January 2011 film
The show offers a large selection of fabrics as well as trimming collections of the highest quality and creativity, and the very important fabric Forum, the ultimate guide to the main season trends.
After the season kick-off in New York, the spring summer 13 season will next be presented to industry professionals from around the world this coming 14 -16 February in Paris. Première Vision will showcase the new collections of 675 exhibitors. During these three days buyers can also take advantage of the Première Vision Pluriel framework to discover the exceptional offer of the six complementary shows gathered in one place: Expofil (yarns & fibres), Première Vision (fabrics), Indigo (patterns), ModAmont (accessories), Le Cuir à Paris (leathers and fur), and Zoom by Fatex (garment manufacturing).
Chic workers: fine wools in ultra-darks blues - more indigo than navy, and casual sturdy cottons and denims
Featherweight ease: Fresh wools, crispy fine cottons and opaque light synthetics, semitransparent shirting.
Updated naturals: worn aspects with a British touch, updated by techno-natural fabrics and materials.
Stripe mania: a new focus on stripes, in witty plays.
Micro precision: neat and dense cottons, in precise semi-plains or mini checks.
Exhibitors at Première Vision Preview New York lend a colorful punch not just to technical sport products - but lace and silks too. Colors set off urban windbreakers, or chic or casual cottons for everyday - but never anonymous - pants and jackets.
Inspiring prints for clothing that borders on the unique!
This season, beyond patterns' styles, their placement is important. Motifs are located along the bottom edge, spaced out or blooming over the entire width, encouraging graphic plays on garments. Come discover them at: Confetti Fabrics, Ilay Tekstil, KBC, Liberty Art Fabrics, Miroglio Textile, Philea and Sungmin.
The PV Awards were created in 2009 by Première Vision to highlight, recognize and reward textile excellence. Every year the first stage for the prestigious jury is to select the most outstanding creations of the Première Vision weavers from among the fabrics chosen by the Fashion Team for the show’s forums. During Première Vision in Paris, the jury meets again to choose the winners in each of the 4 categories.
At the 2011 PV Awards, the jury, presided over by French designer Roland Mouret, awarded the Grand Jury Prize to EUROMAGLIA, the Handle Prize to TORAY JAPAN, the Innovation Prize to FEDERICO ASPESI and the Imagination Prize to FORSTER WILLI.
Discover those exceptional fabrics at the show in the PV Awards area in the Altman Building.
In this area the visitors can also discover the spring summer 13 Color Card and take a break on sofas produced by the European specialist of inflatable furniture BubblePro.
Last December 5th and 6th the Première Vision fashion team met with its concertation partners and representatives from exhibiting mills, as it does each season. The goal: to provide a summary of trends based on actual observation of the market. For two days the 24 fabric pros and the fashion team discussed fabric colors, fibers, handles and behavior.
This approach, which is unique in the world of fashion, allows Première Vision to provide an inspiring and accurate vision of the upcoming season. The Première Vision fashion team is in constant contact with the market via these weavers and experts, global leaders in the textile world.
It is this information - summarized, analyzed, and illustrated using fabrics from the PVPNY exhibitors - that you will discover at the Trend Tasting seminars presented by Sabine Le Chatelier, deputy fashion director of Première Vision Fashion.

Indeed, once a year - for the presentation of the Spring Summer collections Indigo and Première Vision Preview New York are held at the same time and place. Indigo will display on the 2nd 4th and 5th floors of the Metropolitan Pavilion, some of the most renowned international studios. The exhibitors include leading British, American, Italian and French studios presenting unique, highly creative textile and surface designs for all segments of the fashion market (men's, women's, juniors', children's, infant, lingerie, swimwear, sportswear and accessories) and some collections for the home market.
Winter 1213 takes up multi-colors, riskier colors, even for pants, jackets and outerwear. Shifting away from blurriness, visuals, weaves and patterns have neater, more clearly defined contours.
Fabrics adopt body, even weight, while remaining intensely supple. Knits continue their evolution into more structured, yet not stiff, tailored-style items.
Wool exerts its influence In all universes. Softened cardeds generate luxuriously rustic visuals, and warm thick fancies, while light weights suggest truly feminine uses.
The whole era of casual, nonchalant, unstructured clothing continues to move forward,seeking a relaxed, everyday elegance.
Washed and washed-out finishings are more and more subtle. Overdyes and garment-wash techniques win over the chicest wools, silks and cottons.
Can you give us your first impression of the offer?
Alongside the women's offer, which takes the temperature of Fall Winter 12 13 in terms of decoration and fantasy, the menswear offer is particularly rich with almost 20 specialists in suitings and a complementary shirtings offer. Sportswear is strong too, with outdoor and high-performance fabrics.
