For its 32nd edition taking place this January 19 and 20, 2016, Première Vision New York already known for its premium offer of fabrics, accessories and textile designs, also includes leather and manufacturing. The event, already the North American market leader, thus becomes a unique destination for buyers to develop collections, now bringing five activity sectors together under one roof.
Some 364 companies, each selected according to strict Première Vision criteria, will be present at Pier 94. The 30 companies premiering in the leather space are distinguished by the exceptional quality of products for both clothing and high-end leather goods. Among them are: Samanta and its fantasy skins, Tanneries Haas, offering an extraordinary palette of calf skins for leather goods, Nova Kaeru and its exotic skins, and lambskin specialists Mégisserie Lauret, RG Deri, CKD Cetinkaya, and Cuirs du Futur. The show is also a unique opportunity to meet Megisserie Alric, winner of the 2015 PV Awards Grand Jury Prize for the most outstanding and pertinent development in the season’s leathers.
The manufacturing universe welcomes 26 specialists with multiple know-hows for womenswear and menswear, particularly for high-end suits. There is a notable presence of several Moroccan companies, including the Modaline holding, whose production is already 70 per cent destined for the American market. To be noted also the attendance of Portuguese companies Goucam and Montagut Industries and the Japanese knit specialist Shima Seiki. The show also hosts Manufacture New York, a consortium of fashion entrepreneurs, high-end manufacturers, technologists and educators showcasing an innovative vision of a vertically integrated Made in NY supply chain.
The event will include a mentorship and sourcing bar, workshops, panel discussions and demonstrations of fashion’s best equipment and techniques.
