The Première Vision textile show ended this evening after a two day run at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City. This year the show added a special presentation along with the textile merchants. Looks from ten young fashion designers, finalist of the 26 Hyères Festival which took place in the south of France was displayed at the show. Each designers creation was innovative and out of this world fantastic. Designer Céline Metéil was the winner of the Première Vision Prize. Her all white collection was very structured yet light and transparent. Each piece had a three dimensional quality that made them very interesting. The other designers presented were Oriane Leclercq, Juliette Alleaume and Marie Vial, Mads Dinesen, Michael Kampe, Maryam Kordbacheh, Janosch Mallwitz, Oda Pausma, Emilie Meldem, and Léa Peckre. Each designers piece was beautiful and a work of art.

Textile Exhibitors:
The textile exhibit was just as impressive, and for fall 2012/13 fabrics with textures, shine, and patterns are key. The show was broken down into four categories, Seduction, Distinction, Relax, and Pulsation. Each category featured an abundance of fabrics by exhibitors with like similarities. For-instance, the Relax group featured fabrics for casualwear, jeanswear, and sportswear, while Seduction feature fabrics that were fluid and fanciful. The companies showing here are from different countries all over the world, and the show attracts fashion designers, buyers, press, and many industry professionals in the US and overseas. In addition, Premiere Vision offers trend forecasting seminars; and display a big color wall with the seasons key color trends. Color cards are also available for purchase $$$$. Overall the two day event was worth it. As a designer, sourcing for new fabric is a constant, and events like this offer a great resource to individuals who normally are not able to find and work with such companies. The next Premiere Vision Preview New York show will be held on January 10-11 2012 at the Metropolitan Pavilion and Altman Building.
