Trade Shows & Trends
SPRING/SUMMER 2026 The trade fairs by Elly Stemerdink
This summer, FASHN ROOMS in Düsseldorf changed its name to TWODAYS and also moved to a new location, making it a little challenging for customers to find their way back to the event. Despite its name, the event lasted three days, and was spread across two separate venues connected by a shuttle service. All hat brands were grouped together in one area, with no other accessory labels included. Feedback from exhibitors about this new set-up was mixed but generally positive. In Paris, several familiar names returned to Who’s Next and Première Classe. Céline Robert reappeared with a new collection of palm straw hats under the name Célune at Porte de Versailles. Eugenia Jiménez and Mühlbauer returned to Première Classe, while Mademoiselle Chapeaux, known for its Paris hat shop, exhibited there for the first time.
The trends
Hat styles shown at the trade shows have evolved notably in recent years. The extravagant and heavily embellished designs once seen on the trade floor have largely disappeared. Collections are now more pared back, with emphasis on material quality and subtle details. This shift towards simplicity had its start before the pandemic, but that period accelerated the move towards comfort and wearability – a mood that looks set to stay. Occasionwear plays only a minor role at the fairs nowadays, reflecting reduced demand. Many brands that once included formal hats in their largely casual collections now present casual styles enhanced with decorative touches or premium materials instead, making them suitable for both everyday and special occasions. Baseball caps remain central within casual headwear, in keeping with the season’s emphasis on comfort.
