For more than three decades, Who’s Next (WSN) has stood out as one of the key events in the fashion industry. Twice a year, in January and September, this international trade show brings together in Paris professionals from ready-to-wear, accessories, beauty, and lifestyle. A true showcase of trends, it offers a unique glimpse into the innovations shaping the industry.
Three Major Shows at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
In September 2025, and again in January 2026, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles will simultaneously host three international events organized by WSN:
-
Who’s Next: the flagship show dedicated to ready-to-wear, accessories, beauty, and lifestyle.
-
Interfilière: the world reference for materials and innovations in lingerie, swimwear, and activewear.
-
Bijorhca Paris: the only trade fair in France dedicated to jewelry, watchmaking, and technical accessories.
Together, these events offer visitors a complete panorama of the latest trends in fashion and design—all under one roof.

Who’s Next: launched in 1994, it attracts nearly 45,000 visitors each season—buyers, department stores, e-commerce platforms, journalists, stylists, and trend forecasters—seeking to identify the next big influences in the market.
