PARIS — Première Vision Paris is set to bring together the technologies, expertise and creative capabilities reshaping the global fashion industry as the event returns from 1–3 September 2026 in Paris.
With nearly 900 international exhibitors, the upcoming edition will focus on innovation, technology, sustainability and cross-industry collaboration, reinforcing the event’s ambition to become a strategic platform for brands navigating rapid changes across the fashion and creative industries.
Under this year’s Innovation-Tech theme, Première Vision Paris will highlight technologies and solutions transforming product creation, manufacturing and development. Artificial intelligence, innovative materials, digital design, automation and sustainability-focused technologies will feature prominently throughout the event.
“This edition perfectly illustrates the spirit of innovation currently driving the fashion and creative industries,” said Florence Rousson, Managing Director of the Fashion Division at GL events. She added that new partnerships, exhibitor innovations and an expanded conference programme are creating opportunities for businesses to unlock growth, accelerate transformation and prepare for the future.
Next-generation materials take centre stage
A major focus of the event will be next-generation materials designed to support more sustainable and innovative product development. Visitors will discover leather alternatives made from food waste, mycelium-based biomaterials, PLA fibres, closed-loop recycled polyester and plant-based alternatives to fur.
The exhibitor portfolio will also address traceability, Digital Product Passports, circularity and product data management, with solutions supporting raw-material traceability, certifications and deadstock valorisation.
Leading companies such as Lenzing, Arvind Limited, Ipeker, A. Sampaio, Usha Yarns, Antex, Circlo EcoDesign & Circularity, Earth Protex and Nona Source will showcase solutions in this field.
AI and digital technologies reshape product development
Artificial intelligence and digitalisation will form another important pillar of the event. Technologies covering trend forecasting, AI, 3D design, product optimisation and supply chain management will demonstrate how digital tools are increasingly influencing collection development and decision-making.
Companies including Elisa Industriq, Heuritech, CLO Virtual Fashion and Shima Seiki will present technologies aimed at improving creativity, efficiency and product development.
Première Vision Paris will also highlight responsible manufacturing solutions, including textile recycling, eco-design, low-impact dyeing, enzymatic recycling and technologies supporting more sustainable industrial processes.
High-performance materials for technical markets
The event will additionally showcase advanced materials for sportswear, outdoor, workwear and technical applications. These include PFAS-free membranes, bio-based fibres, responsibly sourced down and high-performance textiles designed to enhance breathability, waterproofness and durability.
Among the exhibitors in this segment are Hyosung, Lenzing, British Millerain & Co Ltd, Olmetex, Sofileta, Antex, Dimpora, Toray Sakai Weaving and Dyeing, New Wide Enterprise and Santic (Bangladesh) Co. Ltd.
More than 100 experts to share industry insights
Beyond sourcing and product development, Première Vision Paris will offer an expanded programme of talks and pitches across two stages: Innovation & Technology and Fashion & Beauty.
More than 100 international experts will discuss innovation, sustainability, technology, creativity, market developments, fashion, colour, beauty and emerging consumer trends.
Speakers will include Francesco Bottigliero, Head of Humanistic Technology at Brunello Cucinelli; Alexis Mabille, Creative Director of his eponymous haute couture house; Victoire Satto, Founder of The Good Goods; and Ben Hanson, Founder of The Interline.
The programme will also feature insights from Heuritech, Gildas Minvielle of the Institut Français de la Mode, designer Victor Clavelly and Lucas Lauer of NellyRodi.
Fashion and beauty converge in new Cosmetic Village
A notable new development for this edition is the Cosmetic Village, created through Première Vision’s strategic partnership with COSMETIC VALLEY.
The new space aims to connect the fashion and beauty ecosystems, bringing together laboratories, manufacturers, beauty experts and other specialists involved in formulation, R&D, manufacturing, packaging, product design and market launch.
Participating companies include Créassence, Creapharm Cosmetics, Delbi Cosm, Hygeia, Ilioza, Laboratoire LBP, Savoirs des Peuples and Tech Nature.
Première Vision Paris will also collaborate with Kolmar Korea in the Prospective Area, where the cosmetics innovation leader will present an integrated vision of beauty innovation. The partnership will combine Première Vision’s colour forecasting expertise with Kolmar Korea’s technological capabilities through a make-up palette and lipstick inspired by the Autumn/Winter 2027–28 colour trends.
With its expanded exhibitor base, technology-driven focus, expert programme and new fashion-beauty partnerships, Première Vision Paris 2026 is positioning innovation not simply as a creative advantage, but as a key driver of competitiveness, performance and long-term transformation across the global fashion value chain.
