Première Vision Paris Returns: Three Territories of Savoir-Faire

Courtesy of

From February 3 to 5, 2026, Première Vision Paris returns with an ambitious and forward looking edition that places craftsmanship at the core of creative and industrial transformation. As the leading international trade show for creative sourcing and the decoding of textile and color trends, Première Vision once again sets the agenda for the upcoming Spring Summer 2027 season. At the heart of this edition is a new cultural and industrial focus on three key territories of contemporary textile excellence: France, Portugal, and Japan. Through these regions, the show explores how heritage, innovation, and sustainability intersect to shape the future of fashion and materials.

France is examined through the theme Culture(s) and Counter Culture. Long established savoir faire exists in constant dialogue with experimentation, alternative practices, and emerging creative scenes. This tension between tradition and reinvention continues to influence global fashion and reinforces France’s role as both a guardian of heritage and a catalyst for creative renewal.

Portugal is presented under the theme Living Sustain, reflecting a deeply rooted commitment to responsible fashion. Known for its high performing textile industry, the country brings together manufacturers, artisans, designers, and research centers around sustainable innovation. Tradition and advanced technologies work hand in hand, positioning Portugal as a cornerstone of Europe’s responsible fashion ecosystem and a key player in the industry’s transition.

Japan completes the triptych with Nature Minded, offering a unique vision in which ancestral textile techniques meet biotechnological innovation. From meticulous craftsmanship rooted in natural materials to cutting edge developments in biofabrication and biotechnology, Japan presents a textile culture defined by respect for living systems, precision, and long term thinking.

Beyond this territorial narrative, Première Vision Paris 2026 will welcome nearly 1,000 international exhibitors spanning the entire fashion and textile value chain, including fabrics, leather, accessories, yarns, manufacturing, design, smart creation, and the Maison d’Exceptions sector. Together, they form a comprehensive panorama of global creative sourcing enriched by exclusive prospective content. Key highlights include the Première Vision Forum, unveiling the Spring Summer 2027 color and material trends under the season theme Open. Maison d’Exceptions returns for its 13th edition with a highly curated selection of 22 ateliers dedicated to rare and exceptional craftsmanship, accessible exclusively by invitation to luxury brands. The February 2026 edition also places strong emphasis on knowledge sharing and industry dialogue. An extensive program of talks and conferences unfolds across two stages.

Fashion and Beauty marks the return of beauty focused content to the show.

While Savoir Faire and Business of Fashion addresses strategic, economic, and industrial challenges ranging from supply chain transformation and sustainability to innovation, competitiveness, and new business models. For its second edition, the Prospective Area expands its role as a cross disciplinary influence platform, connecting fashion with broader creative and lifestyle fields such as fragrance, photography, gastronomy, music, and beauty. Additional projects including the Kimono Upcycling Project and immersive spaces dedicated to materials like European linen further highlight Première Vision’s commitment to innovation rooted in craftsmanship. With this edition, Première Vision Paris reaffirms its mission to position craftsmanship not as a legacy of the past, but as a strategic, creative, and sustainable force shaping the fashion industry of tomorrow.
