Hyères Festival: supporting the creativity of the future
Since 2011, Première Vision has been a partner of the International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Fashion Accessories in Hyères, which is held every year at the end of April at the Villa Noailles. At the end of the competition, a jury of prominent industry professionals awards three prizes for fashion, including the Première Vision Grand Prix du Jury.
The first step in the partnership is to put the 10 Fashion finalists and the 10 Accessories finalists chosen by the Festival Jury in contact with the exhibitors who will supply them with the raw materials. Yarns, fabrics, accessories, and manufacturing … All these precious resources help the finalists produce the collections they will present at the Festival in the spring.
To this end, the finalists are invited to the February edition of Première Vision Paris, where they benefit from privileged access to exhibitors from around the world.
Following the results announced by the Hyères Festival jury, the winner of the Première Vision Grand Prix du Jury is awarded €20,000.
