The event held from 3-5 February 2026 saw the convergence of brands, manufacturers, designers, and institutions from major European, Asian, and American markets.
Participants noted that companies throughout the sector are responding to structural cost increases by reassessing commercial terms, adjusting order volumes, and delaying key decisions.
Discussions revealed that price is just one part of a broader assessment for industry players. Factors such as industrial reliability, supplier delivery capabilities, financial resilience, and stable partnerships now play decisive roles in business negotiations.
Speakers highlighted a ‘structural trend’ where these aspects are considered essential for continuity in a volatile market environment.
Retail-focused brands described their approach as strictly optimised, with ongoing efforts to identify alternative sourcing regions while remaining flexible in response to market changes.
Representatives from premium and luxury segments reported reinforcing established supplier relationships and investing in innovation intended to support growth within their supply chains.
Across all market segments, speakers agreed that responsible innovation has become a fundamental requirement, focusing on practical measures that can be implemented at scale.
Première Vision Paris also facilitates exchange of information on new trends and developments within the international industry landscape. Organisers positioned the event as a focal point for stakeholders seeking to interpret shifting market signals and consolidate partnerships.
In light of concerns over loss of technical expertise across the sector, organisers enhanced their educational initiatives for professionals requiring updated training. The event welcomed a large cohort of students in an effort to pass on textile knowledge to future generations, a move aimed at preserving the craftsmanship necessary for continued industrial strength.
During the event, Réseau d’Excellence Mode & Beauté des Entreprises du Patrimoine Vivant, was launched as part of the Fashion & Luxury Strategic Committee initiative.
This initiative seeks to foster craftsmanship, support industrial robustness, and promote collaborative solutions among companies navigating current market pressures.
