The summer edition of Interfilière Paris, a leading international show for intimates, swimwear and performance sourcing and fabrics, will open its doors from 8-10 July 2017 at the Paris Expo, Paris, France, with an artistic and technical theme – textile printing for lingerie, beachwear, and sportswear.

In synergy with Mode City, the 'Salon International de la Lingerie et du Swimwear', the event 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.

Innovation Forum

One of the highlights of the upcoming event is the Innovation Forum, organisers report. With a topic Forecasts for Printing, the forum will allow visitors the opportunity to learn more about the issue from the Fédération de la Maille et de la Lingerie.

“Innovation is at the heart of all the news and shaking up the worlds of fashion and beauty with hybrid, bio-imitation materials and techniques that are continually being perfected, like those used in textile printing, the focus of Interfilière Paris Innovation Forum in July,” organisers explain.

With a new search for performance in terms of support, comfort, lightness, and resistance, exhibitors will present their new products, creativity, and excellence in fibres, fabrics, accessories, textile design, and more, focusing specifically on 3D printing, connected apparel, smart and emotional textiles.

Trend forums

The trade fair will also feature forums presenting the latest Autumn/Winter 18-19 trends, with an exclusive Summer 19 preview. The General Forum will present lingerie and loungewear fabric trends, and Momenti di Passione will reveal beachwear and activewear fabric trends, both in the same space.

Interfilière is a platform for making contacts and doing business, where all the professionals in the international lingerie and beachwear markets come together.

“The trade show is an incubator for progressive thinking and an accelerator for trends,” say organisers. “Interfilière explains what consumers want and anticipates evolutions in growth markets. More than ever before, it’s the reflection of a constantly changing international market that’s driven by innovation and performance.”
