Italian term or phrase: le premieres
This is from an magazine article about a fashion parade, these is a borrowed french term and I have no idea what it means in this context. The fashion designer is talking about the first time she met Valentino.
Thank you:
Non dimentichero' mai la prima volta in cui sono entrata nel'atelier, con le premieres che mi hanno accompagnato a incontrare Valentino. Un logo da sogno.

Explanation:
I know this is the basic term in French and, if nothing else, you could putthe "premières" (using the English article in the same way as the Italians have used the definite article in Italian). Not sure if there's a translation in English - will look
