THIS 2 to 4 JULY 2024, PREMIÈRE VISION PARIS IS BACK!

«We are already preparing for the next edition of Première Vision Paris, taking place this 2 to 4 July 2024, and we’re pleased to announce that we’ll be renewing both the Hosted Guest – which had over 200 guests – and Matchmaking programs, as well as boosting our communications efforts. The strength and success of this February edition give us every reason to be confident about the 2024 calendar. With the Olympic Games taking place three weeks after our show, speculation is subsiding, and hotels and flights are once again available at their usual rates. The July edition looks promising, bolstered by positive indicators that ensure brands will be coming to Paris,» said Gilles Lasbordes, Managing Director of Première Vision.

An Immersive Experience Set in the Heart of the Season’s Newest Creative Developments

The 5 fashion forums, designed as spaces to both network and share ideas, captivated industry pros on the lookout for discoveries thanks to their impressive displays. Focusing on the latest breakthroughs and innovations chosen by the Première Vision fashion team, these areas offered visitors a cutting-edge experience set amidst the latest new products. Serving as a guide to the show’s offer, the expertly curated selections by the fashion teams were showcased in the forums, allowing buyers to immerse themselves in a rich season, find solutions for their collections and explore sustainable and technical innovations. Launched at this year’s show, multilingual audio guides (French, English, Italian, Korean, Japanese and Chinese) enhanced the visitor experience, underlining to the show’s commitment to accessibility.

The Global Hub of the Textile Industry, and a Guarantee of the Highest-caliber Offer from Exhibitors

The global impact of Première Vision Paris is apparent at every edition, thanks to the participation of major industry players from Europe, Asia and America, in particular. This diversity creates a dynamic setting for discussions focusing on new ideas, trends, business and the future, underlining the show’s reputation as the global hub for the creative fashion industry.

The exhibitor selection committee – which brings together Première Vision experts with industry manufacturers and buyers – plays a crucial role in maintaining a cohesive, high-quality offer that reflects the diversity of the market – from broad distribution to luxury, and assures brands that only the most relevant and innovative exhibitors are part of the event. Each year, the selection committee approves around 30% of new applications.

Exhibitor Selection Criteria:

Quality and creativity: the candidate company must help strengthen the pertinence of the show’s offer for each market segment represented at the show.

Ongoing development of original collections: the company’s application must detail all the product lines it intends to present at the show. Each product line must be the result of the company’s own unique creative process, leading to a seasonal updating of the articles proposed. Each collection presented must be characterized by its coherence and an identifiable fashion/market orientation. Technological and industrial innovation, which can lead to patents, contributes to the development of original products.

ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance criteria): companies must respect the social and environmental criteria commonly agreed upon by major international bodies (International Labour Organization, European Union, etc.).

Production equipment: Première Vision favors collections benefiting from directly controlled production equipment.

Quality of service: the selected company must provide such services as are relevant to a complex, targeted and international market. Criteria such as short lead times, reduced order minimums, and special developments may be positively taken into account in the selection process, but in themselves are not sufficient for a dossier to be accepted.

Ability to respond to international demand: whatever its country of origin, the company must be capable of responding satisfactorily to the global demand for samples and production as expressed at the show.

Commercial reputation: the applicant company must not be involved in any known litigation with reputable Première Vision exhibitors and/or buyers, in particular in the field of counterfeiting. On the contrary, it must be backed by a portfolio of clients and suppliers who themselves enjoy top international reputations.

Financial solidity and seniority: the applicant company must demonstrate a legal and operational existence of at least two years. Appreciation will be given to the candidate’s ability to meet short-term deadlines and maintain and develop its business in the medium term. Accounting and legal documents must be provided.
