Last week, post Paris shows, I recapped my impressions of Interfilière , which focuses on color, prints, materials and major messages that will affect Intimate Apparel design in the future. The exposition takes us into the 2021 design timeline. Today, I zero in on the Salon International de la Lingerie, which runs in tandem with Interfilière and targets actual product ready for the AW 2020 retail season. These two Fairs … Read More

Today’s exposé is a testimony to the Fall 2019 style direction that was on display at the recent Salon International de la Lingerie, Eurovet’s premiere European Intimate Apparel show. This exposition was all about the brands, their products and the vision seeded at Interfilère last year. In 2018 we spoke of the emerging focus on the body “more as a subject and less as an object”. I remind you of this … Read More

I try to leave my politics out of this column but in the wake of recent current events, it … Read More

It’s a great place to catch up. Creations Lingerie‘s photo op with a sexy Gregg Homme model was a big hit! Watch for the … Read More

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 … Read More

There are many great reasons to visit the Paris Salon De La Lingerie. Of course, Paris is an inspiration in itself.
Whether the weather is blue skies, typical January gray, or the occasional – and unexpected – snow (I’m looking at YOU, 2013) the city’s romantic air always engages a lingerie-friendly mindset.
This year, thousands of buyers will descend on the Porte de Versailles (last year more than 16,000 of them) … Read More
