Sustainability and technology are two key subjects around which the Première Vision group has been positioning itself for several years now, to support the creative fashion industry as it evolves. As early as 2015, it launched the Smart Creation study and information platform to promote its exhibitors’ responsible approaches and showcase a new generation of values. At the same time, the Wearable Lab, launched in 2017 at the February editions, explored innovations driven by the advent of new technologies and digitalization to promote connected and intelligent fashions.
Merging these two spaces creates a new universe designed to introduce each edition of Première Vision Paris to the eco-responsible and technological innovations that are already industrially developed and ready to be used in the fashions of today and tomorrow. This is a strong and fundamental development to meet the needs of the international fashion sector’s players - industrial exhibitors and fashion and accessory brands.

Smart Creation takes a global eco-responsible approach founded on 3 pillars and a selection of certifications:
1
THE COMPANY: Social, ethical responsibility and environmental performance.
2
ITS PROCESSES: Traceability and management of chemicals for finishing, tanning & dyeing processes.
3
ITS MATERIALS’ CHOICES: Recycling technologies, organic content, innovative materials (biopolymers & new fibers...)
We believe that to create eco-responsible collections, one must consider all 3 pillars holistically. The following Smart Creation exhibitors have been selected: • For sustainability: on their alignment with the 3 pillars, and they have shown verified certifications. • For technology: on their alignment regarding creativity & innovation
SMART CREATION: 58 exhibitors, 15 identified know-how! RECYCLED MATERIALS
Recycling: the processes by which used and recovered products are transformed into new substances, materials or products, either for the original or a different purpose. All kinds of fibers can be recycled; from cotton to silk to polyester and elastane. Whether natural or synthetic, the recycling of fibers has a lower impact (carbon emissions, water use, land use, etc..) than producing new fibers. Recycling avoids the use of virgin resources and reduces end of life waste. When sourcing recycled products, pay attention to the percentage of recycled material content and look for the GRS & RCS certifications. From the offcuts of garden glove factories bound into flexible leather fiber, recycled polyester from ocean plastics or textile scraps upcycled into yarns: discover: Recyc Leather, Waste2Wear and Recover.
ORGANIC MATERIALS
Organic: grown without using chemical fertilizers, pesticides nor genetically modified seeds. Cotton is the world’s most common natural fiber and organically grown cotton the largest category of organic fibers, which includes silk, wool, flax and hemp. In broad terms, organic agriculture is less polluting and uses less water, benefitting soil biodiversity, the environment and farmers’ health. When sourcing your organic materials, the percentage of organic content is important, and OCS 100 and GOTS are global references; the latter certifying also compliance to environmental, chemical & social criteria for all processing steps. From organic cotton grown naturally colored, requiring no dyeing, to reviving Ugandan cotton farms with organic cultivation: discover Natural Color Cotton and Cotonea.
TRACEABILITY
Traceability: the tools offering the guaranteed identification of the history of a material or product along its production chain: its provenance, its location, use and segregation throughout the processing steps, all the way to its distribution. Unravelling the supply chain, traceability helps to ensure clothes are made with respect for workers and the environment, from farm to fiber to shop floor. Be it blockchain, real-time data-sharing or DNA kits binding its history to the material itself, discover how advancing technologies are streamlining intelligence-gathering down the supply chain: Filo d’Oro, Nativa Precious Fiber, The ID factory, Tricolor, Varvaressos, Haelixa and Verisium By Kaspersky Lab

