Première Vision Blossom, the trade show dedicated to Spring/Summer 2024 pre-collections of fabric, leather and accessories, will be held at the Carreau du Temple venue in central Paris on December 14-15. The event is expected to host about 100 exhibitors, many of them from outside France, for an edition that will introduce a change in the event’s calendar.

PV Blossom was previously held every six months, but this year it has become an annual event, as Première Vision Paris, the organisers’ main trade show, has shifted from a September slot to a July one, much earlier in the seasonal calendar. A date change that has been reportedly approved by 69% of the participants consulted by Première Vision.

Among the exhibitors expected to take part in PV Blossom’s December 2022 edition, there will be 66 fabric manufacturers, 16 leather specialists, and a dozen producers of accessories and garment finishing supplies.

Italy will once again be the most represented country among the exhibitors, with 58 producers on show. There will also be 27 exhibitors from France, and others from Portugal, Spain and Germany. From outside Europe, there will be three Japanese companies, A-Girls, JA Fabric

After opening the season with PV Blossom, the French show organiser will hold the next PV New York edition on January 17-18, followed by PV Paris on February 7-9. The latter’s previous edition, held on July 4-8, was attended by more than 23,000 industry professionals.
