Welcome
Interfilière’s mood upbeat - vendors see return to value
 Debra Johnston Cobb reports from Paris
1
February 2010 - The January 2010's Salon International de la Lingerie and
Interfilière impressed buyers and vendors with a return to traditional
values-not only in the sense of offering value for money, but with a kinder,
gentler spirit that was manifest in the season's trends as well as in various
charitable initiatives.
While
the venue was more compact, attendance numbers inched up, with Interfilière
reporting 11,120 visitors against 11,066 in January 2009. Visitors at the SIL
and Interfilière combined were 29,928, a 20% increase according to the Eurovet
organization.
"Nowhere
else can you meet so many buyers of such high quality," remarked Eurovet's
spokeswoman at the opening press conference, where the SIL presented Designer
of the Year award to Freya Lingerie, and embroiderer Junior SRL ArteRicami by
Adele Zibetti was lauded by Interfilière.
