Première Vision Paris is centering its efforts on a 100% digital February show, in order to continue to support the creative fashion industry and set the stage for the recovery expected to get underway in 2021.

We confirm our goal of holding our trade fairs and events slated for 2021, on a course that will henceforth combine physical and digital events. The evolution of the current health situation will set the pace for this resumption. Our digital events are much richer now, and they will continue to grow increasingly sophisticated and performant for the market. They already allow all industry players – buyers, creative teams, decision-makers, and of course suppliers and manufacturers – to come together, continue interacting, and dicsover.»
