Intimate Apparel

Organisers of Interfilière have released details of exhibitors, trends and what designers and buyers can expect from this July's show in Paris.

For its second edition, Interfilière Paris will be occupying Pavilion 1 at Porte de Versailles, alongside Mode City from 7-9 July this year. This is the third show of the year for the Interfilière brand, following Interfilière Paris in January and Interfilière Hong Kong in March.

The world's leading trade fair for intimates and beachwear fabrics, Interfilière Paris is the only international-scale event that brings together two key markets with Mode City - both the upstream and downstream industry sectors.

300 exhibitors are expected for a comprehensive product range showcase, covering intimates (100% of exhibitors in 2011), beachwear (56%), loungewear/home wear and wellbeing markets (25% of exhibitors) with a combination of creativity and innovation.

Organisers say all the latest products are launched at Interfilière Paris, under the watchful eye of buyers, representing the most important brands and international labels.

"This season, Interfilière Paris is placing the accent on beauty for the body with cosmetic textiles (slimming, skincare, etc.) going from strength to strength every year, from both a technological point of view and in volume terms within fabric collections," organisers say. A guided tour and conference by La Fédération, with an accompanying study, will enable designers and buyers to get to grips with the new fabrics.
