Paris 2023 Salon International de la Lingerie: My Take

By ELLEN LEWIS

If I had to use one word to define the recent Salon International de la Lingerie and Interfilière exposition in Paris, I would choose JOY. Expanding on that premise is Shine, Bursts of Color and Energy. The show was pared down, less brands but none the less, it was crowded.  Traffic flowed all three days. Many booths were packed. But, as I look back at the report we wrote last July following the post pandemic initial showcase, this seems to be a general trajectory, a lingerie mantra of positivity.

Digging deeper but maintaining my mission to keep things focused and “Brief”, several major trends were quite obvious. Vivid colors such as bright blue, especially blue, as well as deep reds, hot pinks, lemon yellow, and definitely purple were dominant. Saturated pastels balance the palette. Brown is the new black. But black and white still lead the lingerie pack.

There is a major backstory, prevalent particularly in bodywear.

Girly design details; no one excels at this quite like the Japanese. In fact, the Japanese had a strong showing at the Salon.

And of course, the inimitable Jos Berry presented her famed trend presentation from Concepts Paris. Here we hear her speak of diversified simplicity, function meeting fashion, warmwear growth, sheer layering’s and parallel wardrobes, the influence of indigenous crafts, patchworking, daring colors, sexy sisters and frill beyond barbie. There was much more, an hours’ worth of inspiration, and a highlight of the exposition. These themes were on display throughout the show.

I took over 700 pictures, culled them down and then edited again. Here is a taste:

  1. Thanks Ellen!
    A delicious review and tantalizing lingerie to look forward to! Great report! Happy the underworld is back out and on top!

    One of each, please!
    Thank you for a comprehensive overview of the recent show. All the colors look enticing. Your insights are invaluable, and I enjoy your articles.

  3. […] So, those are my top lingerie trend predictions for 2023. A few others I’m going to throw in here at the end are a continuation of the underwired bandeau bra trend I wrote about in October, more focus on interesting back details (especially large panels of embroidery à la Honey Birdette Daisy and Thistle & Spire Abielle) and, although men’s underwear isn’t a topic I cover or even follow, I have noticed a shift towards lingerie brands making fancier options for men too (such as the new lace collection at Foxers and some upcoming embroidered ones by Aubade, seen in this article). […]

    Love the recap, Ellen. What an amazing show, so many talented new and established designers. I agree, the expression of joy and celebration is the main theme. Love the Made by Human hangtag 🙂

  6. Priyanka says:

    Every woman should have all kind of bras like a strapless bra, T-shirt bra, sexy non-padded lace bra, push-up bra for each and every occasion. At least one thong, bikini and boyshort-style underwear.
