This September marks an exciting new chapter as TEX+ shows at Première Vision Paris for the first time in September 2026, showcasing the exceptional textile design creativity, innovation and talent emerging from the UK's leading universities and colleges.

The TEX+ stand, 1B8 in Designs, celebrates a vibrant community of outstanding UK-trained textile designers, bringing together a selection of this year's finalists alongside TEX+ alumni. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover exceptional emerging talent and see how creative careers continue to flourish beyond graduation.

Building on the renowned legacy of Texprint//TexSelect, TEX+ is a charity that champions the next generation of textile designers by creating opportunities through industry connections, professional development and international exposure. At Première Vision Paris, visitors to the booth will experience the breadth of talent nurtured through the programme and meet innovative designers whose work is helping shape the future of textiles.

Expect immersive installations, tactile exhibits and bold textile developments in weave, knit, print, stitch and mixed media that invite engagement with the creative thinking behind the work. From the fresh perspectives of this year's finalists to the inspiring achievements of TEX+’s alumni, the showcase reflects the diversity, originality and craftsmanship defining the next generation of UK textile design.

Before travelling to Paris, the 2026 finalists will present their collections at the TEX+ Finalists' Showcase, held at Chelsea College of Arts on 15–16 July 2026. This is the first opportunity to see the complete body of work from this year's finalists, meet the designers and experience the energy and ambition of the next wave of textile talent, before a selection of their work is presented internationally at Première Vision Paris.

The TEX+ team extends an invitation to all visitors and exhibitors at Première Vision Paris in September to stop by the stand, near the entrance to the show, to discover outstanding new talent, source innovative ideas, connect with tomorrow's textile designers and celebrate the success of TEX+ alumni.

"We're thrilled to be exhibiting at Première Vision Paris for the very first time as TEX+. Join us as we celebrate our Première Vision Paris debut as TEX+ and discover the remarkable creativity shaping the future of textile design.
