Next month (from 6th to 8th February 2024) The Interline will again be curating and hosting the technology content programme at Première Vision Paris, as part of the extended European partnership between The Interline and PV teams.
Building on the structure and the themes of prior season sessions – all available to watch on-demand in our recap of last summer’s PV Paris – our Editor-in-Chief will be taking over the Première Vision stage for another full afternoon, to tackle four of fashion’s big ticket topics with a roster of speakers from brands, tech companies, suppliers and other industry backgrounds.
Hosted in the central PV Hub area in Hall 6, which is also home to nearly 30 technology exhibitors this season (alongside an even wider group of material and process innovators under the “Smart Creation” umbrella), the technology conversation for this season will take place between 14:00 and 18:00 on 7th February, and will cover the following topics:
Creating Circularity – 14:00
Ben will be joined by speakers who represent distinctly different – but complementary – parts of the circularity picture, to talk about how upstream visibility, resale platforms, advocacy and consumer education, and data infrastructure could combine to create a circular business model. Featuring:
- Dounia Wone, Chief Sustainability & Inclusion Officer at Vestiaire Collective
- Agathe Roussel, Chief of Development at Fairly Made.
- Pierre-Nicolas Hurstel, CEO at Arianee.
Remastering Manufacturing – 15:00
An exploration of how the relationship between brands and their supply chain partners is changing, and how joint, proactive investment in innovation could be the key to speed, sustainability, and digital transformation. Featuring:
- Stéphane Boivin, Managing Director at Pivot88 – a TradeBeyond company
- Marco Lucietti, Director of Strategic Projects at Sanko Holding ISKO Division
- Louis Oliveira, CEO at Wonder-Raw
Designing Digitally – 16:00
A look at why – and how – a growing number of brands are shifting from analogue to digital product creation, and how that change is affecting the way fashion thinks about the future of creative and technical design, production, sales and marketing, and more. Featuring:
- Charlotte Fabienne Stobrawe, Head of 3D at VILA
- Cyrille Ancely, Digital Product Asset Manager at Decathlon
- Hans Peter Kiemer, CEO at STYLE3D | ASSYST
- Kevin Martin, Co-Founder at Unspun
Accelerating AI – 17:00
How fashion is evolving to meet the possibilities and the threats of AI: from creative design and process orchestration, through to trend analysis, personalisation, traceability and more. Featuring:
- Nicolas Flaud, CEO / Fashion & Luxury Director at IMKI
- Julie Pont, Fashion & Creative Director at Heuritech
- Lisa Lerouge, Market Analyst at TrusTrace
All these panel discussions are open to Première Vision Paris pass-holders, and each session will include time for audience questions and interaction. Other innovation-focused presentations will take place on the separate pitch stage throughout 6th and 7th February.
