PREMIER VISION_ PARIS
I had been the previous year, and had (understandably)been completely overwhelmed. Upon arriving, I liked to think I would know were I was going and what I was looking at, but purely from the sheer size of it I knew I wasn't going to feel completely comfortable.
After exploring it last year, I went to this show with different intentions. Hall 5, the design hall, was the place I was most interested in. In this hall, premier vision invited hundreds of different brands and universities from all over the world to show their work and promote their designs. It was very interesting to look at the current trends and styles that the brands had adopted. It was also a good opportunity to make contacts. Most stalls had business cards and ways of contacting, so I collected those that I was interested in. Some stalls were more welcoming to students than others, and encouraged conversations about work placements and what they offered as a company.
For me, it was good experience talking to potential companies. however the brands at premier vision throughout are very textile and fabric lead- there wasn't much in relation to fashion construction which is where I hoped to gain work experience from. Although I am interested in textiles for fashion, I do not feel I have strong enough skills (from concentrating on fashion construction) to pursue a work placement within textiles.