everything for the garment or retailing that’s not the fabric itself. The smallest parts of a garment are often the most overlooked in terms of sustainability, yet the volume of components required for the global textile industry means small changes can add up to big differences. From zippers remade from ocean plastics, to plastic hangers upcycled over again, buttons made from rice husks to tags fashioned from denim waste: discover Knopf Budke, Mainetti, YKK Group and Cadica Group
RESPONSIBLE YARNS
Minimizing impact. Sustainability begins at the fiber. By some estimates, 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined at this first stage: raw material extraction or cultivation and primary transformation. Choosing the right material to begin with is essential. From non-violent silk to driving linen to a new world of innovation, cellulose fibers sourced from certified forests to by-products of cotton, discover Bemberg by Asahi Kasei, Naia™ from Eastman, Cocccon, Linen Dream lab by CELC
RESPONSIBLE FABRICS
Responsible materials meet responsible processes: Responsible fabrics combine the choice of more virtuous materials (recycled, organic, renewable…) with mindful processing that’s also lower impact: improving water and energy efficiency, minimizing chemical usage and eliminating wastewater load in effluents. From bio-based polyamides to making fabrics using polymers sourced from recycled fishing nets. To making the environmental steps – turning a by-product of dyeing into a material for green construction - towards a lower carbon business, discover: Tintex, RDD textiles, Innova fabrics, Chargeurs PCC, Ecosimple, Komatsu Matere, Pyrates Smart Fabrics
Newness out of less: from seemingly nothing, nanoelements, industry waste or proteins, nextgeneration thinking delivers new materials with entirely original aesthetics & characteristics, while minimizing impacts. Lab-grown clothes or sportwear made from graphene – otherwise used to clear oil spills-, discover a world of innovation. Fibers reborn from agricultural side streams – apple peel or pineapple leaves waste to yarn spun from banana plants or wood micro laser cut into a new flexibility, discover: Spiber, Directa Plus, Frumat, Piñatex, Nova Kaeru, Bananatex and Nuo - Touch the Wood Evolution.

From mineral and botanical dyes extracted from seaweed, or using the natural coloring agents saved from food waste like rooibos tea to water-free dyeing processes: discover Greendyes, Taylor Home & Fashions and Toyoshima Food Textile Labo.
True circularity or closing the loop means every garment is recycled into a new garment. Currently less than 1% of used clothing is turned back into new clothes. Working towards a circular fashion industry, from a dissolvable thread to instantly disassemble garments at scale, discover Resortecs. Or transforming textile and agricultural waste streams into new fibers, meet: Circular Systems.
PRINTING PROCESS
When the very fabric itself delivers beyond its aesthetic – to minimize the impact of its lifespan. Clothes that can be washed less and worn longer. From stainfree shirting fabrics to clothes made to reduce odors, discover Induo and Polygiene.
Printing can be both chemical and water intensive. Solutions lie in waterless printing, non-toxic printing pastes and the use of recycled materials within printing processes. Discover waterless, indigo-free dyeing for the washed denim look at Censai by Debs, to non-toxic printing pastes and water-based dyes at Estamparia Adalberto Pinto da Silva.

BANANATEX Turning banana fiber into technical fabric COMPANY :
Since it was founded in 2008, the Swiss bag brand QWSTION has been on a quest to make functional and durable bags from renewable natural resources. That led to the 2015 rediscovery of “ Banana Hemp ” or “Abacá”, a sturdy banana tree, whose growth is helping to reforest parts of the Philippines laid bare by palm plantations, its strong roots helping to avoid erosion. Growing in a natural environment, without pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers or irrigation, the plant regenerates in 1 year after harvest. Following three years of research & development in collaboration with QWSTION’s weaving partner in Taipei, Taiwan, the process to make Bananatex® was perfected. The fiber is turned into a paper, which is then cut into extremely strong strips that are twisted and spun into yarn. Rendered waterproof through the application of beeswax, Bananatex® is “the world’s first durable, waterproof fabric made purely from banana plants.”

