The Russian fashion and textile industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation. With the departure of many Western brands and the simultaneous rise of domestic labels, new trade flows from Asia, and a national focus on “technological sovereignty,” the country’s exhibition landscape has never been more dynamic or essential. In 2026, Moscow’s premier venues—most notably Crocus Expo—are hosting a packed calendar of events that cater to every segment of the industry, from luxury designer wear and high-street fashion to technical textiles, lingerie, and children’s clothing.
These exhibitions are no longer just about viewing collections; they are strategic hubs for sourcing new partners, securing raw materials, understanding shifting consumer trends, and navigating the complexities of the Russian market. Here is a detailed guide to the major clothing and fashion industry exhibitions in Russia for 2026.
The Flagship Event: CPM – Collection Première Moscow
If there is a single event that defines the Russian fashion calendar, it is CPM – Collection Première Moscow. Recognized as the largest international fashion trade show in Russia and the EAEU countries, this biannual event is the undisputed heavyweight of the industry.
Autumn 2026 Edition: 46th Season
The upcoming 46th season is scheduled for 1–4 September 2026 at Crocus Expo. This edition will open the autumn business season and is expected to gather up to 20,000 industry participants, from manufacturers and distributors to top retailers. The exposition will feature collections for Spring-Summer 2027, with over 900 brands from 28 countries presenting their latest lines.
What to Expect:
- Diverse Segments: The exhibition covers the full spectrum of fashion, including women’s and men’s casual, business, and special occasion wear, as well as lingerie, homewear, fitness and sleepwear, shoes, and accessories.
- International Participation: Exhibitors come from Russia, Belarus, Italy, Turkey, India, China, and many other nations, reflecting the new trade realities.
- Business Forum: The accompanying Russian Fashion Retail Forum is a major draw, uniting 200 top speakers and 2,000 visitors. Representatives from market giants like Sberbank, Yandex, Ozon, Wildberries, Lamoda, Melon Fashion Group, and Fashion Consulting Group will lead discussions on business transformation and market strategies.
- Fashion Shows: The CPM catwalk remains a premier platform for renowned designers. The September schedule includes presentations by Igor Chapurin, Alena Akhmadullina, Sergey Sysoev, and international brands such as Sarah Pacini, Caterina Leman, Chantelle, and Simone Pérèle.
Spring 2026 Edition: 45th Season
The spring edition took place from 17–20 February 2026, presenting Autumn-Winter 2026/27 collections. The event featured 700 brands from 23 countries and was opened by a special show from the Tatyana Parfenova Fashion House. Key zones included the dreams by CPM lingerie section and the CPM shop & retail solutions area for retail technology.
The Specialized Salons: Textiles, Lingerie, and More
While CPM dominates the finished clothing segment, Moscow hosts a range of specialized exhibitions that serve the supply chain and niche markets. Most of these run concurrently or in close proximity to CPM, creating a mega-cluster for the industry at Crocus Expo.
Textile Salon
Held alongside the September CPM, the Textile Salon is Russia’s largest exhibition of fabrics for clothing production by number of represented factories. It is a critical sourcing event for manufacturers looking for high-quality materials and accessories. The September 2026 edition will run from 2–4 September. Over 17,800 professional visitors attended the 2025 edition, indicating its importance to the industry.
INTERFABRIC
Another major textile event, the 19th Industry-wide textile and apparel exhibition INTERFABRIC-2026. SPRING, took place from 17–19 March 2026 at Crocus Expo. Billed as the largest textile fair in Russia and the CIS, the spring edition hosted over 500 foreign exhibitors, including a massive contingent of 167 Chinese companies—the largest foreign delegation. The event’s motto, “Textile Industry 2026: Course on Sovereignty,” underscored the industry-wide push for domestic production and new international partnerships.
dreams by CPM (Lingerie and Homewear)
This specialized salon focuses on the intimate apparel and loungewear sector. Co-located with the main CPM event, dreams by CPM brings together all thematic areas related to the production, distribution, and sales of lingerie, beach fashion, homewear, fitness apparel, and erotic lingerie. It is a dedicated space for buyers and suppliers in this specific segment.
CJF – Children’s Fashion
For the children’s wear segment, CJF – Children’s Fashion is the key event. It serves as an international communication platform for the children’s fashion industry, uniting manufacturers, distributors, buyers, and designers twice a year alongside the main CPM expo.
The Strategic Importance of Russia’s Fashion Expos
The current landscape of Russian clothing exhibitions reflects deeper shifts in the market:
- Import Substitution and “Technological Sovereignty”: The departure of Western brands has created a vacuum that local manufacturers are eager to fill. However, they lack certain raw materials and technologies. Exhibitions like INTERFABRIC and Textile Salon have become critical platforms for finding alternative suppliers from China, Turkey, India, and Iran. Business programs now focus on localization strategies and adapting to new supply chains.
- The Rise of E-Commerce: The strong presence of online giants like Wildberries, Ozon, Yandex, and Lamoda at the CPM business forum highlights how digital marketplaces have transformed Russian retail. These platforms are no longer just sales channels; they are trendsetters and essential partners for any brand entering the market.
- Moscow as the Regional Hub: Despite global shifts, Moscow remains the undisputed hub for the fashion industry across the CIS and Central Asia. Retailers and distributors from all eight federal districts of Russia and neighboring countries attend these exhibitions to place pre-orders for the coming seasons.
Practical Information for Visitors
- Venue: The vast majority of major clothing exhibitions in 2026 are held at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center, located near the Myakinino metro station on the outskirts of Moscow.
- Registration: Many events offer free entry with online pre-registration. It is highly recommended to register on the official exhibition websites prior to arrival.
- Timing: The key seasons are February (for Autumn/Winter collections) and late August/early September (for Spring/Summer collections). Planning a trip around the “Moscow Fashion Week” of exhibitions in early September allows a visitor to cover CPM, Textile Salon, dreams by CPM, and CJF in one trip.

The Russian clothing exhibition scene in 2026 is a story of resilience, adaptation, and opportunity. While the glamour of a consumer-facing fashion week remains, the real engine of the industry is now found in the B2B halls of Crocus Expo. Events like CPM Moscow and the specialized textile salons have evolved from simple trade shows into strategic command centers. They are the places where new partnerships are forged, where the search for alternative materials succeeds, and where the future of fashion in Russia is designed.
For any brand, supplier, or retailer looking to understand—or conquer—the Russian market, these exhibitions are not optional. They are essential.
