President’s Letter 2007
The Underfashion Club recognizes and celebrates the achievements of Intimate Apparel Industry leaders worldwide with our annual Femmy Awards! Honorees are selected from the retail, manufacturing, supply and design sectors of the business.
As a fundraising event, the Femmy Gala serves a dual purpose: creating a venue for business and social interchange, and generating the monies that enable us to fulfill our mission to “Support education today for a better industry tomorrow.” The Underfashion Club provides financial support to high school and college students through our extensive scholarship and internship programs. Befitting our emphasis on the students who will be the future of the industry, the Femmy Gala is hosting, for the fourth consecutive year, a design contest amongst students from the Fashion Institute of Technology. We thank the Mollie Parnis Livingston Foundation for generously sponsoring the contest.
The Innovation Femmy Award made its debut at the 2006 Femmy. This year we present the Innovation Award with a twist — the winner will be announced from the podium!
Another first is the presentation this evening of a video that illustrates our primary purpose and goal: to help educate students and to heighten their awareness of the Intimate Apparel Industry as a career path! The video captures the aspirations, dedication and spirit, which compel us in all of our efforts!
I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to all of the Femmy Honorees, and a personal thank you to the Officers and Directors of the Underfashion Club and to all of the members who have greatly contributed to this evening's success!
In this era of tumultuous change, the Underfashion Club is a bastion of dedicated volunteers who are passionately working to make a difference in our industry! We strive each year to offer our members benefits that will enhance their knowledge of the industry, and their opportunity for advancement: 49385 PG 1-24.qxd:49385 Text (1-24) 1/31/07 11:43 AM Page 4

INNOVATION AWARD
In 2006, the Underfashion Club created the “Innovation Award” to recognize innovation in the intimate apparel industry. The first recipient of the award, voted by the membership of the Underfashion Club, was Invista for Lycra®.
As before, this year’s nominees came from many areas of intimate apparel, from product development and advertising to sales presentations and factory operations, and included suppliers, manufacturers and retailers.
The Femmy Selection Committee narrowed the choice to three finalists, based upon the originality, quality, clarity and effectiveness of the submissions, and their relevance to the intimate apparel industry.
The three finalists for this year’s Innovation Award are:
Bloomingdale’s for their 59th Street Store’s Intimate Apparel Department
Delta Galil Industries Ltd. for REALCool Cotton™
S&S Industries, Inc. for “The Floating Tip” Underwire
The final selection was made by a vote of the membership of the Underfashion Club in the days before the Femmy.
The winner of this year’s Innovation Award will be announced this evening. 49385 PG 1-24.qxd:49385 Text (1-24) 1/31/07 11:43 AM Page 11

ELASTIC FABRICS OF AMERICA
Elastic Fabrics of America was founded in Fort Washington, PA in 1967 by former executives of Penn Elastics. The company was purchased by Clinton Mills in 1975. Two years later, the plant was relocated to Greensboro, NC, where it remains today. Merrill Lynch Capital purchased Clinton Mills in 1986. After making several more acquisitions, the parent company’s name was changed to CMI Industries in 1994 and EFA operated as a division of CMI until 2002, when it was sold to a private equity firm, Westhampton Partners. Later this year, EFA and partners Dogi International and MAS Holdings will begin production in a warp knit plant in Sri Lanka through their joint venture, DOGIEFA.
After graduating from Fairleigh Dickinson University, Jim Robbins joined Milliken & Company, where he started his career in Sales and then quickly worked his way up to Business Manager of the Elastic Fabrics Business. In 1992, Jim joined Elastic Fabrics of America as Executive Vice President and General Manager. He was named President of EFA and Executive Vice President of CMI Industries in 1995. In 2002, Jim was appointed to his current role as President and CEO of Elastic Fabrics of America.
Throughout its 40-year history, EFA has maintained its focus on providing warp and circular knitted stretch fabrics to the intimate apparel, swimwear, activewear and medical/industrial markets. While quickly adapting to the seismic changes that have taken place in the last four decades, EFA has been unwavering in its commitment to customers, associates and suppliers. EFA is proud that so many customers, associates and suppliers have relationships that span several decades and would like to thank each of them for their role in making this award possible. 49385 PG 1-24.qxd:49385 Text (1-24) 1/31/07 11:43 AM Page 15

