Held from September 20-24, 2021, the face to face x digital hybrid show Premiere Vision Paris, showcased the Autumn/Winter 2022-’23 fashion trends comprising bright colors, patterns, flamboyant prints and large-scale motifs in the trend areas. The exhibition’s digital market platform showed rows of different knitted swatches in various colorways, several with high proportions of fine wool like 80 per cent wool /20 per cent polyester. Knitted jacquard fabrics and jerseys were seen in grouped collections from Portugal, France and individual mills from Turkey and China.
Classic suit collections were displayed by a good number of luxury British and Italian exhibitors revisiting classics, adding touches of colour and changing the size of checks and designs. Smart Creation, the eco-based section of Premiere Vision, included developments in tracking by testing DNA, one of the advances in this area. In another initiative, HarrisTweed Hebrides and British Wool are partnering to launch authenticated and traceable wool to the market with tech company FibreTrace.
