Première Vision Paris announced that its September 2016 edition
welcomed a total of 56,475 trade visitors with 1,898 companies exhibiting to the fair that took place September 13 - 15 2016 at Parc des Expositions, north Paris in Villepinte.
(September 2016) There are discussions often among members of the fashion and textiles industry on whether trade fairs are still relevant in today's ever challenging global economic environment.
Yet it is through strategic trade fairs that the industry leaders, influencers, movers and shakers can meet and exchange ideas, and such 'meeting of minds' would be instrumental in helping members of the industry to cope and tackle the challenges that they face in their everyday business life.
Thus it is very encouraging that international trade fairs events continue to draw great numbers as it is crucial for great minds to meet and get a first-hand feel of the state of the affairs, and give support and contribution to each other's business.
Première Vision Paris Organisers were pleased with the continued success of the event, saying the overall visitor figures remained unrivalled in the sector, thus confirming the dominant influence and leadership of the unique PV brand among the global players of professional fashion-industry events.
The released figures represented an improvement over the February 2016 edition, with growth in both attendance (+ 2.7%) and the number of exhibitors (+ 10%). Some 73% of the trade visitors came from 126 countries outside France.
While compared with the September 2015 edition, the September event this year showed a slight decline in exhibitors' number (- 1.3%) and in attendance (- 8.8%), the positioning of PV Paris is still solid, taking into account the political tension and security concerns impacted on the French, and with the challenge of weaker market growth in emerging markets such as China and also in Russia and Brazil, and a downturn in global textile-clothing and leather consumption (- 0.3% in 2015).
Première Vision Paris prides itself on its ability to bring together the full diversity of the fashion industry, from decision makers to creatives, journalists, buyers and suppliers, independent designers, small fashion houses to international groups and retailers, chain stores and luxury houses, medium to high-end fashion and accessory brands.
The next Premiere Vision Paris which will again held over three days, will take place from 7th February to the 9th February 2017 in Paris, France. This event will showcase Sprijng/Summer 2018 collections from Fabrics to Yarns, Accessories, Leather, Textile Designs and Finished Garments.
