A Unique Exhibition that Balances Designer Development & International Influence

TRANOÏ was launched in Paris in 1998. With over 25 years of history, what led to its establishment? Tsushima explained:

"At the time of its founding, there were few venues for innovative and unique designers to gain attention in the fashion industry, so TRANOÏ was established to fill that gap. The name TRANOÏ means 'between us' in Italian, reflecting the idea of creating a direct connection between designers and buyers."
