Fabric Trade Fair: BLOSSOM PREMIÈRE VISION welcomed more than 1,000 visitors in December 2023

The 11th edition of BLOSSOM PREMIÈRE VISION closed on Thursday December 14th, having showcased 74 exhibitors and welcomed 1,086 visitors over two days at the Carreau du Temple in Paris. 

The event - exclusively dedicated to the pre-collections of luxury and high-end ready-to-wear suppliers for the Spring-Summer 25 season - was notable for exhibitors’ presentations of numerous new textiles, leathers and accessories, by the high attendance at workshops for more responsible sourcing, and by visitor quality.

Among the visitors 75% were French and 28% were international trade visitors - primarily from Italy, Belgium, the UK, Poland, Germany, Japan, Spain, the Netherlands, and the US.

This edition was once again based on a selective, high-quality creative offer from international suppliers of fabrics (59), leather (7), accessories (7) and services (1), hailing from France (18), Italy (48), Japan (3), the UK (1), Portugal (3) and Spain (1).

In addition, two workshops led by Ariane Bigot (Associate Fashion Director), held on the first day of the event, were filled to capacity. In recent years, the central role of materials has become even more pertinent. Current environmental challenges have reaffirmed the crucial importance of the choice of materials in the collection development process.

The goal of the workshops was to offer participants the keys to more eco-responsible sourcing by exploring a selection of materials from exhibitors’ collections over the course of two two-hour sessions. Participants expressed their satisfaction and left with a deeper understanding of how to source fabric ethically, said organisers.

Upcoming events are Première Vision New York on January 17 and 18, 2024, then Première Vision Paris from February 6 to 8, 2024.
