A must-see event for fashion professionals around the world, Premiere Vision Fabrics draws thousands of visitors to its bi-annual Paris trade show each season. As one of the world's leading fabric fairs, the event showcases directional collections by over 750 exhibitors from 35 international countries, offering up essential new season fashion directions 18 months in advance. For the Fall/Winter 2016-17 edition, Premiere Vision fused cultural, creative and technological concepts for a fresh modern-day appeal. Styles on show blended industry and futurism with contemporary crafts and rustic nature, making for a forward aesthetic based firmly in the present. Autumnal comfort was also key to fabric collections, with themes of 'flawed beauty' adding a softly distressed twist to lightweight suitings, padding and quilting. Here, FashionUnited readers are presented with three inspirational new materials trends analysed from Premiere Vision Paris Fall/Winter 2016-17.

Lunar Crinkle

Technical materials are transformed with crisp, crunchy finishes to create a crinkled and wrinkled effect. To achieve a futuristic look, a lunar-inspired glow can be introduced to cratered surfaces with the use of shimmering metallic finishes or dark Space Age colourways.

Soft Pixels

High-tech pixel prints are softened for Fall/Winter with muted tones and blurry effects, updating fabrics with a contemporary digitised aesthetic. For a high-end appeal, technical looks translate to luxury level with burn-out lacy textures and satin finishes.

Scandi Inspired

Ideal for cold weather collections, we see comforting knits executed in soft woolly yarns reference traditional Scandinavian patterns. Elsewhere, Nordic interiors inspire graphic upholstery prints with a retro feel. Surfaces range from soft to rustic.
