PARIS: The WHO’S NEXT catwalk show is a must-see during the trade show
. As addictive as ever, you’ll feel like watching it every day and maybe even twice a day!

Inspired and inspiring, this catwalk show – a lot more than a simple fashion show – is a real creative boost, a shot of adrenaline. Staged just like a music hall, it’s a dance show built around one specific theme each season that includes a wide range of creative talents.

VIRGINIE TOC – CHOREOGRAPHER. 

Virginie already has an impressive experience: collaborations with TV programs, actor coaching with Jean Dujardin and Gérard Jugnot or fashion show choreography for famous fashion designers and brands, from Adidas to Fatima Lopez. The June 2012 catwalk show is her 11th collaboration with WHO’S NEXT.

This coming June edition, the main theme is Middle Age. Always with a dash of humor, the show plays on the medieval/contemporary paradox.
Forty brands from the various trade show areas – clothes and accessories-, will present the SS 2013 key looks in a very festive jousting mood!
