The UK Fashion and Textile Association (UKFT) will return to Première Vision from 16-18 September 2025 and will accompany a group of 29 British textile companies with their latest collections for AW26/7. Taking place in Paris Nord Villepinte, the show is an important event in the international textile calendar for high-end fabrics and accessories, as well as textile and print designers. UKFT’s work in Paris is supported by the Worshipful Company of Clothworkers.

UKFT is proud to showcase the quality, creativity and innovation of British textiles at Première Vision. With deep roots in textile manufacturing, the UK is home to a legacy of craftsmanship that continues to thrive. Historic centres like West Yorkshire, Lancashire, Manchester and the Scottish Borders have shaped the global textile trade and remain hubs for luxury mills, makers and merchants.

Today, our industry blends heritage with forward-thinking innovation. From advanced machinery to responsible production practices, UK textile companies lead with quality, creativity and a commitment to sustainability.

Known for their durability, refined finish and attention to detail, UK fabrics are trusted by discerning designers and brands worldwide. Our collaborations speak to the versatility and enduring appeal of what we produce.

At the heart of it all is a dynamic design community: pushing boundaries, setting trends and shaping the future of textiles across fashion, interiors and beyond.
