AND THE 6 PV AWARDS PRIZES FOR 2015 GO TO…
th
This last September, 15 , the whole fashion industry -weavers, tanners, designers, buyers…-, as well
as international journalists came together at the Première Vision Fabrics Forum (Hall 6). They were all
th
eager to discover the winners of the 6 prizes of the 7 PV Awards, and to celebrate textile and leather
excellence.
For the first time this year, the ceremony took place on the first day of the Première Vision Paris shows.
One change that was not the only one for this stimulating event. Actually, if the PV Awards used to
attribute prizes to the most inventive and innovative fashion textiles, chosen among the fabrics at
th
Première Vision Fabrics, the 7 edition had opened its competition to leathers presented by the tanners
at Première Vision Leather.
This showcase of modern textile and leather creativity had led to a reorganisation of the event itself. In
place of the 4 usual prizes, 6 different awards have been awarded: 3 for fabrics and 3 for leathers.
Alongside Presidents Livia Stoianova and Yassen Samouilov, founders of the Haute Couture brand ON
AURA TOUT VU, the prestigious jury members made their choices from the autumn winter 2016-17
fabrics and leathers selected among exhibitors’ collections for the shows’ forums.
