Première Vision Paris returns from 16–18 September 2025 at Paris Nord Villepinte with an edition dedicated to innovation, technology, and responsibility, marking a strategic repositioning for the event as a global catalyst for the fashion industry’s transformation. With over 1,000 exhibitors, including 12% first-timers, this autumn show focuses on solutions for a sector under constant reinvention.
Florence Rousson, Chairwoman of the Executive Board of Première Vision and CEO of GL events’ Fashion Division, said: “This edition supports the future of fashion — resolutely innovative and responsible — while welcoming over a hundred new leading players in search of opportunities and development.”
The September show enhances its creative offer through a redesigned trend laboratory, including a new Prospective Area centred on the theme Synesthesia. This immersive space will explore connections between beauty, industry, innovation and emotion, while six Focus areas - covering decoration, yarns, eco-innovation, citywear, manufacturing, accessories, and more - provide targeted insight.
A new Talks Stage will host industry experts on topics such as digitalisation, circularity and smart materials, while an expanded business platform will offer thematic walkthroughs, 150 hosted guest journeys, and curated business meetings. Visitors will also benefit from the enhanced Première Vision app to plan visits and optimise networking.
Innovation and technology form the cornerstone of the September edition and will continue to do so in all future autumn shows. AI, data, eco-design and 3D simulation will be explored through exclusive partnerships and content under the Smart Creation umbrella.
Notably, Première Vision will host the ten finalists of the 2025 ANDAM Innovation Award. These include winner Losanje and Special Jury Prize recipient Goldeneye Smart Vision, alongside start-ups such as ER Ocean Recherche, Rodinia Generation, and Smobya - all advancing sustainable, tech-driven fashion.
CLO Virtual Fashion will also debut at the show with a 250 m² immersive experience near the Smart Creation area, highlighting its 3D design and digital eco-design capabilities. The presence of CLO — rarely seen at trade fairs — underscores the rising influence of digital solutions in reshaping the apparel industry.
Four themed insights - from product design to 2030 strategy - will structure expert talks across the show’s new platforms. These, alongside the event’s repositioning, aim to drive progress in a fashion ecosystem increasingly defined by agility, sustainability and innovation.
