MarediModa Cannes: Time to Register

Registration is now open for visitors to MarediModa Cannes, which this year will take place earlier than usual, from October 22 to 24 (note: Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday), as always at the Palais des Festivals. There is great anticipation for this upcoming edition—not only for the event’s uniquely comprehensive offering, but also for the array of additional content recently finalized and designed to provide fresh, strategic insights for the industry’s development. A concentrated mix of creativity and networking that captures the zeitgeist of beachwear, lingerie, and athleisure fashion.

At the heart of the show are the Summer 2027 collections, showcased in a stunning seaside trend area, where visitors can immerse themselves in the major themes shaping the future. This year’s research, curated by David Shah and his team, is titled “Making Waves”—highlighting the power to create momentum, spark vibrations, and inspire genuine stimuli.

The exhibition also features the entire textile design supply chain, the most qualified third-party manufacturers, an athleisure prototype gallery, fashion shows, conferences and trend talks, as well as accessories, labels, and packaging solutions.

A key highlight is The Link competition, one of the longest-running contests for young creatives, which once again has attracted bold talents from top European design schools. These designers will present their collections at the fair and take center stage during the iconic MarediModa Party on October 23, where the winners will be revealed during a runway show.

This is a one-of-a-kind, must-attend event—far more substantial than the small, regional meetings organized by agents, which play only a complementary role to what is widely recognized as a unique and globally significant event.
