From 11-13 February 2025, the fashion industry’s leading professionals will gather at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center for Première Vision Paris. The pivotal event, celebrated for its role in driving the creative and responsible fashion sectors, will unveil the Spring-Summer 2026 collections. Bringing together over 1,060 exhibitors from approximately 40 countries - including France, Italy, Japan, Spain, Korea, and Turkey - the event promises a showcase of the latest developments in textiles, leather, accessories, and design.

Première Vision continues to lead as a trendsetter, offering insights into the major movements shaping the fashion world. The development of the season’s exclusive colour palette serves as the foundation of its creative vision. This unique process is guided by the expertise of the Première Vision fashion team, who work in collaboration with French and international specialists.

“Trend creation is a delicate blend of intuition, analysis, and collaboration,” says Desolina Suter, Fashion Director of Première Vision. “By capturing the essence of societal, artistic, and technological transformations, we translate these influences into visions that inspire and connect the fashion industry.”

These insights come to life at the event’s two fashion forums. The Inspiration Forum in Hall 5 showcases the season’s defining trends, with a focus on craftsmanship, lightweight designs, and cutting-edge 3D technologies. Highlighted exhibitors include Aurélia Le Blanc, Superlativa, and Cécile Feilchenfeldt, while the leather section spotlights eco-responsible creations from Audrey Bigouin, Hors Studio, and Studio Loann.

Meanwhile, the Sourcing Solution Forum in Hall 6 simplifies the process of supplier selection by grouping exhibitors by specialties such as prints, silks, knitwear, and sportswear. This forum also emphasizes eco-innovation, providing visitors with sustainable sourcing options.

Decoding SS26: Fashion seminars and talks

Maison d’Exceptions

A highlight of the February edition is Maison d’Exceptions, a dedicated space for showcasing rare artisanal expertise. Around 20 workshops and artisans from across the globe will present their unique techniques, from Japanese paper crafts to hand-dyed silks. Newcomers such as Antonin Mongin (France) and Hélène Dashorst (Netherlands) will join returning favorites like Kashida and Atelier Aurélia LeBlanc.

Visitors can also experience live embroidery demonstrations by Louise Robert, who will showcase her intricate work on Söktaş fabrics using Ensar threads.

Responsible approach to fashion

Première Vision continues to prioritise sustainability, reflected in its ‘A Better Way’ program that highlights eco-friendly exhibitors. The Smart Creation space, part of the Sourcing Solution Forum, focuses on low-impact materials and circular solutions.

The event also promotes collaboration through its Matchmaking Program, enabling brands and suppliers to forge innovative partnerships. The new PV Cube offers luxury brands access to over 300 exclusive materials in a confidential setting.

On February 12, Première Vision will dedicate a day to fashion technology. Key moments include a keynote on fashion tech trends, a guided tour of the Smart Tech space, and 13 pitches covering AI, blockchain, and traceability solutions.
