The three creative directions for Spring/Summer 2026: outlined by Premiere Vision
At the heart of its Spring-Summer 2026 preview, Première Vision introduces three creative themes that reflect the fashion industry's response to climate challenges, societal shifts, and the ongoing drive for sustainability. Under the titles RE-FRESH, RE-SET, and RE-STORE, the season points to a future defined by innovation, sensorial experience, and respect for traditional knowledge. RE-FRESH: Freshness at the heart of innovation The RE-FRESH theme explores the potential of industrial and technological advancements to meet the growing demand for comfort and well-being in a warming world. From biotechnology to artificial intelligence, innovation is centered on temperature regulation and enhancing physical and emotional ease. This direction imagines a serene summer influenced by icy and Nordic atmospheres, where silence and oxygen become essential elements of design, and digital tools create space for expanded creativity. Visuals are led by water in its many states, liquid, gas, and solid, translating into colors that range from transparent and vaporous to milky or organically textured. This fluid aesthetic brings with it sensations of purity, calm, and revitalizing freshness. Credits: Premiere Vision RE-SET: A new hedonism With RE-SET, the focus turns to the present moment and the liberating power of joy. As a counterbalance to the uncertainties of our time, this theme encourages fashion to explore hedonism, playful expression, and new forms of urban conviviality. The emphasis is on collective well-being and inclusivity, reimagining the city as a dynamic, shared space for sensory delight and creative experimentation. Credits: Premiere Vision The color range evokes warmth and softness, featuring tones reminiscent of sun-warmed skin and candied fruit peels. These hues suggest tactile pleasure and subtle sensuality, creating harmonious contrasts that speak to both comfort and indulgence. RE-STORE: Repair, reinvent, restore The third theme, RE-STORE, addresses the fashion system's need for repair and regeneration. Centered on the principles of sustainability and circular design, this direction values reuse, resource awareness, and the revival of artisanal expertise. It calls for a thoughtful balance between innovation and heritage, where ancestral know-how is reinterpreted through contemporary approaches. Color palettes in this theme reflect this duality. Earthy, grounded tones are contrasted with luminous accents, symbolizing the dialogue between tradition and modernity. The resulting aesthetic conveys resilience, continuity, and the capacity for reinvention. Credits: Premiere Vision A season of renewal and responsibility Together, the RE-FRESH, RE-SET, and RE-STORE themes encapsulate the multi-dimensional renewal taking place across the fashion industry. Spring-Summer 2026 signals a season shaped by intention, offering designers and brands tools to align creativity with responsibility, ushering in a more conscious and emotionally resonant future for fashion.

Bluezone Organizers Energized by New Format and ‘Edu-tainment' Program
Bluezone, the German denim B2B event organized by Munich Fabric Start Exhibitions GmbH, is in a state of transformation. In April, the organizer announced the departure of managing director, Sebastian Klinder. Peter C. Dumont and Florian Klinder were appointed new managing directors, tasked with the job to strengthen Munich Fabric Start as a one-stop shop sourcing solution for designers. More from Sourcing Journal Trade Show Organizers Brace for Geopolitical Headwinds Trump's Tariffs Are a Hot Topic Among Shoe Execs at Micam Milan Première Vision: Sustainability Slows as AI Gains Momentum Amid Industry Uncertainty A few weeks later the company announced format changes for Bluezone and Keyhouse, a startup and innovation-oriented event. Instead of being in separate buildings, both events will be held at the MOC alongside Munich Fabric Start and The Source on Sept. 2-4. Dumont said described the realignment as a 'forward-looking step,' adding that Bluezone will remain an independent denim hub with international appeal. The changes underscores Bluezone's effort to adapt and stay plugged into the evolving needs of the denim industry. Here Panos Sofianos, Bluezone's denim curator, shares his outlook on B2B events and what's next for the trade show. What is the role of a B2B event in 2025 and how is it evolving? Panos Sofianos: The evolving role of B2B Denim trade shows in 2025 is transforming from traditional trade shows that were primarily showcasing new products and material developments toward a broader approach. They will be still a platform to launch and present novelties, however the focus shifts toward networking, education, collaboration and implementing technology. Building and strengthening relationships within the industry is easier when you meet in person. Getting educated in seminars, workshops or trend forecasting sessions is possible on a broader scale when industry players with different expertise meet at one place. Establishing new collaborations on existing challenges is being enabled when you address the