PREMIÈRE VISION PARIS EMPHASISES TRANSVERSAL COLLABORATION BETWEEN BUSINESS SPECIALITIES, AFFIRMING A STREAMLINED, CREATIVE AND SELECTIVE PREMIUM POSITIONING TO SERVE THE GLOBAL INTERNATIONAL FASHION INDUSTRY.

In February 2015, Première Vision Pluriel became Première Vision Paris. The sole organiser of this ensemble of 6 shows, all mutually complementary in terms of businesses and know-how, Première Vision then also launched its new brand policy based on the Première Vision name, to reinforce the unique, unparalleled offer proposed by these 6 shows.

Shows which, through these strategic evolutions and a strong desire for harmonisation, have skilfully gained in coherence while profiting, as a whole, from the renown, image, worldwide strength and influence of the Première Vision brand. Additionally, the goal has been to promote and coordinate the different professions with their specificities at the heart of a single, homogenous, more coherent and more efficient event.

This objective that has now been reached in light of the strong adherence of exhibitors faced with these changes. Based on a study conducted during the February shows, exhibitors in fact confirmed the essential role of the Paris event and the consistency of its strategic choices:

93% of exhibitors at the Première Vision Paris shows confirmed their «strong adherence» to the new brand policy and the new strategic directions taken by Première Vision.

89% of them also attest to the leadership of Première Vision Paris, and consider this international event to be the most important in the industry.

15-17 SEPTEMBER 2015PARC D’EXPOSITIONS - PARIS NORD VILLEPINTE

Exhibitors – spinners, weavers, accessory makers, design studios, tanners, garment manufacturers – and visitors – buyers, accessory and fashion brand designers and heads of fashion companies –, all anticipate a show with increased efficiency and productivity. Some are seeking to gain in visibility and develop solid business relationships; others are looking for inspiration and innovative collections that will make their products stand out.

These evolutions, strategic developments and strengthened inter-show synergies well reflect the ambitions of Première Vision Paris: to meet the needs and expectations of the global fashion industry thanks to a unique, consolidated international event of 6 shows reflecting the sector’s major business activities, all of which are complementary in terms of materials and services, and also thanks to a selective, high-end and creative offer.

Driven by this dynamic, the next edition of Première Vision Paris - from 15 to 17 September at the Parc des Expositions in Paris-Nord Villepinte - will focus on the development of interactions and cross-collaborations between the 6 shows’ business activities, while further promoting their individual strengths within an increasingly harmonised event.

15-17 SEPTEMBER 2015PARC D’EXPOSITIONS - PARIS NORD VILLEPINTE

SEPTEMBER 2015, 1,915 EXHIBITORS: A DYNAMIC, EVOLVING OFFER. COHERENT AND EFFECTIVE SHOWS.Yarns and fibres, fabrics, leathers and furs, designs, accessories and components, manufacturing… during three days, the global event for fashion professionals will present to the world’s fashion players a rich and exclusive offer across its 6 shows.

This richness of the offer, now tied to the new brand policy and the full integration of the Première Vision Paris shows, now makes it possible to fully develop a transverse collaboration of know-hows, to create connections between exhibitors and showcase interactions between the different businesses.

As sole organiser, Première Vision has been able to analyse the offer of its shows in a more comprehensive fashion. And while each show maintains its specificities and continues to develop its own offer, synergies between shows and between exhibitors will be strengthened as of this next edition.

Closer ties, relocations or reclassifications have been made, reflecting the overall aim of Première Vision to offer a structured event that is more effective and consistent, thanks to a more immediately readable offer that is organised and adapted to the needs of international buyers and markets.

This new dynamic, a direct result of the strategic changes made by Première Vision Paris, has enabled some exhibitors - whose skills intersected several shows or businesses -to integrate new areas and reposition themselves. These changes should enable them to further improve their performance.

} More details concerning these developments and closer interactions will be announced shortly.

The 6 Première Vision Paris shows:

As a reminder, since February the Première Vision brand name is attached to the definition of the specific profession of each of its shows:

} Première Vision Yarns (formerly Expofil, the show of yarns and fibres);} Première Vision Fabrics (formerly Première Vision, the world’s premier clothing fabric show);} Première Vision Leather (formerly Cuir à Paris, the show for experts in leather and fur); } Première Vision Designs (formerly Indigo, the show for textile design and creation);} Première Vision Accessories (formerly Modamont, the international show of accessories and components for
