For this edition #23 commencing Saturday the 27th of January at the Parc Floral de Paris Playtime Paris embraces the theme of mutation ‘changeover’. Throughout the three days there will be over 540 brands to discover, including 100 new exhibitors. With this edition’s trends: Agricool, Flow and Renew, Playtime has invited some exciting designers to interpret the themes.
The Playtime team sincerely believe that fashion has a role to play in outlining the world of tomorrow. As such Playtime have supported a number of socially conscious and creative exhibitions taking place over the three days – by Marie Claire Enfant, Doolittle, Pirouette and Frederique Daubal for Kid’s Wear Magazine. We for one can’t wait for the 23rd edition of Playtime Paris to discover all the new collections, new exhibitors and lap up Playtime’s unique creative environment. So let’s share a little more of what to look out for…
‘A girl in this world’

Around the world girls face different challenges over being born female. Their right to be here, to learn, make their own decisions, forge their own future, to simply own their own land or pursue their dreams should not be questioned, but yet remains a work in progress…We want to thank Playtime for collaborating with Pirouette for our Screen capture exhibition ‘A girl in this world’.
Pirouette asks the question “What does it mean to be a girl in this world? ” to 10 international female photographers working in the kid’s fashion industry. Each photographer is asked to respond to the question with an image of their making and an accompanying text. The aim of the exhibition is to celebrate and promote International female photographers working in the kid’s fashion sector whilst allowing them to explore the theme of what it means to be a girl today.
We want to thank Playtime for collaborating with the Pirouette Screen capture exhibition ‘a girl in this world’ and thank our wonderful group of female photographers for taking part!