problem and concrete action points within the network of a trade show and its experts from different fields of competence. Furthermore, trade shows gain importance in sharing the latest technology tools and best practices on current challenges in the market. Sustainability, responsible practices, and e-conscious solutions toward a circular economy remain the main evolving topics that the denim industry still needs to focus on. In essence, 2025 trade shows will be about building relationships as a driving force for change, staying educated, driving innovation, establishing sustainability as a given fact, networking and connecting as well as creating memorable experience. Why do you think exhibitors and attendees choose to attend Bluezone? PS: Our 'edu-tainment' program with a broad range of expert talks, keynotes, panel discussions and trend forecasting is working very well. It underlines the importance for education, networking and connecting with like-minded people as well as encourages to address challenges in the market to find solutions together. As a denim-dedicated show, Bluezone has its own unique atmosphere that is appreciated by exhibitors and attendees alike. Besides that, the fusion of Bluezone and Keyhouse initiated last year turned out to be a very fruitful and interactive environment. Finally, the international portfolio of established denim mills and weavers that present innovative products, finishes and solutions is key to build on a constantly growing community. We are strongly committed to shift from a 'convenient' trade show to a groundbreaking tech-knowledge initiative. What are some challenges facing B2B denim events? PS: The ongoing global economic challenges as well as price discussions in the textile industry remain the main factors of causing insecurities which in the end make it very challenging to plan events accordingly ahead in time. Besides that, the discussion of the right date and quantity of denim events for the industry becomes a new challenge. The necessity for future B2B denim events will be to stay relevant and interesting enough with a selected portfolio and side program to attract the right buyers, product managers, designers and decision makers that choose Bluezone as their go-to denim and beyond show. How is attendance? PS: 2024 was a challenging year, however against the backdrop of the earlier mentioned economic challenges, we were very happy with the overall result. 2025 started with a good and strong show that recorded a slight increase in visitor numbers which makes us confident for the next months to come. There are trade wars and other conflicts brewing across the globe. How do you think these external factors will affect the denim industry's participation in events? PS: We must sustain and gain the denim game. Our world is experiencing a dynamic momentum where geopolitical liquidity is creating unexpected hurdles. The European textile industry must act and react with well-prepared plans and projects. What's next for Bluezone? PS: We are at a very early stage in the planning right now. You can rest assured that we will do our best to realize another unforgettable, inspiring and vibrant Bluezone and Munich Fabric Start in September that will embrace the relevant innovation fields and meet current market needs. The only thing we can confirm already is that the next Bluezone will be a multidisciplinary edu-tainment event.

Blossom Première Vision show scheduled in Paris on June 4-5
After being held in December only for four years, Blossom Première Vision, the Parisian trade show dedicated to pre-collections for major labels, is back to two editions a year, with the next scheduled on June 4-5. The show will be held at the Carreau du Temple in Paris, and will focus on the AW26/27 season. The organisers have announced the presence of some 80 exhibitors, showcasing their collections of fabrics, leather, accessories, and specialised know-how. Blossom PV will feature for the first time a trend forum, giving a preview of the colour palette for winter 2027, as well as a 'laboratory for the exploration of future trends,' whose theme will be synaesthesia (the production of a sense impression relating to one sense or part of the body by stimulation of another sense). On June 4, the programme includes two new materials masterclasses, focusing respectively on fabric and on leather and skins. 'At a time when certainties have in some cases been blown away, this show will enable all industry players to gather together, find inspiration and inventiveness among highly selected exhibitors, and explore new features and services created to address their challenges,' said Florence Rousson, president of Première Vision's executive board, and general manager of the fashion division of GL Events, owner of Première Vision. Blossom PV was first held in 2016, and had not staged a summer edition since 2019. Initially because of the pandemic, and later because the organiser's main show, Première Vision Paris, moved its September edition forward to July, too close on the calendar to Blossom PV. Before Blossom PV in Paris, the organiser will stage the next edition of Denim Première Vision in Milan on May 21-22.
