BLOSSOM PREMIÈRE VISION A GROWING, SELECTIVE & ULTRA HIGH-QUALITY OFFER

BLOSSOM PREMIÈRE VISION, THE RENDEZ-VOUS FOR PRE-COLLECTIONS A year ago, the PREMIÈRE VISION group inaugurated BLOSSOM

PREMIÈRE VISION, a biannual trade show dedicated to first collections and designed for creative, luxury and high-end fashion brands.

Last December, the success of the show’s second edition confirmed the coherency and effectiveness of its underlying concept:

• a selective offer proposed by a selection of weavers, accessory makers and, for the first time, tanners;

• a show timed to be consistent with the calendar of first collections (pre-collections), and complementary to the Première Vision Paris* calendar, which targets main collections.

This coming 4 and 5 July at the Palais Brongniart in Paris, the third edition of BLOSSOM PREMIÈRE VISION is in line to continue this positive momentum by proposing an ever more pertinent response to leading fashion houses’ need for exclusivities. Luxury and high-end markets which, in an uncertain global and political context, are now looking for new sources of growth and new, tailor-made proposals.

* PREMIÈRE VISION PARIS : 19, 20 & 21 September 2017 – Parc des Expositions de Paris Nord Villepinte
