyle Marken mit einem grünen und nachhaltigen Bewusstsein, wie Veja, Ecoalf, Kowtow, Maska und Mud Jeans. Daneben werden die Classics and Icons präsentiert mit zeitlosen Produkten wie denen von Armor Lux, Oliver Spencer und Porter-Yoshida Co. Im Bereich Craftsmanship werden Tradition und ehrliche Handwerkskunst groß geschrieben: mit dabei zum Beispiel Novesta, Norwegian Rain, Eat Dust, Filson, Pendleton Woolen Mills und Blue de Gênes. Strong Zeitgeist hingegen legt den Fokus auf marktstarke Helden des Alltags, wie Eastpak, Herschel Supply Co. und Rains. In der Kategorie Sports and Streetwear trifft man auf Kappa, Fila, Helly Hansen, Ellesse und viele andere.

Außerdem grenzt an die in der letzten Saison lancierten SEEK Houses, nun die Fläche der Trade Union, einem Areal, in dem der Fokus auf der konzentrierten Order in ruhiger Atmosphäre liegt. Die Besucher der SEEK Houses finden das Neueste von Birkenstock, Han Kjøbenhavn und Clarks Originals in umfangreicher Präsentation, während in der Trade Union Area die Vertreter von Porter-Yoshida & Co, Filson, Pendleton Woolen Mills, Monokel Eyewear und Shinola sich auf ihr Business fokussieren.

Recap- SEEK Messe in Berlin

Ein weiteres Mal sind drei Tage SEEK wie im Flug vergangen. Vom 04. bis 06. Juli 2017 kamen zahlreiche Besucher in die Arena Berlin. Auch diese Saison wurde klar: Die SEEK ist etwas Besonderes. Drei Tage voller Dynamik und Kommunikation zogen internationale Brancheninsider und Einkäufer auf das Arena-Gelände, um die neusten Kollektionen zu sehen, zu ordern, einander kennenzulernen und Ideen sowie Inspirationen auszutauschen. Sales Director Maren Wiebus blickt zurück auf die Highlights des Events und sagt: „Die Stimmung war großartig. Jetzt, da die SEEK als fester Bestandteil der Berliner Fashion Week etabliert ist, gibt es erst recht keine Zeit mehr, sich auszuruhen.” Der Auftakt einer großartigen Woche war der Launch des SEEK Magazines No. 6 im Fechtner Delikatessen auf der Torstraße – dem angesagten Lunch-Spot der Mitte-Crowd. Das Fechtner stellte zugleich die temporäre Heimat des “all-white-everything” Super Natural Pop-up-Shops der SEEK dar, der eine liebevoll in Szene gesetzte Auswahl kuratierter SEEK-Brands präsentierte.

Sales Director Maren Wiebus blickt zurück auf die Highlights des Events und sagt: „Die Stimmung war großartig. Jetzt, da die SEEK als fester Bestandteil der Berliner Fashion Week etabliert ist, gibt es erst recht keine Zeit mehr, sich auszuruhen.” Der Auftakt einer großartigen Woche war der Launch des SEEK Magazines No. 6 im Fechtner Delikatessen auf der Torstraße – dem angesagten Lunch-Spot der Mitte-Crowd. Das Fechtner stellte zugleich die temporäre Heimat des “all-white-everything” Super Natural Pop-up-Shops der SEEK dar, der eine liebevoll in Szene gesetzte Auswahl kuratierter SEEK-Brands präsentierte.
