Première Vision Paris expands innovation focus across fashion and beauty

© 2026 Première Vision
From September 1–3, 2026, Première Vision Paris will bring together more than 900 exhibitors from across the global fashion value chain. This year's edition places a strong emphasis on Innovation-Tech, highlighting technologies and materials that are reshaping product development, manufacturing and sustainability.

The exhibition will present solutions ranging from next-generation fibres and bio-based materials to artificial intelligence, digital product development, traceability, recycling and automation. According to organiser GL events, the event aims to help brands improve competitiveness while responding to growing demands for transparency, circularity and more efficient production.

Among the material innovations on display are leather alternatives made from food waste, mycelium-based materials, PLA fibres, recycled polyester solutions and plant-based alternatives to fur. Functional textiles for sportswear, outdoor and workwear will also play an important role, including PFAS-free membranes, bio-based fibres and high-performance fabrics designed to improve durability, breathability and waterproofness.

Digitalisation remains another central theme. Exhibitors will showcase technologies covering artificial intelligence, 3D product development, trend forecasting, supply chain optimisation and Digital Product Passport solutions. Circular business models, recycling technologies and traceability systems will complement the offering.

Florence Rousson, Managing Director of the Fashion Division at GL events, said the event reflects the industry's current transformation through innovation, strategic partnerships and new business opportunities that help companies prepare for the future.

More than 100 experts on stage

The conference programme will feature more than 100 international speakers across two stages dedicated to Innovation & Technology and Fashion & Beauty. Sessions will address topics including artificial intelligence, sustainable manufacturing, emerging consumer trends, digital commerce and future material developments.

Among the confirmed speakers are Francesco Bottigliero (Brunello Cucinelli), Alexis Mabille, Victoire Satto (The Good Goods), Ben Hanson (The Interline), Gildas Minvielle (Institut Français de la Mode), Victor Clavelly and Lucas Lauer (NellyRodi). Winners and finalists of the Première Vision Paris Innovation Award 2026 will also present their projects.

Beauty joins the fashion ecosystem

A new feature for this edition is the Cosmetic Village, created in partnership with Cosmetic Valley. The dedicated exhibition area brings together laboratories, manufacturers and beauty specialists to strengthen collaboration between the fashion and cosmetics industries.

The event is also partnering with Kolmar Korea, which will present an exclusive make-up palette and lipstick inspired by Première Vision's Autumn/Winter 2027/28 colour forecasts. The collaboration underlines the increasing convergence of fashion, beauty and technology.

Première Vision Paris will take place from September 1–3, 2026, at Paris Nord Villepinte, bringing together sourcing, innovation and expert knowledge for fashion professionals navigating an increasingly technology-driven industry.
