Textile Fair: Première Vision Paris Returns This September with a Focus on Innovation and Technology, Expanding Horizons with Beauty and Strategic Insight

The global textile and fashion industry will once again turn its attention to the French capital this September as Première Vision Paris returns to its historical autumn slot with a forward-looking edition centered on Innovation and Technology, and Beauty,  in response to the industry's rapidly shifting landscape. Taking place from September 16 to 18 at the Parc des Expositions, Paris Nord Villepinte, the event will welcome more than 1,000 exhibitors, including over 100 (12%) first-time participants, marking a significant milestone in the trade show’s evolution, underscoring the event’s growing international reach and relevance.

“Première Vision Paris’ return to its historical calendar and the ambitious programming of this edition reflect the ongoing changes aimed at better meeting the strong expectations of brands and manufacturers,” said Florence Rousson, Chairwoman of the Executive Board of Première Vision and CEO of the Fashion Division of GL events. “This event supports the future of fashion — resolutely innovative and responsible — while welcoming over a hundred new leading players in search of opportunities and development.”

This year’s seasonal theme, “Synesthesia”, invites visitors to explore multisensory creativity, with a particular emphasis on the interplay between fashion and beauty. For the first time, the beauty sector will be featured across key activations and in the immersive Prospective Area — an inspiring central space designed to showcase future-facing concepts and industry intersections. With the theme of “Connections”, the space reflects relationships between materials and beauty, technology and emotion, and innovation and industry.

Complementing the trend-led environments, the show introduces a new Talks Stage devoted to Fashion and Beauty, and a broader, more strategic conference programme. This includes four critical themes designed to help industry players anticipate market shifts:

  • Innovation & Technology for Creativity and Product Design

  • Innovation & Technology for Strategic Sourcing and Production

  • Innovation & Technology for Positive Impact

  • Innovation & Technology for 2030

To enhance business engagement, Première Vision Paris will host 150 selected guests, guiding them through bespoke, curated journeys tailored to unlock growth opportunities. In addition, pre-arranged business meetings will be held throughout the three-day event, fostering commercial partnerships and creative collaborations.

Attendees can also take part in six thematic walkthroughs, offering structured navigation across key zones — from the Prospective Area to Décor, Citywear, Eco-Innovation, Bags & Shoes, Sport & Lingerie, and a dedicated France-focused route.

The Première Vision mobile app returns as an essential digital companion, allowing users to schedule meetings, create personalised itineraries, track favourites, and follow curated visit routes for an optimised experience.

In its role as a strategic hub, Première Vision Paris aims to help industry professionals detect early signals, anticipate trends, and collectively build a resilient, sustainable, and high-performing fashion ecosystem. With change becoming both constant and imperative, the fair positions itself as a reliable ally for brands ready to embrace innovation and lead transformation.

In support of this vision, Première Vision, in collaboration with ANDAM, will host a dedicated Innovation Prize Showcase at the heart of Hall 5, featuring the 10 finalists of the 2025 Innovation Prize. These pioneers in textile recycling, bio-based materials, artificial intelligence, and responsible production represent the cutting edge of global fashion-tech:

  • Losanje, winner of the 2025 Innovation Prize

  • Goldeneye Smart Vision, Special Jury Prize recipient

  • ER Ocean Recherche, Bioastra, Supercab, Smobya, Rodinia Generation, Petshka, Weffan, and Alphalyr

Adding to this, CLO, a major player in the 3D fashion technology space, will make its debut appearance at Première Vision Paris. Over three days, CLO will present a 250 m² immersive experience adjacent to the Smart Creation area, highlighting 3D simulation, digitalisation, and eco-design. The rarely seen showcase will be staffed by CLO’s international and French teams, offering a unique opportunity for direct engagement with one of the industry’s leading digital innovators.

Across the exhibition, six Focus Areas will provide targeted insight into major sectors of the fashion ecosystem:

  • DECORATION Focus

  • SMART, YARNS & ECO-INNOVATION Focus

  • CITYWEAR & CASUAL WEAR Focus

  • MANUFACTURING, SPORT & LINGERIE Focus

  • BAGS, SHOES & LEATHERWEAR Focus

  • ACCESSORIES INDEX

With a future-facing vision that blends technology, creativity, and sustainability, Première Vision Paris September 2025 is poised to be a pivotal event — offering industry professionals an unmatched platform to network, collaborate, and redefine the future of fashion.
