Premiere Classe, the Parisian trade show dedicated to fashion accessories organized by Who's Next, takes place from March 3 to 6, 2023 in the heart of the Tuileries Garden.

The partnership between Premiere Classe and the Festival international de mode, de photographie et d’accessoires Hyères, was confirmed again this edition. It has allowed former finalists to structure their businesses by benefitting from visibility at the trade show. Three former finalists are returning as exhibitors: jewelry designer Christophe Lhote, finalist of the 32nd festival and Grand Prix de la création de la ville de Paris in the category of Fashion/Talent Confirmed. The artist of designer bags of reasoned manufacture Lou Chartres, finalist of the 36th edition, present at the trade show during the last edition of October 2022 and returns this year with its own stand. Finally, the Taiwanese designer WXY, finalist for accessories in the 38th edition of the festival, is in the Brut Icon selection this year.

The trade show will host the winners of the 37th edition of the Festival: Jenny Hytönen Grand Prix Première Vision and Audience Award, Sini Saavala L’Atelier des Matières Award, Joshua Cannone Grand Prix de l’accessoire, Lola Mossino x Indra Eudaric with a joint project - Hermès Fashion Accessories Award and Audience Award and as a special guest, Capucine Huguet, winner of the 36th edition Grand Prix de l’accessoire.