What are some of the fashion key points for Fall Winter 12 13?
The exhibitors are currently working on their collections. But, looking ahead, we expect a real profusion of color, with intense plains or delicious multi-colors, and aspects that are even more subtly aged for a relaxed elegance. There's a touch of visual roughness, and surfaces that are somewhat textured, punctuated with glinting or boldly gleaming shine.
What can you tell us about the new Première Vision color range?
It's a color range that generously embraces color, and repositions neutrals as rarer. This inversion of the color/neutral ratio will lend a certain radical quality to the season.
The exhibitors from the Première Vision and ModAmont shows provided help to the Hyères Festival finalists by supplying them with materials (fabrics and accessories). Among these exhibitors, the following companies have already confirmed their participation in the next Première Vision Preview New York: British Millerain & Co Ltd / Dentelle Sophie Hallette/ Riechers Marescot S.A / Limonta SpA / TESJ Div. Duca Visconti di Modrone SpA.

This season, to move even closer into step with market evolutions and product developments, Première Vision created 4 new performance codes.
In the overall trend towards organic and eco-friendly products:
organic: a fabric with a majority of certified-organic natural fibres (cotton, wool, silk, linen).
recycled: a fabric with a majority of recycled fibres, either natural or synthetic.
eco-friendly finishing: to signal a fabric made using dyes and/or finishing treatments meeting the strictest international standards (chemical and energy impact, water resources).
And a new performance code tied to the evolution of technologies:
garment washable: describing a textile – whatever its composition - designed to stand up to dyes, washings and wash-out treatments in already manufactured clothing items.
You can find the Performance Codes indicated on the fabrics presented in the Fabric Forum.
How do you find the suppliers you're looking for with all the exhibitors at the show? Since 2006, Première Vision has been grouping weavers into 4 style universes to facilitate your visit and help you get started building your collections. And at Première Vision Preview New York, the roughly 100 exhibitors are organized in the same unique way.
The Distinction universe targets tailored, structured fashions for the city and business, and men's or women's casual chic. It brings together weavers specialized in wool, cotton or blends for suitings or coats, as well as companies proposing linings and city shirtings. The Seduction universe is the place to find fancy products and fabrics targeting fluid cuts for everyday or special occasions. This style universe includes silkies, jacquards, lace, embroidery and ribbon, in addition to prints, fluid knits, fancy tweeds and fake furs. Head to the Relax universe to find casualwear, sportswear and jeanswear collections. Here are comfortable cottons and synthetics, denims and corduroys, color wovens, knits and prints for relaxed shirtings, dresses and tops. The Pulsation universe groups together innovative wovens and knits, functional fabrics for extreme sports, lingerie and everyday-wear. And don't forget all the makers of buttons, labels, zips, feathers and the other indispensable accessories that round out the fabric offer.
The list of exhibitors for the January show will be available soon!
In a preview showing, The Première Vision color range inspires Première Vision Preview New York with the energy of the Spring Summer I2 color trends.
The story begins when, six months before the session to come, Première Vision gathers some 20 international experts for one of its meeting.
In the course of electrifying discussions, bits of string and pieces of paper, wrinkled paper or tinted plastic convey the subtlety of a tone. First impressions, first impulsions and then the time has already come to choose. A moment to take stock of the essentials; decide between matt and shine; structure the range itself.
From all this variety of cultures, a final project emerges that always has everyone's close support. The tiny colored morsels head off to the printer where, after hours of adjustment, they are transcribed into large numbered paper formats.
The color range is ready and is first presented to the exhibitors and then available for sale at the show in NYC before the worldwide presentation in Paris. It is pointless to look for the Première Vision color range in other color cards; you will never find it exactly as it is.
For each show, the Première Vision fashion team organizes forecasting seminars around the world for buyers, designers and clothing brands.
Six months before the Première Vision show several meetings are organized with fashion professionals and experts from the leading textile countries to establish the fabric directions and color range for the new season.
This fashion information is then communicated to the weavers and later adjusted for buyers depending on the actual textiles presented here in New York. Manhattan kicks off the fashion tour. The Trend Tasting presentation include a film inspired by emerging and influential trends plus a multimedia presentation help to decrypt the main fashion orientations and unveil the predominant textile directions.
The next stop on the map is Sao Paulo with a special Brazil seminar. Then back to Paris where the Première Vision show allows our fashion team to refine the seminars thanks to the forums and the daily Bests surveys. In the end, the fashion seminar has become a forecasting tool for fashion professionals and a statistical reflection of buying trends by market.
Reinforced and enriched, the gathered fashion information is then retransmitted to the public in Moscow, Tokyo and Beijing.
