Première Vision Paris: Innovation, Technology, and Sustainability to Redefine the Future of Fashion

After a successful February edition dedicated to the art of savoir-faire, Première Vision Paris is preparing to once again gather the global fashion community, this time with a sharp focus on innovation and technology. From 16 to 18 September 2025, the world’s fashion capital will host industry leaders, changemakers, and creatives committed to shaping a more responsible and forward-thinking future of fashion.

A New Era for Première Vision Paris

Première Vision continues its strategic transformation, reaffirming its commitment to supporting creativity, responsibility, and global business development across every segment of the fashion industry, from mass market to luxury. The fair now alternates between two complementary editions: Craftsmanship & Know-How in February, and Innovation & Technology in September. With this updated format, the event remains not only a business catalyst, but a visionary stage for sustainable innovation and technological excellence in fashion, textiles, leather, and accessories.

Strong Attendance and International Support

The February 2025 edition, dedicated to know-how, was marked by exceptional attendance and global recognition. Delegations from Portugal, South Korea, Egypt, Tunisia, Brazil, Indonesia, India, and Japan gathered in Paris, along with ministers, embassy representatives, and industry organisations such as EURATEX, IWTO, mmode (Quebec), AMITH (Morocco), and more.

Florence Rousson, President of the Première Vision Management Board and General Manager of The Creative Pole, remarked:

The Creative Pole: A Vision Beyond Borders

Florence Rousson also announced the launch of The Creative Pole, the newly renamed fashion division of GL events, which brings together 18 global events under three brands: Première Vision, Tranoï, and Fashion Source. This cross-sector approach aims to create synergies between designers, manufacturers, federations, and brands on a global scale.

As part of this mission, The International Observatory of Creation was introduced, an annual strategic tool designed to analyse emerging trends, industry disruptions, and the evolution of the creative sector.

Innovation as a Tool for Sustainability

This edition also reinforced the industry’s shift toward eco-responsibility and circularity. Desolina Suter, Fashion Director at Première Vision, underlined:“In a landscape where fashion must reinvent itself, know-how—whether traditional or cutting-edge—is the key to building a more sustainable and resource-conscious industry.”

• The Inspiration Forum: A showcase of Spring–Summer 2026 trends and sustainable craftsmanship across fabrics, leather, and accessories.
