Première Vision Paris Organisers gearing up for February 2019 edition

Come this February, fashion, textiles and design professionals around the world as well as all interested in the latest technology in materials, garments and accessories, will be heading to Paris for another edition of Première Vision Paris.

Among highlights on the show programme will be new initiatives supporting young design talent, including the hosting of the finalists from the 34th Hyères Festival of Fashion, Photography and Fashion Accessories competition as well as a collaboration with young designer DAWEI - a 2018 and 2019 Designers Apartment talent – whose design will manifest as the show's hostesses’ outfits.  Dawei Sun is known for pairing his  Chinese roots with years of experience in Paris working with the likes of Balenciaga, John Galliano and Cacharel with an East meets West point-of-view.

Organisers for Première Vision Paris, due to take place 12 to 14 February at Parc des Expositions in Villepinte, north of Paris, advised that some 1,777 international exhibitors from 50 countries, including 161 new companies, will be on hand to showcase their latest and the most relevant on offer.

Organisers also revealed that the show will see an overall increase of 3% in exhibitor numbers, as compared to the February 2018 event.  As in previous events, the February show will be covering yarns, fabrics, leather, designs, accessories and manufacturing to meet the diverse needs of the respective industries.

Scheduled in the February edition will be the Third edition of the highly popular WEARABLE LAB platform, which is dedicated to Fashion Tech.  This year, the Augmented Man will be set up in partnership with the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode to shed light on innovative materials, technologies and services. 

Spotlight will also be shed on exceptional artisanship and know-hows in the MAISON D’EXCEPTIONS section – now in its eighth edition, as well as sourcing solutions under PREMIÈRE VISION MANUFACTURING; and surface and textile designs under PREMIÈRE VISION DESIGNS.

To help industry professionals in their decisions for putting together their new collections, there will also be a programme of exclusive fashion seminars from the Première Vision fashion team to decode key trends for the Spring Summer 2020 season.  Additionally a selection of special meetings dedicated to topical issues will take place, and for those interested in new developments in the leather industry, there is a new collaboration between the French luxury leather goods brand Ephyre and Première Vision Accessories.  These are just a few of the highlights.
