Come this July 4, 5 & 6, Première Vision Paris will once again play host to the world's textile and fashion professionals congregating at Parc d' Expositions in Villepente, north Paris for the international trade show.
After making schedule adjustments to adapt to a new calendar since 2022, Première Vision Paris now takes a new step forward to better align with evolutions ongoing in the global fashion market.
Organisers say this edition, which will focus on Autumn-Winter 24-25 collections, has been redesigned to meet the many challenges the textile and fashion industries are facing today, resulting in transformations driven by the transition to sustainability, regulatory changes, the impact of the pandemic on consumers' 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.

Marking a turning point for the show, the July show will see major changes in four key areas:
First of all, Eco-responsibility is the new paradigm at the heart of the repositioning of the show and its offer, thanks to the new a better way programme.
Secondly, an evolved show layout and the creation of a PV Hub dedicated to innovation.
Third is 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.

Gilles Lasbordes, Managing Director of Première Vision 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 programme, 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 programme.
"I would add that the launch of the deadstock offer meets a complementary and growing need across all our markets."
