This 6, 7 & 8 February 2024, Première Vision Paris – the international event for creative fashion professionals – returns to the Parc des Expositions at Paris Nord Villepinte. PV Paris is a place to find inspiration, share ideas and build future collections of ready-to-wear, accessories (fashion jewelry and leather goods) and footwear.
Visitors will discover the Spring-Summer 25 collections of nearly 1,200 international exhibitors, including 73 newcomers (spinners, weavers, tanners, textile designers, makers of accessories & components, garment manufacturers), from 42 countries including Italy, France, Spain, Korea, Japan, the UK and more.
8 UNIVERSES SERVING THE CREATIVE FASHION MARKET: Yarns (yarns and fibers), Fabrics (textiles), Designs (textile designs and motifs), Accessories (accessories and components), Manufacturing (fashion manufacturing), Smart Creation (technical and technological innovations, sustainable materials), Maison d’Exceptions (exclusive know-hows), Leather (leather).
360° Leather – from farm to tech : Today’s leather industry is facing new challenges that go well beyond the technical issues tanners and their partners have always surmounted thanks to their extraordinary inventivity and adaptability.
Expectations in terms of quality and volume, the preservation of lands and their ecosystems, and environmental and traceability issues are becoming permanent priorities for the leather industry. It is now crucial for all players in the supply chain (from production to distribution) to work together.
Given this context, Première Vision has decided to gradually integrate issues and solutions destined to shape tomorrow’s leather industry into its overall approach to the sector, including a look at new technologies, tomorrow’s agriculture, adapting to climate change and more. With, for the first time in February 2024, 8 brand-new kinds of players at the show.
To shed light on the challenges involved in the industry’s transformation and the future of the industry:
• PV LEATHER HUB: an area comprising the «Leather Forum», showcasing exhibitors’ latest innovations; the «Industry Innovation» hub (where companies specializing in agriculture, the environment and tech will present their solutions); and the Platinum executive lounge (a place to dine and relax for members of the Platinum program).
• Les Tanneurs Français : a village grouping 14 French tanneries and the FFTM (French Federation of Tanners) under a single banner.
• The FFTM x IFM exhibition: students from the Institut Français de la Mode (IFM) will exhibit leather-goods projects created using leathers from French tanners.
FOR A MORE ECO-RESPONSIBLE FASHION: Launched in July 2023, ‘a better way’ – the program that decodes and showcases exhibitors’ efforts and investments designed to promote a more responsible fashion industry – has expanded to include two new show universes as of February 2024.
Manufacturing and Smart Materials will thus be joining Fabrics, Yarns and Leather, which are already integrated into the program. Deadstock – fashion houses’ unused materials – will be offered by industry experts Adapta and Nona Source and, for the first time, L’Atelier des Matières. In addition, a special area dedicated to deadstock from PV Paris exhibitors will be featured at the show.
