Curve ~ What I Saw & What I Learned

August 22, 2017

Silent Arrow

Seasonal trends, as we know them, are over.  That is not to say, that there are not design messages. It’s simply that these messages overlap, moving fluidly between key intimate and RTW classifications; blurring boundaries.  Leggings become pants, Robes become jackets, Bodysuits and bras become blouses. And Pajamas go everywhere. Concepts Paris calls this Hybrid dressing.  It is a perfect definition of the evolution (revolution) occurring in a woman’s wardrobe. Mixing design elements, … Read More

Fleur't & UGG on Lingerie BriefsFleur’t & UGG

I just attended 3 solid days at the NY Curve show having recently returned from the Paris Salon International de la Lingerie. As a result I find that the comparison between these two expositions is inevitable. Paris attracts an international audience and is a bigger platform. But Curve speaks to a North American market. Therein lays the difference. As a merchant, I study trends, but I am not a designer and my … Read More

Marlies Dekkers on Lingerie BriefsMarlies Dekkers

Fashion ideas come from so many different places and how they inform design is what makes the creative process so interesting. Sometimes, it’s all about the message. There are so many mainstay businesses that are critical to the retail experience. They are the margin builders. But new direction can keep these essentials fresh. Again, I must reiterate that I did  not see the entire market offer at Curve but I was able to … Read More

Untitled-1begDerek Rose & Christine Lingerie

As usual, following the Paris Salon de la Lingerie and Interfiliѐre show, I attended all three days of the Curve NY Lingerie Expo. As the market is for me, the center of my focus, I spent a great deal of time foraging through different brand offerings to confirm and learn what my merchandising instincts have already told me is on the horizon for Fall 2016. The trends are obvious, many … Read More

February 27, 2015

Having just spent three sub-freezing days in NYC attending the Fall 2015 CURVEXPO Lingerie show, I am back momentarily from the market in the process of debriefing.There were some interesting messages at the show and certainly some new discoveries and I will share some of them with you here. Suffice it to say, though, that there are many more stories to tell as I delve deeper into the market for information and inspiration in the … Read More

Paris Wrap ~ Salon De Lingerie Fall 2014

January 31, 2014

IMAG2349

IMAG2419Last year, Paris was all about the snow; unusual and dramatic. This year it was the rain.  Perhaps I am being a bit politic but there was a palpable austerity in the air; a general aversion to the current administration.  The wealthy are fleeing the city to avoid sledgehammer taxes leaving shops void of some of their tried and true customers.  Nonetheless some things never change in Paris and all the usual suspects; outdoor café … Read More
