PRESS RELEASE
FEBRUARY 2016: WITH 1,720 EXHIBITORS AND 6 COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITY SECTORS, PREMIÈRE VISION PARIS PLAYS ON STRENGTH AND A TRANSVERSAL APPROACH TO SERVE THE GLOBAL CREATIVE FASHION INDUSTRY. Première Vision Paris will open its doors next 16 to 18 February in a complex and still unstable economic and political context. Facing continually weakened global apparel consumption, both in traditional markets as well as in new consumer countries also hit by a downturn, Premiere Vision Paris continues to demonstrate its strength, and the strength of its concept. A dynamic edition, rich in inspirations and exchanges, lies ahead.

PRESS RELEASE In terms of the offer, 1,720 exhibitors - spinners, weavers, accessory makers, design studios, tanners and garment manufacturers - are presenting their latest creative developments to the many buyers, stylists and fashion and accessory brand designers who come each season to Première Vision Paris to find inspiration and unearth innovative collections that will make a difference to their collections. While, following a record 2015 year, the global number of exhibitors is showing a slight 4% decline - down from 1,793 exhibitors in February 2015 - this figure remains nonetheless quite high, and is exceptional for the industry as a whole. Among the offers proposed at the various international shows targeting the upstream sector, the Première Vision Paris event is unquestionably the most complete, the most international and the highest in quality.
The outlook from Gilles Lasbordes, General Manager of Première Vision. «The upcoming Première Vision Paris shows are in line with a positive trend, while the economic and political environment remains uncertain. We see a diversified offer from our exhibitors, and a real desire to present more varied and more richly creative collections. Our visitors can rest assured that once again this season, the shows will feature a wealth of creativity, high-quality products, new developments and inspiration. Maison d’Exceptions is back, with 27 artisans presenting exceptional expertise for luxury brands. And of course, Première Vision Paris will meet the needs of all markets: clothing, leather goods, footwear, fashion jewellery. The total number of exhibitors is down slightly, which reflects the market, but the dynamics of the offer remain strong. This edition we welcome 142 new exhibiting companies, versus 128 in February 2015. The show occupies an equivalent exhibition space as last year. Both indicators show the renewed confidence of our exhibitors in the Première Vision Paris event. From an economic standpoint, the current climate is reflected in a number of changes taking place in the industry sectors. We are seeing activities being grouped within companies, mergers and buyouts, but also shutdowns and repositionings ... These developments have had a significant impact on some of our exhibitors, in particular the smallest and therefore most fragile players. Since Première Vision became the sole organiser of the 6 shows in 2014, our strategic choices focused on improving synergies and interactions between the different events. This has led to adjustments in the offer, greater selectivity, moving closer together some exhibitors and relocating others, as well as changes in our counting procedures, impacting the total number of exhibiting companies. This stage has now been completed, and Première Vision Paris is ready to help its exhibitors further their business in the world’s international fashion markets.»
