This week is the semiannual Curvexpo, the premiere Intimate Apparel show in North America. For those of you who attend, or even if you do not, the highlights of the design messages proffered by the market are critical for both merchandising and fashion vision. Certainly, I touched upon the 2015 Lingerie trends when I reported live from the Salon International de La Lingerie in Paris. However, certain points are particularly viable for the USA and Canada. Using input from the renowned and exclusive lingerie trend service, Concepts Paris, we focus here on 10 emerging directions that will impact how and what you buy. It’s the element that turns Lingerie into an Art.
Colors that Matter: Blue obsessions, Green seduction, Grey beyond boring, the perfect Red, White makes a statement.
Gorgeous and Functional: Intimate details spice up the T-shirt Bra
A New Bra Generation: the softer and more natural silhouette. Non-padded, triangles, non-wires grow in importance. Cut and Sew bras make their presence known
About Beauty: Tatoo effects, Delicate Embroidery, Flocking, Touch of Sparkle
Sustainable Wardrobes: Investing in garments that have lasting value, less throw away items. Collectors’ items
Casual Attitudes: Loungewear rules especially the PJ, but every detail counts. Crossover wear
Feminine Sport: The Sports Bra beyond the gym
Covered Seduction: Bondage, Optical effects and Light Coverage: Bodysuits make a comeback
Romantic and Innovative: The importance of fragile, heirloom and Japanese effect. Bridal Power
Cute and Happy: Plaids, A Bit of Heidi, Coziness
