Buyers fell in step with weavers in their desire to innovate, experiment and take risks for this autumn winter 09-10 season.

Here, a small sampling of the comments made by buyers and visitors, fresh from the salon:
Major names present.
Serious contacts. Visitors were here to work. …All the major names were present. A very good salon, a clientele that is moving ahead, with fine collections and a lot of energy to come. Laurent Garigue, Laurent Garigue - United Kingdom

Beyond the number of visitors, it's quality that counts, and we had quality contacts… Maurizio Pezzati, Effepierre – Italy

I am very satisfied. I saw all the American clients and I had a very good salon. Antonio Gentili, Gentili - Italy. It's my first time at Première Vision... and I will definitely come again.

We've spent most of our time looking around Paris for inspiration but Première Vision has it all. We loved the Distinction area in particular as it provided us with really good fabrics for men.

We are happy as we met up with all our suppliers and found what we were looking for. Gemma Lowis, Debenhams - United Kingdom

Première Vision is a must for us in terms of quality and creativity. We are launching a very top-of-the-range line for the Escada group, and we are looking for the best in silks, laces, etc. Thomas Ratte, Ley International Fashion Co – Germany

We always come to Première Vision as it is important to see and feel what is happening, to get a feel for the current mood and ambiance. Daniela Gervasoni, Jersey Lomellina – Italy.

We come not directly from the textile sector but rather cosmetics, yet the colours, fabric handles and textures at Première Vision are essential sources of inspiration. We are quite faithful, even if in a cross disciplinary field.

During the salon, Première Vision unveiled the results of the second phase of its major international study masculin pluriel - men & fashion/the future The study determines that men confer a double role to their clothing: to protect them and underline and enhance their qualities.

More than 300 people attended the presentation and debate, which gathered, on Thursday 25 September, Gustavo Lins, Jean-Paul Knott, Régis Perdrix and Kazuo Kurobe, along with other menswear personalities, together with journalist Mathias Ohrel, Patricia Romatet (IFM/French Fashion institute) and Larry Hasson (Risc International).

The focus on men will continue over the long term, and several projects with an international resonance will be undertaken for the next Première Vision edition, including the development of a book men under construction, and a film.
