Première Vision’s objectives are: to help the entire sector design and produce collections that integrate the values of today’s and tomorrow’s creative, innovative and responsible fashion; promote and expand the use of best practices and responsible (environmental and ethical) approaches of companies in the sector: procurement (raw materials – yarns, fibers, fabrics, leathers, accessories), transformation processes (transparency, traceability), production (industrialization ), life of the finished product (lifespan, care, recycling and environmental impact, etc.); provide concrete solutions in terms of eco-responsible procurement: everything starts from the design phase and the raw material; decode the main challenges of the sector and provide information on the issues at stake in a more ethical and sustainable fashion industry; promote and develop the sharing of ideas between professionals on these issues. This is a strong and priority commitment for Première Vision Paris, which is constantly being strengthened and destined to be central to the entire world of fashion.
