Première Vision Paris, one of the most important fairs in the textile sector, which took place 15 to 17 September 2015 in the lovely city of Paris, opened its doors with a very catchy slogan everywhere: “#WE ARE PREMIÈRE VISION“. The white imprinted on a red background, and apparently also in my head, accompanied me all the time at the fair with a spirit of great participation. I am not an exhibitor or a staff member, but a visitor as the many other and “#WE ARE PREMIÈRE VISION” I was immediately thrown into another dimension: the red is definitely the color of this demonstration, a color that seduces and captures the attention.
Première Vision Paris with its six different Areas (YARNS, FABRICS, LEATHER, DESIGNS, ACCESSORIES, MANIFACTURING) offers visitors an overview of the proposals both of matter which color of the Fall / Winter 2016-2017.
Responsibility, Sustainability, Fashion Smart Connection between nature and technology, are the underlying theme of this event.
Double-face fabrics, velvet, soft, with geometric or floral few hints, seem to dominate the scene.
The colors are everywhere, many proposals are concentrated in the TREND AGENCIES & BOOK SELLERS, a highly animated by the continuous presence of visitors. Here you can find the Bureau du Style, as Carlin, Peclers, Promostyl, with an exhibition of new Color Trend Book for Spring / Summer 2017. Première Vision Paris is one of those events that allows you to give a look to the future (Spring / Summer 2017), while you are looking for inspiration to start, expand or improve the collections of a future closer, the Fall / Winter 2016-2017.
