Première Vision: Following new rules
Paris, France - This July 4, 5 & 6, Première Vision Paris will open its doors on an edition that's been redesigned to meet the challenges of the sector's transformation, driven by the transition to sustainability, regulatory changes, the impact of the pandemic on clothing consumption, the implications of the geopolitical crisis, the new needs of buyers within fashion brands, adaptation strategies for supply chains, and the new challenges facing manufacturers.
The event has been completely revamped with a focus on 3 priority areas:
- Eco-responsibility as the new paradigm at the heart of the repositioning of the show and its offer, thanks to the new a better way program.
- 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 jewelry, leather goods) and footwear for the Autumn-Winter 24-25 season. An edition featuring a wealth of new products and sources of inspiration, services and programming.
Visitors will discover the creative proposals and developments of nearly 1,300 exhibitors (1,293) from 45 countries chosen by Committees of professionals and experts. An international, high-quality offer up 14% over July 2022 (1,132 exhibitors), and up 4% over. February 2023 (1,245 exhibitors).
