From February 11 to 13, 2025, Première Vision Paris will return to the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, gathering key players from the creative and sustainable fashion industry. From diffusion to luxury, this event offers trade visitors a unique chance to connect with experts from across the globe and explore the Spring-Summer 2026 collections.
This is the first of two scheduled Première Vision Paris events in 2025, with a spotlight on know-how - a term that encompasses practical knowledge, expertise, craftsmanship, and innovation, whether rooted in contemporary techniques or ancestral traditions. The event will showcase the latest advancements in textiles, leather, accessories, and design.
Exhibitors will include spinners, weavers, tanners, designers, accessory manufacturers, and garment makers from around 40 countries, including Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Japan, the United Kingdom, Belgium, South Korea, Turkey, and China. Over 1,060 exhibitors will present their specialties and innovations, offering a comprehensive view of the industry's evolving landscape.
According to organisers, the fashion industry is at a pivotal moment, grappling with a "crisis of value and values." Confronted by economic, ecological, energy-related, and existential challenges, the sector faces a historic turning point. In this context, know-how serves as a vital touchstone, offering solutions for contemporary challenges. Preserved and reimagined by dedicated artisans, artists, industrialists, and a resilient new generation, know-how provides a framework for rethinking and resetting the fashion system.
"Committed and innovative, the key players in our industry are reintroducing circularity and regeneration, favouring alternative processes, smaller scales, sustainability, and long-term thinking, " says Florence Rousson, President of the Première Vision Management Board.
"By expressing themselves through new creative approaches, valuing unprecedented lifestyles, and engaging with their time through social media, these actors are reinventing a sector in search of meaning. Bearers of culture, energy, and inspiration, they embody both historical and forward-looking richness, economic and intangible value, innovation and preservation.
"This is why we have decided to place their know-how at the heart of the February 2025 edition and future February editions. From the fashion forums to the conference stages, craftsmanship will be celebrated from all angles, with contributions from experts, institutions, exhibitors, federations, schools, artists, and artisans. Present and future-oriented for all sectors, from diffusion to luxury, know-how stands as a major source of inspiration for rethinking the fashion of tomorrow,” says Rousson.
To showcase know-how at the fair, there will be an Inspiration Forum (Hall 5)*, where stories of interwoven craftsmanship related to the SS26 season will be unveiled, and a selection of leathers from French tanneries, dyed in the colours of the Première Vision range, will be showcased.
On the programme will also be 16 conferences and various "pitches" from exhibitors in the Tech Area, a keynote speech by Paul Mouginot, Scientific Advisor for Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) and guided tours on fashion technology. The Maison d’Exceptions will be set up. This is a dedicated space for showing artisanal craftsmanship, topped off with an embroidery demonstration.
The Origin of a Textile Lexicon will be launched, with the first chapter set to be published in early February, focusing on Fibres (synthetic, artificial, animal, etc.). This format catalogs and deciphers textile materials, identifying the characteristics of each fibre, from the most traditional to the most innovative.
New textile trends will be presented by the fair's fashion team, which highlights that the SPRING-SUMMER 26 SEASON offers a reflection on our lifestyles, habits and the impact of the fashion industry, under three themes: RE-FRESH, RE-SET and RE-STORE.
"This season, emerging trends highlight craftsmanship, versatility, innovation, and sustainability. There is a strong enthusiasm for lightweight, airy materials inspired by outdoor sports. Comfort is being redefined with cozy, flexible textiles, ranging from sportswear to streetwear. Sustainability takes center stage, with recycled and bio-based composite materials." says Desolina Suter, Fashion Director, Première Vision.
*The three themes can be explored at the Inspiration Forum:
RE-FRESH: The season delves into airy structures and textile craftsmanship, combining industrial techniques with natural solutions while addressing current climate challenges.
RE-SET: The season highlights satins adorned with virtuoso embellishments, showcasing the excellence of both industrial and artisanal know-how.
RE-STORE: The season focuses on indigo and practices of recycling and upcycling, promoting responsible industrial craftsmanship for sustainable fashion.
Mathilde Hiron, a finalist in the Accessories competition of the 38th Hyères International Festival of Fashion, Photography, and Accessories, will unveil her creations made in collaboration with French tanners for the occasion.
The Sourcing Solutions Forum (Hall 6) will also present the new directions for the Spring-Summer 26 season.
While there will be audio-guides available in French, English, Italian, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese, other tools to help buyers make decisions for their collection will include a new Accessories Index, designed to simplify accessory sourcing, as well as the PV Color Book presenting Première Vision’s own colour range.
