The 13th edition of Interfilière Hong Kong will host the PolyU Intimate Fashion Show: Up-and-Coming Designers competition on 20 March 2019. The event is organised by the Institute of Textiles & Clothing of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and supported by the Hong Kong Intimate Apparel Industries' Association (HKIAIA).

The fashion show will feature 36 original garments, designed and brought to live by 12 selected final year students from the BA Hons degree programme in Fashion and Textiles with Specialism in Intimate Apparel and Activewear at PolyU.

“Possessing true passion and unique vision for the body fashion universe, the creative minds are expected to present their innovative collections enriched with strong identity and captivating storytelling,” the organisers explain.

A competition among the 12 students’ collections will simultaneously take place during the fashion show, where six finalists will be selected by the Jury composed of international experts from the intimate apparel industry. The six winners will be able to showcase their full collections (six garments per collection) during the ITC Fashion shows held on 13 June at the HKCEC.

Interfilière Hong Kong, the leading international show for intimates, swimwear and performance sourcing and fabrics, is open to producers of knitted and woven fabrics, lace, embroidery, braid, trimmings, ribbon, elastic, supplies and accessories, as well as designers, producers of fibres or machines and manufacturers offering local production capacities.

“Shaking up tradition trade show codes, Interfilière Hong Kong gives industry players a flexible new format based on networking opportunities. This two-day event is an exclusive event bringing together the top brands and a selection of the most innovative mills, accessories suppliers and OEM/ODM companies from all over the world. Never the less, the show maintains its role as a trend forecaster,” say organisers.
