Paying tribute to the new athleisure trend, Première Vision, the world's largest fabrics fair, is launching a new Sport & Tech section at its next show on Sept. 19-21, accompanied by conferences on the subject. The initiative has led Polartec and Primaloft to exhibit at the fair, joining 73 other weavers, knitters and finishing firms including Eurojersey and Schoeller. Many other industry leaders that usually show at Ispo and Performance Days will be absent, however.
