Premiere Vision Paris is getting ready for its next edition taking place in Paris Nord Villepinte, Parc Des Expositions, in a new time slot—from September 1 to 3, 2026–dedicated to innovation and technology.
Occupying three halls, the show will bring together more than 850 exhibitors within a streamlined and business-oriented layout, across eight dedicated sectors: Yarns, Fabrics, Designs, Accessories, Leather, Smart Creation, Manufacturing, Bag & Shoe, and Leatherwear.
For the occasion, the show will disclose some of its most strategic partnerships to further establish its “Inno-Tech” edition as an international platform for innovation.
The event will offer a unique space for insight, dialogue, and business activation in order to face the industry’s most pressing challenges, like, for instance, margin pressure, sourcing optimization, product innovation, and rising environmental standards.
With Inno-Tech, Première Vision Paris will host a series of tools and partners designed to enhance performance.
Among them, protagonists will be AI, the digitalization of design processes, new industrial techniques, and eco-innovation.
The Smart Creation area will host technological innovations applied to the fashion and creative industries, where digital tools, advanced materials, and new design approaches converge.
Among the Smart Tech exhibitors, Heuritech will present its AI-powered solutions capable of analyzing market and consumer data to identify, quantify, and forecast fashion trends, while CLO, a 3D fashion design software program, wants to redefine fashion design through its 3D creation software, enabling the visualization of virtual garments and highly realistic prototypes.
In the Smart Materials category, Ever Dye will showcase bio-based pigments and low-temperature dyeing processes with reduced energy consumption, illustrating the new possibilities enabled by sustainable innovation.
Within Smart Services, Fair Wear works alongside brands and industry stakeholders to improve working conditions throughout textile supply chains. Nona Source, instead, gives a second life to dormant raw material stocks through a circular and responsible model.
Along with the Inno-Tech section, the show will also launch the Cosmetic Village, an area meant to broaden the show’s scope with a new space dedicated to cosmetics, developed in partnership with Cosmetic Valley. Set within a 150 m² space in Hall 1, this new village will host around ten cosmetic brands, expanding business opportunities and encouraging cross-sector synergies between fashion and beauty.
The program will also feature two conference stages, a dedicated pitch area, and tailored business meeting formats designed to foster focused discussions and create tangible opportunities.
One stage will be entirely devoted to the Inno-Tech theme, highlighting the latest technological solutions and sharing concrete feedback through real-life case studies and industry applications.
This season, the conference program is built around the Facing Fashion Forward manifesto, whose central ambition is to close the gap between digital transformation and the industry’s most pressing operational challenges—profitability, margin protection, and sustainability. Bringing together internationally renowned speakers, the program will deliver expert insights, strategic perspectives, and concrete feedback on the profound shifts reshaping the global fashion ecosystem.
Among discussion topics there will be strategy & business, AI, sustainability & materials, Digital Product Passport, and The CEO Playbook for 2026, a selection of topics aiming to disclose a long-term strategic vision in an era where uncertainty has become structural.
For this edition, Première Vision Paris welcomes two designers that have allied significantly with high-tech. Special guests of this edition’s show will be Alexis Mabille and Victor Clavelly. Through their contemporary and forward-thinking perspectives, they will notably take part in dedicated conferences exploring their respective journeys and their creative approaches, offering audiences their vision of haute couture and their experimentation with emerging technologies.
Alexis Mabille is a French fashion designer and the artistic director of his eponymous house. For the brand’s s/s 2026 collection, haute couture entered the era of artificial intelligence. The designer imagines a new fashion landscape where artisanal craftsmanship meets the new technologies where digital innovation and couture elegance coexist in perfect harmony.
Victor Clavelly is an independent creative entity exploring the convergence of fashion, technology, and speculative storytelling. Specializing in 3D printing applied to garments, the studio develops a sculptural, hybrid, and experimental design language that challenges conventional approaches to fashion creation and opens new creative possibilities at the intersection of craftsmanship and innovation.
Première Vision will also support the launch of a new web application developed in collaboration with Paris Good Fashion and its members, dedicated to raw materials sourcing. Designed as a decision-making tool for industry professionals, the platform will help guide sourcing strategies toward higher-quality materials and credible alternatives capable of reducing dependence on fossil-based resources.
More than 60 materials will be analyzed in depth, covering their technical characteristics, quality, market availability, industrial maturity, and environmental impact.
Developed collectively with the support of leading members of the association and expert partners in France and internationally, this unprecedented initiative represents both a major collaborative milestone and a highly valuable operational resource for the industry.
The platform will be officially unveiled and launched to professionals during Première Vision Paris on September 1st, 2026.
