Three months from its next edition, Première Vision can already pride itself on a growing number of exhibitors. At this time last year there were 717 registered exhibitors. Today, 753 exhibitors have already confirmed their presence at the next show, being held the 17 - 19 September at the Parc d’Expositions de Paris Nord-Villepinte.
This significant increase should become clearer in the weeks to come, and has already broken the record of 745 exhibitors registered for September 2012.
Among the weavers presenting their Autumn/Winter 2014-15 collections, the show will welcome 26 new companies, each rigorously selected. Evaluated on the basis of their creativity, know-how, quality of service and financial reliability, their applications have been validated by a Selection Committee comprised of international experts and weavers.
Selectiveness, appeal and loyalty: Première Vision confirms its role as a global leader
Faced with the quality required of the Première Vision offer, this season once again very few new companies were selected. Many, from across the globe, were in the running, confirming the strong appeal of Première Vision internationally.
The increasing number of participation requests, coupled with a high degree of loyalty from exhibitors from season to season, testify to the solidity and substance of the show, and confirm its leading role on the international fashion scene.
It also demonstrates how essential it is today for companies to take on international markets. And with 73% international visitors, Première Vision is the ideal venue for fabric professionals seeking to develop and enhance their business, initiate discussions and gain visibility with key sector players.
Also this season there was a renewed dynamism in terms of European companies, which, despite a still challenging economic environment, applied in number to the show, with Italy at the forefront, followed by Turkish and South Korean weavers.
Another indication of Première Vision’s essential role is the return after several seasons away of the Prato converter Manifattura Première (Italy), French lace maker Jabouley (France) and the Scottish and Italian weavers Alexanders of Scotland and Cerrus.
Knitwear Solutions:
A third promising and expanding edition Last February, Knitwear Solutions confirmed the legitimacy of its role at Première Vision. In September, for its third edition, the platform dedicated to creative knitwear will definitively demonstrate the full part it has to play at the show.
With 50 exhibitors already registered, including 24 new companies to date, Knitwear Solutions shows a remarkable growth in the number of its exhibitors. By rounding out the Première Vision textile offer, and through a cutting-edge and creative international selection of knitters, spinners, knit studios (at Indigo) and a machine manufacturer, this space provides a concrete response to designers and buyers specialised in flatbed knits.
Première Vision S.A. : high-performant shows The three other shows organised by Première Vision S.A. are also showing their dynamism.
Indigo - the international show of creative textile & surface designs - has already confirmed 198(1) exhibitors (up from 193 in September 2012), including 19(1) newcomers.
For Expofil - the international show of yarns and fibres - 49(1) exhibitors are already registered to date (as against 51 in September 2012). While the figure remains stable, it is nonetheless particularly good for this very concentrated sector.
Finally MODAMONT - the international show of supplies and accessories for fashion and design - already has 318(1) companies (versus 303 in September 2012). Among them are 30(1) new exhibitors at the show, which, for greater business coherence, is moving this season from Hall 3 to Hall 4.
ModAmont thus moves closer to, on the one side, Première Vision, which allows for a greater synergy between accessories, fabrics, decoration and yarns; and, on the other side, it reinforces its complementarity with Le Cuir à Paris, in particular in the specific leathergoods and footwear markets.
