From March 1 to 4, six Brazilian brands will be in the French capital for the F/W edition of Tranoï, a traditional event held in parallel with Paris Fashion Week.
The group includes the Skazi, Iorane, Vitor Zerbinato and Arte Sacra apparel companies and two upscale accessories brands, Brennheisen Jewelry and Cerra D’ouro.

Attendance for the year’s first edition of the show is expected to be at around 10,000 during the event’s three days, including buyers from across Europe and visitors.
According to Lilian Kaddissi, Executive Manager at Texbrasil, the European market is competitive, which is why companies adapt their collections to this public’s tastes.
