FASHIONIST
Our objective in 2016 is to
maintain the level of success
obtained within the first two
years of the fair and to create
a big commercial volume by
enabling companies to sign new
collaborations.
Having organized Fashionist for two years, immediately
following the fair, we started working on the preparations
for the third one. Some of the the work we will be doing
during the next fair is included in this dossier. Our
objective in 2016 is to maintain the level of success
obtained within the first two years of the fair and to create
a big commercial volume by enabling companies to sign
new collaborations. In its third year as well, Fashionist
will be among the works closely followed by fashion
professionals as it promotes Istanbul on its path to
becoming a world brand with its manufacturing capacity
and product quality. We aim Fashionist 2016 to be the first
venue where evening gowns, wedding dresses and suits
are seen so mark your calendars already.
We hope to see you in Istanbul between January
14-16, 2016...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The second Fashionist Evening Gowns, Wedding Dresses and Suits Fair was held at Istanbul Congress Center and Istanbul
Lutfi Kirdar halls between November 21-23, 2014 and hosted industry professionals from 72 countries. The fair signaled that
the success obtained during the initial year, will be increasing growingly. This achievement was made possible by the Patika
Fair Organization team, who worked intensively shaping their efforts in the light of the evaluation made with the exhibitor
companies and OTIAD fair committee, immediately following the first fair.
We extend our thanks to the OTIAD fair committee president and members, who have worked as hard as the Patika team; to
IHKIB, ITHIB, and ITO, which are among the most important associations of the industry; and to our participants, who have
believed in this grand organization held in Istanbul and who have been with us from day one.
Following the two successful years we have had, on January 14-16, 2016, we look forward to seeing all companies that
would like to participate in the third Fashionist Evening Gowns, Wedding Dresses and Suits Fair and who would like to
establish new commercial relations in Istanbul, the gate on the world for the Middle East, Russia, and Central Asia.
