Stronger together! The Première Vision Pluriel shows again reaffirm the strength of their unique ensemble. For the edition that just closed (8-10 February 2011), attendance climbed by 6.5% compared to the February 2010 session, with 55,792 visits by fashion professionals from over 100 countries. This remarkable vitality was driven by the dynamism of each individual show, with all six events (Expofil, Première Vision, Indigo, Le Cuir à Paris, ModAmont, Zoom by Fatex) registering increases.
The rise in numbers was accompanied by a very positive business climate at all the shows. Beyond the enthusiastic reception for the season's new creations and innovations, discussion in the aisles and stands focussed on the soaring prices of raw materials and supplies. This is an issue of uncertainty and often concern for fashion sector businesses, and will surely play a major role in the markets in the coming months.
The success of ZOOM by fatex confirms the anticipation of an industry upturn and the increased advantages of close-proximity manufacturing in the Euromed zone.
