Denim Première Vision charts a course for spring/ summer 2027

Denim Première Vision will stage its spring/ summer 2027 edition at Milan’s Superstudio Più on November 26 and 27. The event will bring together 65 exhibitors, including 45 textile manufacturers.

Around fifteen nationalities will be represented among the exhibitors at this Italian edition, which will notably include five accessories manufacturers serving the industry (zips, buttons, rivets, etc.), as well as three yarn and fibre manufacturers—Casati Flock, Mic, and XLance. The show will also feature around a dozen garment manufacturers, with notable representation from Turkey, Italy, China, and Portugal.

“This is something interesting and new because, several years ago, we didn’t have any garment manufacturers from Portugal. Today we have two, Pizarro and IVN Industria,” the show’s director, Fabio Adami Dalla Val, told FashionNetwork.com. He also welcomed the presence of around 10 Japanese companies at this edition.

Conceived as a global showcase for developments in denim, the show will present its “Denim Fashion District” for the eighth time. Curated by designer Olivia Spinelli and Opaa Studio, this space will spotlight the work of 23 innovative brands, including Adriano Goldschmied of Daily Blue.

The show will also feature a trends area. “This is the heart of the show,” its director emphasises. “The aim is to give visitors a relevant, comprehensive overview of what’s happening in denim, whether in terms of trends, materials or technology.” This area will also host the Underrated project, which brought together manufacturers, weavers and print specialists around designer Kristian Guerra to create a collection.

A programme of conferences will accompany these two days of meetings, with several sessions on trends for spring/ summer 2027, as well as talks by G-Star creative directors Lisi Herrebrugh and Rushemy Botter. An industry debate will bring together Maurizio Donadi of Champion, Adriano Goldschmied, and the duo Manuela Mariotti and Massimo Berloni, co-founders of Seafarer.

The strategic issue of dyeing will also be explored in a conference bringing together three innovative players in the field: US-based Chloris for its bio-based blue dyes produced via microbial fermentation, Italy’s Officina 39 for its sustainable dyes and pigments, and the UK’s Infinity Blue for its process to recover indigo from textile waste.

The previous edition of Denim Première Vision, held in Milan on 21 and 22 May, attracted 2,100 visitors and 84 exhibitors.
