Marketing - Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / FashionUnited debuts in Russia
English term or phrase: profashionals
Olga Steinberg, Country Manager Russia, says: “It is an interesting fact that until now there was no online b2b platform over here that combined trade news, communication tools and industry job boards. Due to historical and economical reasons, Russia’s fashion business community differs from Europe, which is in scope with the specific picture of the branch itself. We are positive about the launch, which promises to become an effective tool for Russian PROFASHIONALS.”

La traduction "professionnels russes de la mode" ne me semble pas respecter le style du texte anglais qui utilise un jeu de mot.
Est-il possible en français de trouver une expression du même genre ?
Merci.
