Statement from Gilles Lasbordes, Managing Director of Première Vision
"Nearly one out of two European consumers say they purchased at least one responsible fashion product in 2019.   A survey conducted within the framework of the IFM Première Vision Chair in late 2019 confirms the fact that buying eco-responsible fashion is no longer just a trend, but a major groundswell now impacting the entire industry. Our role at Première Vision is to assist the international fashion industry in its shift towards eco-designed fashion, in alignment with consumer expectations.

That's why we put eco-responsibility at the core of all our activities, and front and centre at our flagship event Première Vision Paris. For this reason, The Smart Creation area, which is dedicated to new creative and production approaches, is now part of the February show as well as the September show, where it has been featured since 2015. We believe it is crucial to give our visitors a fresh line-up of exhibitors with innovative solutions for sustainable fashion at each of our shows.

In all, 1,755 exhibitors from across the globe will gather at Première Vision Paris in February 2020 to inspire visitors with their latest innovations for spring-summer 21. I look forward to seeing you this coming 11 to 13 February at Paris Nord Villepinte se we can work together to forge tomorrow's fashion: creative, innovative and respectful of our planet."