White gold is traditionally produced through gold and rhodium or palladium alloys. But the white gold produced that way lacks either brightness or durability, which limited its applications for the luxury industry; and it wasn’t adapted to gold plating, which restricted its use for costume jewelry. Daumet solves both those issues by creating the first patented gold/tungsten alloy, the world’s first both extremely bright and durable white gold. To achieve this, Daumet developed a patented process to blend the two materials, with very different fusion temperatures, under the form of vapor. Thus opening the way to gold plating with white gold, while avoiding traditional electroplating with its water and chemical intensive baths. Reducing its environmental impact at every step: tungsten is more readily available than rhodium & palladium, and after using only recycled gold, DAUMET has taken a step forward in its responsible approach by obtaining FAIRMINED certification, for a lower carbon footprint overall. It is thus committed to supporting artisanal mining communities in their economic and social development and to ensuring that the environmental impact of gold mining is limited.

For its color blends, Recover collects already-dyed fibres, so no dye needs to be added. In collaboration with the University of Valencia, Recover can provide customers the energy and water savings data for each of its products: comparing the 15,000 liters of water needed for 1 kilo of virgin cotton, to 0 liters needed for its’ upcycled cotton. Recover is developing circularity partnerships with brands to collect products from their customers.
PRODUCTS/PROCESES:
Upcycled cotton blends with post-industrial wool cutting scraps, pre- and post-consumer denim garments, RPET bottles, Tencell organic cotton.

RECYC LEATHER Softer recycled leather COMPANY:
Made from the off-cuts of garden glove production, Recyc Leather is a blended leather fiber, that retains all its suppleness. Founded in 2016 by Aron Yu, who has been designing recycled leather bookbinding products for his brand Paperthinks; he realized recycled leather was used mostly as a reinforcing material for shoe soles, furniture trims and the middle layer of belts. It had limited uses due to its’ brittleness. Sourcing exclusively from gardening glove factories preconsumer wastage, where leather has undergone very little treatment, Recyc Leather shreds the offcuts before rebinding them into new panels using natural latex to produce a lighter fiber with outstanding strength and the traditional look & feel of genuine leather.

RESORTECS Disassembly of apparel made easy COMPANY:
With the ambition to foster a circular fashion economy, Resortecs, a 2017 start-up, invented a dissolvable thread to ease garment disassembly and recycling. Compatible with current stitching machines, Smart Stitch dissolves at high temperatures, speeding up the previously labor-intensive removal of zippers and buttons. The fabric itself, withstanding high temperatures for the 5 minutes required for disassembly, is easily taken apart and can be remade. Offering two thread types, one dissolving at 160°C, for clothing items normally not ironed, such as leather and sports wear; and one at 195°C, for garments ironed during use.

3S35
In the innovative world of biofabricated technologies, spider silk, 340 times tougher than steel, inspired Spiber’s research into the potential of proteins to create entirely new textile materials. The company’s Brewed Protein™ technology creates fibers, films, and further material types through its’ proprietary fermentation (brewing) process. These lab-grown materials can be engineered on demand for diverse properties – to be hydrophobic, or more elastic for instance. For North Face, Spiber collaborated on the Moon Parka, creating its resistant outer shell from Brewed Protein.™ The Moon Parka was commercialized in 2019 after four years prototyping. Further high-fashion collaborations include with Sacai and Yuima Nakazato at Paris Fashion Week. Ready to scale up its innovation, Spiber is building a world-class structural protein production facility in Thailand, due to open in 2021. For Spiber, which is targeting the automobile industry, plus fields such as medicine, construction, aerospace and robotics, proteins will become the basic industrial material of the future, like metals, glass or plastic today. Biotechbased and thus animal-free, such materials are also free from microplastics.
PRODUCTS/PROCESES:
-Highly versatility Brewed Protein™ materials made by modifying DNA sequences that code proteins. -Made through Spiber’s fermentation process using plant sugars as primary raw ingredient. -Biotech-based, thus animal-free and free from microplastics. - Biodegradability: since properties of Spiber’s structural protein materials can be controlled by designing their amino acid sequences, biodegradability can vary from product to product. Preliminary tests show Brewed Protein™ can biodegrade in various environments.
