Trade Fairs :
In the late twentieth century, fashion week became the standard name for biannual or annual trade fairs and fashion shows. For high-end designers' biannual presentations, the term collections has been widely used; for example, the Paris Collections or the Tokyo Collections, and the Moscow fairs that started in 2002 are identified by the abbreviation CPM (Collection Première Moscow, organized by Igedo).
Trade fairs have been known by a number of different names; in the 1970s, Hong Kong Fashion Week was called a Ready-to-Wear Festival.
