Première Vision, a player in the global creative fashion industry, will be changing the calendar of its flagship event, Première Vision Paris, starting in 2021. The change will meet the requirements of a market in which collection creation and delivery timings have by and large multiplied. Première Vision is a leader in upstream creative-fashion events.
The show will now be welcoming its visitors - buyers, designers, production heads, fashion and accessory brand managers - and its exhibitors - spinners, weavers, tanners, textile designers, accessory and component manufacturers, and fashion manufacturers - at the end of January/early February for the spring-summer collections, and in the first two weeks of July for the autumn-winter collections, according to a press release by Premiere Vision.Première Vision, a player in the global creative fashion industry, will be changing the calendar of its flagship event, Première Vision Paris, starting in 2021.

Première Vision decided to advance its traditional dates (mid-February for spring-summer and mid-September for autumn-winter) to meet its audiences’ new needs regarding material selections and inspiration. These were brought to light in a European-wide survey of 1,765 industry professionals conducted at its request in late 2019 by the IFM - Institut Français de la Mode.
Some 72 per cent of the brands surveyed favoured advancing the trade show to the end of January/early February, and 69 per cent favoured an event held at the beginning of July. This strategic decision to advance the dates was further encouraged by a wide-ranging survey of Première Vision’s exhibiting partners, 66 per cent of whom are in favour of bringing the show forward to the end of January/early February, and 70 per cent in favour of the show taking place in July.
In 2021, Première Vision Paris will, therefore, be held from February 2-4, for the Spring-Summer 22/23 collections and from July 6-8, for the Autumn-Winter 22/23 collections. In 2020, the dates of the shows remain unchanged, from February 11-13, for Spring-Summer and from September 15-17, for Autumn-Winter. As a result of these changes, the Blossom Première Vision show, launched in 2016 and dedicated to the pre-collections of luxury and high-end brands, will take the form of a new show scheduled for the second week of September 2021. This will be a new event whose concept will be further elaborated in the coming months.
