PREMIÈRE VISION PARIS: Confirmed increased dynamism in fashion
The Paris Nord Villepinte event centre was once again the venue for a new edition of the French supplier fair for the fashion industry.
PREMIÈRE VISION PARIS took place from July 2 to 4 in halls 5 and 6, which were segmented into categories such as LEATHER and SKINS, FABRICS, YARNS, ACCESSORIES, DESIGN, and MANUFACTURING.
Prior to the event, Florence Rousson, President of the Executive Committee of Première Vision, stated: “This year, the exhibitors at Première Vision Paris will be spread across two halls, the busiest ones at Parc des Expositions Paris Nord Villepinte, in a reorganized layout better aligned with the event’s offerings.”
In this context, the proposals for the Fall/Winter 2025-2026 season were aimed at the creation of footwear, prêt-à-porter, leather goods, and costume jewelry collections.
The fair featured 930 exhibiting companies from more than 40 countries, including local businesses and those from Italy, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Türkiye, Japan, China, and South Korea.
In terms of attendance, approximately 8,000 companies were present at this edition, representing over 115 nations, according to the event organizers.
In February, the Inspiration Forum dedicated a space to the Leather area with an innovative project. For the occasion, experienced tanneries from France were invited to present their proposals in two versions: one focused on minimalist and pure materials, and the other featuring finishes by Les Teintures de France.
Among the complementary activities, the Matchmaking session stood out, tripling the results of the previous February edition, with 1,500 appointments between exhibitors and 230 international representatives.
Other initiatives at PREMIÈRE VISION PARIS included A Better Way (sustainable practices), Deadstocks (unused materials), and various seminars, forums, and talks providing valuable information for the sector.
In 2025, PREMIÈRE VISION PARIS will take place from Tuesday, February 11 to Thursday, February 13, at the Paris Nord Villepinte convention center.
