A landmark edition in many ways for the show, which celebrated 15 years of inspiration and support for the creative denim industry:

• The return in force of a diversified, qualified and international visitor base: the show welcomed 2,027 visitors from 50 countries, a +27% increase over the Berlin edition in June 2022 and a +65% increase vs. the first post- pandemic edition held in Milan in October 2021. Denim Première Vision demonstrated its dynamism and the industry’s proactive response to the shock waves generated by the global political and economic instability, and constraints (travel limitations, lack of medium-to-long-term visibility) tied to the Covid-19 health crisis.
  

• Among the most represented countries: Italy (62% of visitors), Turkey, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, United States, Switzerland, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark. And a noteworthy return of Japanese and Chinese visitors.
  

• A selective offer of very high creative quality, on the cutting-edge of sustainable innovation: the latest developments and innovations from 67 leading companies from 14 countries - Italy, Spain, France, Turkey, Morocco, Japan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, China and more. Exhibitors numbering among the most creative, but also the most innovative, in terms of ethical and sustainable production, spanning all activity sectors in the supply chain: Spinners, weavers, garment manufacturers/laundries/finishers, component and accessory makers, technology developers.
  

• The business, festive and almost familial atmosphere that marked the show’s two days in Milan: In a still-complex global economic and political context tied to the war in Ukraine and its consequences (uncertainty, inflation, rising energy and raw material costs), the buoyant mood in the aisles and stands and sustained pace of meetings between buyers and suppliers, all pleased to be meeting and working together again, were marked by unfailing energy and optimism.
