Première Vision Paris, scheduled for 4–6 July, will be a revamped edition with the spotlight on the changing imperatives of an industry brought on by the pandemic, the global geopolitical crisis, and climate change that is impacting the entire fashion-textile-footwear value chain.
The redesigned event will focus on the following key areas:
- Eco-responsibility;
- An evolved show layout and the creation of a PV Hub dedicated to innovation;
- A (r)evolutionary approach to fashion information and the trend forums;
- In this evolving context, the world’s creative fashion professionals will come together at the Parc des Expositions de Paris Nord Villepinte to find inspiration, exchange ideas and build their new collections of ready-to-wear, accessories (fashion jewellery, leather goods) and footwear for the Autumn/Winter 24/25 season.
- A Smart Creation area will be dedicated to responsible innovations from 56 exhibitors: materials and finishings, technological solutions and services—products and services for more sustainable fashions, along with an eco-innovation area.
Visitors: A total of 1,293 exhibitors, up 14% over July 2022, from 45 countries will include spinners, weavers, tanners, textile designers, accessory and component makers, and garment manufacturers chosen by committees of professionals and experts. They will flock to the event from Italy, France, the UK, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia, Japan, Korea, India, and China.
- In an attempt to analyse the responsible initiatives of its exhibitors, and highlight these efforts to buyers and visitors, both during the shows and on the Première Vision Marketplace, Première Vision Paris has initiated ‘A better way’ programme for sourcing stakeholders across the value chain, with participation from more than 260 exhibitors.
- For manufacturers: Capitalise on current and future investments and initiatives, which are both competitive and creative advantages; contribute to the development of their business through new tools to communicate their sustainable initiatives.
- For buyers: Analyse the sustainability landscape of the industry and its players; facilitate sourcing of materials and the search for committed partners through a clear, certified guide to the show’s sustainable offer.
LABELS & CERTIFICATES: Deployed on a voluntary basis for exhibitors, a new eco-responsible labelling system will be implemented at the July edition. Random checks of exhibitors’ declarations will be carried out on a sample equivalent to 10% of participating companies, to verify the accuracy of the answers provided.
A NEW 100% LEATHER HALL: This is one of the show’s main innovations this summer: the Leather sector will bring together the entire leather and hides industry.
- There will be the usual lot of talk shows, launch of white papers to shed light on the industry’s key sustainability issues, and fashion seminars to attend live at the show.
WHAT THEY SAID:
This second edition of Première Vision Paris on the new July calendar is full of new features. A new step has been taken, and we are particularly pleased to support the sector in its environmentally responsible transition with the new PV program, A Better Way. This initiative, which we’ve been working on for over a year, aims to simplify buyers day-to-day work and help guide them, while decoding and promoting the real advances made by the textile industry and its investments in favor of more sustainable fashion. More than 260 manufacturers are already eligible for this program. I would add that the launch of the deadstock offer meets a complementary and growing need across all our markets.
