Around 200 brands have already confirmed their presence at CFC | Key4Communications |

Five weeks before Children's Fashion Cologne begins, around 200 labels from 18 countries have confirmed their participation at the trade fair, which opens its doors at the Koelnmesse from 10 to 12 July 2014.

International top labels that have registered to participate so far include among others Converse, Esprit Maternity, GAS, Mayoral, Mexx, Oilily, Pepe Jeans London, Replay & Sons, Sanetta, and XS-EXES. Also, the organization explains that numerous trade and purchasing associations will also participate, including the Federal Association of the German Textile Retail Trade (BTE), the EK/servicegroup, the Katag, the German Association of Commercial Agencies and Distribution (CDH), and the Dutch association, INRetail. Furthermore, the BTE will also be offering an "industry get-together" each morning on every day of the fair, during the course of which members and interested parties can gain information.

The show is also awarding a prize for the first time this year. The CFC YoungStars Award addresses newcomers from the baby and children's fashion design sector. Aspiring fashion designers will be given the opportunity to present themselves and their own collections and designs to an expert jury comprising of industry representatives. The winner will be selected from the three best entries on 9 July and as well as receiving prize-money will also be given the opportunity to present his/her collection at an exhibition stand at the CFC winter edition in 2015.

Children's Fashion Cologne will also offer its "Pimp my Shop NOW" campaign, addressed to small and medium-sized distributors, who can seek free advice from the experts regarding the modernisation or redesign of their stores. The fair will host once more the Luna Fashion Shows.
