was the motto of the CPD Dusseldorf from the 27th to the 29th of July 2008. The new, successful trend-zone, which in collaboration with the DMI and the textile industry with the order-info brought to the point, what has to be in the business for the spring/summer season 2009. Supersize, maternity, concept-area 11 and organic collections also were important areas at the CPD, which all in all had less trade visitors than last year.

t midsummery temperatures, the visit of the "Little Italy" in-between the exhibition halls, with fine-grained sand, bathing-cabins, canvas-chairs and party-music has been a very convenient destination to watch tangy young fashion from 30 innovative designers and fashion-labels.
Alltogether, fashion is admitting to colour and decorative designs. Red, yellow, green and pink could be seen in every collection and at the Body-Look, footprints made of corals, seaweed and mermaids, as well as effectual colour-blockings, could be seen. At the HMD, except of the once again staged business-area, metropolitan luxury-casualwear in red tones and pastels could also be seen again.
