Day 1 of the Salon International de la Lingerie show in Paris and there was a lot to see. This year I decided to cover it differently and made a point to walk the whole show, touch base with key vendors, shop the Interfiliere fabric forums, attend the Concepts Paris trend seminars and catch the runway show. I took a slew of photos and am in the process of hashing out the directives that emerge if one studies the big picture.
I met some young designers who attend De Montford University in England, a well known source of design talent. I chatted with Jos Berry, renowned head of Concepts Paris, about the state of Lingerie development worldwide and I met with Francois Pommes of Creations Magazine to discuss new direction. The show was busy, the young designer area much larger than the past and the energy was high. I will hold my product shots for a recap but here’s a few to wet your appetite.
