THE 2018 REPORT Salon Inter�Ational De La Lingerie & Interfilière Paris Press release Salon International de la Lingerie & Interfilière Paris – January 2018 THE 2018 REPORT Salon Inter+ational de la Lingerie & Interfilière Paris RENEWED ENERGY FOR A CHEEKY EDITION! The Salon International de la Lingerie and Interfilière Paris closed their doors Monday 22 January on an edition that stood out with high energy and a fresh vision for the entire industry. The 2018 event, with a wealth of new directions and innovations in a completely revamped setting, was praised by exhibitors and buyers. The new format was a winner! Special events located throughout Hall 1 clearly expressed a modern image of the lingerie/loungewear markets through finished products, fabrics, and accessories – all undergoing complete transformations. In tune with this context, Eurovet is ahead of the game with the launch of The Lingerie Place, its online platform for industry information and contacts. Both trade shows were in sync with the numerous top-profile international professionals who attended. And both shows saw constant activity at the booths during all three days. Praise was unanimous for the quality of the new tools to help buyers, exhibitors, and media, and for the edition's exceptional energy. Post-event, it's all systems go! THE SALON INTERNATIONAL DE LA LINGERIE : AN ABSOLUTELY OPTIMISTIC SHOW! Eurovet's mission is to be an ambassador for change and the driving force for the sector. True to its Manifesto, which lays out the company's foundations and values, Eurovet confirmed its philosophy with its commitment during the three-day event. Inspiration and forecasting were the watchwords! Eurovet revolutionised its trade show approach with a unique program focusing on retail. The session included powerful, innovative tools such as a Retail Report, retail store tours, and boutique relooking. The Forum, set up like a Parisian flagship store, offered trend and retail inspiration and was very popular with all the professionals, exhibitors, and buyers. The space was a key hub for making new contacts, enjoying discussions, and sharing. Full of life, it was a indicator of the show's overall mood. As both a forecaster and reflection of its era, the Salon International de la Lingerie broke the codes in this edition with new scenograpy, new booths, and new communication techniques to promote brands. It was a 180° change of direction for a new age of consumption. Each year the trade show's offer expands in an expression of an immense diversity of styles. Backed up by an extensive events program, the Salon International de la Lingerie gave participants an edition that was truly a pleasure. INTERFILIERE PARIS, PERFORMANCE AND INNOVATION AT THE FOREFRONT! Manufacturers fully explored their creativity and presented original collections and a range of techniques. Their unique signatures were clear in each sample, proof of their expertise and commitment to serving their clients. The booths were settings for serious work meetings, with longer than usual visits and in-depth discussions. Exhibitors took the needed time to explain a new lace or embroidery, an innovative accessory, or a new fibre brand with performance benefits, and to talk about how a new line had been launched. The very successful "The Exception", dedicated to finishing processes, was an area for inspiration and sensations. In keeping with its name, exceptional finishes were explored through both industrial samples from exhibitors and works from guest artists. The pieces presented pushed the boundaries of creativity, technical expertise, and originality. The projects chosen for the "Tomorrow!" space contributed a more high-tech and experimental look at the market's development. Even if a fabric woven from seaweed won't be used in next July's beachwear collections, its potential, inherent technical pluses, aesthetics, and irresistible colours caught the attention of the sector's R&D professionals and designers. And even on Monday, the show didn't slow down! Meetings continued at both shows and activity was non-stop. From the first day to the last, visitors streamed in and French brands made a strong showing. THE SALON INTERNATIONAL DE LA LINGERIE: Strong attendance by key 2018 TOP 10 Buyers buyers! 1 France 2 Italy The Salon International de la Lingerie confirmed its appeal with a slight overall rise in visitors, and a 12% 3 Germany boost in attendance by key buyers. 4 United Kingdom The show is a major attraction for buyers around with 5 Spain world, with a French/international ratio of 36% / 64% 6 Belgium (the same as January 2017).

  • Press Kit the History of French Lingerie at the Sagamore Hotel Miami Beach
    LINGERIE FRANCAISE EXHIBITION PRESS KIT THE HISTORY OF FRENCH LINGERIE AT THE SAGAMORE HOTEL MIAMI BEACH Continuing its world tour, the Lingerie Francaise exhibition will be presented at the famous Sagamore Hotel Miami Beach during the Art Basel Fair in Miami Beach from November 29th through December 6th, 2016. Free and open to all, the exhibition showcases the ingeniousness and creativity of French lingerie which, for over a century and a half, has been worn by millions of women worldwide. The exhibition is an immersion into the collections of eleven of the most prestigious French brands: AUBADE, BARBARA, CHANTELLE, EMPREINTE, IMPLICITE, LISE CHARMEL, LOU, LOUISA BRACQ, MAISON LEJABY, PASSIONATA and SIMONE PÉRÈLE. With both elegance and playfulness, the story of an exceptional craft unfolds in a space devoted to contemporary art. The heart of this historic exhibition takes place in the Game Room of the Sagamore Hotel. Beginning with the first corsets of the 1880’s, the presentation documents the custom-made creations of the 1930’s, showcases the lingerie of the 1950’s that was the first to use nylon, and culminates with the widespread use of Lycra® in the 1980’s, an epic era of forms and fabrics. This section focuses on contemporary and future creations; including the Lingerie Francaise sponsored competition’s winning entry by Salima Abes, a recent graduate from the university ESMOD Paris. An exclusive collection of approximately one hundred pieces will be exhibited, all of them emblematic of a technique, textile, and/or fashion innovation. A selection of landmark pieces will trace both the history of intimacy and the narrative of women’s liberation.

    Tuesday, February 2 Cipriani 42nd Street, NYC In the wake of the devastation brought about by the earthquake that leveled much of Haiti, the Underfashion Club has financially supported the efforts of Doctors Without Borders to provide emergency medical care to the survivors. Additionally, we applaud the efforts of so many other organizations, including K.I.D.S. (Kids In Distressed Situations,) a 25-year-old charity that has mobilized the apparel industry and already raised more than $6 million in products (clothes, socks, underwear and blankets) for the men, women and children of Haiti. Their efforts are ongoing and, in the months to come, as that country rebuilds and the news media departs, there will continue to be a need for a variety of items donated by manufacturers and retailers. If your company is is in a position to make new product donations in aid of this monumental relief effort, kindly consider contacting: 212.279.5493 / 800.266.3314 www.KIDSdonations.org The Underfashion Club, Inc.
