Première Vision Paris is introducing a new tiered, paid visitor access system from January 2027 as the international fashion trade show continues to extend its offer beyond materials sourcing.
Primarily aimed at fashion brands, designers and manufacturers, Première Vision brings together suppliers from across the global fashion supply chain. Its offer spans yarns, fabrics, leather and components as well as textile design, garment manufacturing, technology and innovation, allowing brands to source both the materials and production expertise needed to create their collections.
However, the show is attracting a growing number of retailers, with attendance from retail companies increasing by 30 per cent at its September 2026 edition compared with the previous year. The show has also been developing its programme beyond sourcing, with greater emphasis on trend forecasting, industry insight, networking and business development.
From January, visitors will be able to choose from four access options depending on their requirements, with a standard three-day Access pass priced at €45 including VAT, or €35 when booked by 22 December. Visitors who attended either the February or September 2026 editions will receive free access to the January event as part of the transition.
The standard pass includes access to nearly 1,000 exhibitors from across the fashion supply chain as well as talks, pitches and fashion seminars, personalised visit routes and digital networking tools.
At the September edition, talks, pitches and guided tours attracted the equivalent of one third of the total visitor base. Attendance from fashion houses, designers and luxury brands was also up 19 per cent year on year, while six in 10 visitors travelled from outside France.
“We have become the place where the industry comes together, gathers information and makes decisions,” says Florence Rousson, managing director of the Fashion Division of GL events. “Everything we build serves the same objective: supporting the industry in its transition towards a creative, sustainable and profitable model.”
The next edition of Première Vision Paris takes place at Paris Nord Villepinte from 26 to 28 January 2027, presenting the SS28 season with a focus on territories and craftsmanship and India as its guest country.
