The six Premiere Vision Awards for 2016 go to...

September 13th, 12.30 pm, the whole fashion industry - weavers, tanners, designers, buyers…, as well as international journalists, got together at the Première Vision Fabrics Forum (Hall 6). They were all eager to discover the winners of the 6 prizes of the 8th PV Awards, and to celebrate textile and leather excellence.

Every year, the PV Awards prizes attribute prizes to the most inventive and innovative fashion textiles, chosen among the fabrics at Première Vision Fabrics. Since last edition, and for the second time this year, the competition also includes leathers presented by the tanners at Première Vision Leather.

Alongside President Olivier Gabet, Director of the Musées des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the prestigious Jury members made their choices from the autumn winter 2017-18 fabrics and leathers selected among exhibitors’ collections for the shows’ forums.

6 prizes have been awarded after a live ceremony: 3 for fabrics and 3 for leathers.
