Blossom PV expands to include garment manufacturing and living heritage

Blossom Première Vision, the trade show dedicated to luxury houses’ pre-collections, will take place from June 3-4, 2026 at the Carreau du Temple in Paris’s third arrondissement. For this edition, focused on the autumn-winter 2027-2028 season, the event is evolving to include a manufacturing offer, as well as companies recognised for their ‘Living Heritage’ craftsmanship.

This evolution was announced as early as October, when GL Events’ Fashion division decided to discontinue the Made in France PV show, previously held each April at the Carreau du Temple. Dedicated to French manufacturing, its offer was then set to be redeployed across the Première Vision Paris and Blossom PV shows.

The announced selection includes specialists in Lyonnais silk weaving, printing, haute couture lace, and leather tanning. Iconic names such as Mégisserie Alran, Tanneries Arnal, Sophie Hallette, Soieries Cheval, Tissages Perrin, and Kiplay will exemplify this French expertise.

The inclusion of a dedicated manufacturing offer marks another significant shift for the event, which had previously focused on materials for the pre-collections of major houses and high-end brands. This new component brings together members of the Groupement de la Fabrication Française (GFF) and Mode Grand Ouest.

Among the 14 manufacturers and workshops announced are Atelier d’Ariane, Bocage Avenir Couture, Femilux, Fim, France Luxury Shirt, JC Confection, Les Plissés de France, and PR3, with expertise spanning pleating, structural shaping, and precision stitching.

This revamped edition of Blossom will bring together a selection of more than 75 international exhibitors, with a predominantly European footprint led by France, Italy, and the UK. The format will remain deliberately intimate, welcoming decision-makers from major houses and niche suppliers, while now covering the entire upstream textile value chain.

The show will also feature a seasonal Forum structured around the concept of “Living Matter.” This immersive space will present new textile developments and an exclusive colour palette, while shining a spotlight on product transformation. In parallel, the Blooming Talent programme will highlight a young designer, whose identity will be revealed at the opening, offering a hybrid approach that combines intricate embroidery with artificial flowers for the contemporary wardrobe.

Maison Guigou, founded in 1826 and a long-standing partner of houses such as Chanel and Alaïa, will take the opportunity to celebrate its bicentenary. Since 2025 it has been part of Bugis, which also oversees Sfate and Combier; the company will present an anniversary installation directed by Olivia Philibert.