CAROLE HOCHMAN DESIGN GROUP
Carole Hochman Design Group has earned its place as one of the dominant forces in the women’s sleepwear and intimate apparel industry. Guided by the pioneering design vision of Carole Hochman, Principal and Creative Director, and the driven business acumen of Neal Hochman, CEO; Carole Hochman Design Group remains a privately-held business. Today, CHDG boast a diverse portfolio of designer brands — each with its own distinctive positioning and style — that together comprise an impressive segment of sleepwear and intimate apparel business.
The company’s namesake brand Carole Hochman, known for its premium pima cotton sleepwear and loungewear is sold in better department and specialty stores across the United States and internationally. CHDG also owns the premium intimate apparel collection OnGossamer (2006) along with several licensed designer collections including Lauren Ralph Lauren (2003), Oscar de la Renta (1998), Betsey Johnson (2004), Jockey (2003), Esprit (2001), Chaps (2004), Nine & Company (2003), and Stan Herman (2004). CHDG’s private label business is a major channel of distribution with diverse accounts, both domestic and abroad including; QVC, QVC UK and Kohls.
The 76 year old company, which began as Chevette Inc., was founded by Neal Hochman’s father, Sol and his partner, Max Saffir, in 1930. Neal Hochman, who joined his parents company in 1955, after graduating from the Wharton School of Business, proved himself to be a tenacious business man and savvy negotiator. Guided by his leadership in an industry fraught with challenges, CHDG remains strong in a handful of surviving companies in an industry once marked by hundreds.
Carole began her career at Chevette in 1968 after graduating from Drexel University. Carole was the lead designer for the Christian Dior license, which remained the longest licensed brand at CHDG for 34 years, ending in 1997. Carole’s true innate ability to identify opportunities, trends and translate designer vision has propelled her to become one of the top designers in the sleepwear industry. As a testament to her vision and talent the company was renamed Carole Hochman Designs in 1980.
Carole and Neal attribute much of their success to the teams of brilliant designers, merchandisers and management that have realized their vision of success in the CHDG of today. With the recent years of consistent domestic and international growth led by Seth Morris, President and Peter Gabbe, COO, CHDG has garnered industry respect and continued premium designer interest. Carole and Neal’s daughter, Sara Allard, oversees the company’s creative services and marketing vision for future brand growth.
The corporate offices and showrooms are located in New York City with over 150 employees comprised of sales, design teams and marketing. An additional 125 employees are located in a Williamsport, Pennsylvania facility encompassing distribution, information technology and customer service. As CHDG continues to grow, the focus remains on bringing the best intimate, sleepwear and loungewear from the Carole Hochman design house to your house. 49385 PG 1-24.qxd:49385 Text (1-24) 1/31/07 11:43 AM Page 17

The Underfashion Club, Inc. has just concluded another successful year of providing scholarships and internships for students interested in pursuing careers in Intimate Apparel. The Club works with industry leaders to develop and strengthen ties with both the Fashion Institute of Technology and the High School of Fashion Industries. Students from these Institutions have been the primary beneficiaries of the Club's considerable financial support of "education today for a better industry tomorrow."
The Underfashion Club is dedicated to the belief that the future depends on attracting and educating young people to the opportunities in our industry. As a means to this end, our scholarships provide substantial monetary support to students who pursue college-level, intimate apparel- related courses. Our internship program provides college students with the opportunity of working as interns for intimate apparel manufacturers, suppliers and retailers while continuing their education. As a result of this program, several graduates have entered our industry. It is our expectation that companies will hire more students based on the success of the current endeavor.
The Femmy Gala is the fundraising vehicle, which enables the Underfashion Club to support its extensive Scholarship, Awards, Internships and Grants programs. The club has also been fortunate in attracting corporate sponsors for scholarships. FIT students have benefited from the largess of companies such as Carole Hochman, Natori, Vanity Fair, Victoria’s Secret, and Wacoal. We are especially grateful to the Mollie Parnis Livingston Foundation for underwriting this year’s Femmy student design contest.
If you or your company would be interested in sponsoring a paid intern or additional scholarship opportunities, we would be most pleased to hear from you.
