Premiere Vision Paris welcomed 56,000 visitors in its September 2019 trade fair

Despite a challenging trading and economic climate, including concerns surrounding Brexit in the UK, a continued decline in fashion consumption globally, and a crowded European trade events calendar bracketing the show,  organisers at Premiere Vision Paris  can hold their heads high that their international trade fair attracted more than 56,000 professional visitors from around the world.

The September 2019 edition of Premiere Vision Paris, which took place between 17 and 19 September, maintains its much-valued position as a meeting place for all in textile and apparel industries in  search of market trends, inspiration and innovation that drive their professional life, including eco-responsible apparel, and the continuous strong ties between fashion and sport, while supporting innovation and creative talent.

There were 2,056 exhibitors, including 230 newcomers, presenting their latest on offer covering textiles, technical developments, smart products, leather, fabric designs, yarns, haberdashery and footwear accessories, knitwear and finished garments.

While the total visitor number has declined by 1.89% compared to the September 2018 show, 73% of the visitors came from European countries led by the French, followed by Italy and the UK, Spain, Germany and Belgium.

Elsewhere, the show saw a growing number of Asian visitors, now accounting nearly 12% of the attendance at this September edition, including those rom China, Japan and South Korea respectively.

North America also saw a significant increase accounting for more than 5% of visitors, while Turkey accounted 3% representing an increase as well.
