The world’s leading trade fair for intimates and beachwear fabrics, Interfilière is the only international-scale event which brings together both markets.

On July 9th, 10th & 11th 2011 Interfilière and Mode City will be inaugurating their new dates. Ideally-timed for the profession, the shows will kick-start the season, trends and fabric sourcing at the heart of a new venue: pavilion 1…

AN INVITATION TO TRAVEL TO THE HEART OF SUMMER... RELAX AND ENJOY THE FASHION FEATURES!

In July, Interfilière’s indoor and outdoor features will offer a veritable invitation for discovery, surprises, inspiration, networking and exchange, in a new show design capturing a laid-back summer vibe. Enjoy a weekend break in Paris!

Outdoors:

Textile designers show off their creative flair, bringing the space to life with an exciting “speed motif”: a marathon of unbridled creativity using fashion-forward themes to suit the season.

An enjoyable way of combining business and discovery, during a relaxing break!

Restaurants, chill-out zones and other fashion features are also on the agenda.

Indoors:

Successfully initiated at the January session, an exhibition of photographs taken by exhibitors will illustrate the “Invitation to travel” theme in a display of imaginative, off-the-wall, humorous, fun and aesthetic images!

EXCEPTIONAL EVENING EVENT: ULTRA

Bringing together both Interfilière and Mode City exhibitors, this catwalk show event returns on Saturday 9th July 2011. It will be held in the Pavilion Cambon, Place Vendôme.

Designed around the theme of “Travel diaries”, this exceptional catwalk show will present intimates and beachwear prototypes – created by Mode City brands working hand in hand with Interfilière fabric specialists – to 700 VIP guests who are lucky enough to attend this unique and magical catwalk show.

- Oriental Desires: the Orient inspires wonder and delight...whether from China, India or the Middle East, fashion is enriched by an array of ornamental décors. With references to Russian ballets and open to the cultures of the Ottoman Empire, China and India, in a context of stylistic elements.

- Dreams of Africa: the splendour of the African continent never fails to impress... its open expanses, tribal art and indigenous designs. Clichéd safari looks, tribal influences, ethnic nomadic influence, nomads, calm, raw and refined...

- Polar Night Treasures: a desire to escape far into the North, for travellers seeking untamed scenery and infinite expanses. Frosted effects, fur accents, with a light, floating and evanescent feel.

FASHION AND TRENDS: ALL THE TEMPTATIONS OF SUMMER…

As always, Interfilière is the place to find more trends and fashion…

From the very entrance to the show, the Fashion way offers visitors a step by step guide, plunging them into the heart of trends and fashion and taking them on a veritable journey:

The Beachwear & Leisure Forum is followed by the “Temptations” Intimates Forum, developing the trend themes from the Evolution guide in accordance with the show range: 100% intimates and 54% beachwear.

New: guided tours will be organized upon request for the following countries: France, Italy, Spain, Germany, USA, Brazil and Colombia.

The Short cut - Upcycling space presents a selection of fabrics available in low volumes for product launches or young designers.

This season, it is being paired with an “Upcycling” feature in response to a growing trend that offers former collections a new lease of life.

“The Exclusives”: an ultra-selective, closed-off space, giving 25 of the most innovative exhibitors an opportunity to present their most cutting-edge creations outwith the Forum. Located to the rear of the show, access will be available by invitation only, for guests selected by those exhibiting in this space.

All the latest issues and trends will be tackled in a joint conference room with Mode City.

As is the case each session, a preview conference for the Summer 2013 season will be led by Jos Berry for those exhibiting at the January 2012 edition of Interfilière and a number of VIP buyers.
