trade show and assist North American visitors during their stay in Paris.
BRINGING BRANDS AND BUYERS TOGETHER A PRIORITY

at the heart of the trade show. Once again this year, special attention will be paid to welcoming

and enjoy complimentary coffee.

multilingual information.

A POWERFUL INTERNATIONAL 2015 TRENDS LABORATORY
Summer 2015 marks a turning point in what women want from swimwear and lingerie collections.
Now, more than ever, it’s time to connect the dots, join forces and combine energies to start
afresh, and to share and learn about humanity and bodies. It’s time to assemble materials, gather
up different elements and put them back together in a multitude of possibilities, wrapping and
flattering women’s bodies with draping, veils, rich embroideries, pleats and rustling fabrics.
Technical expertise and new shapes for a new era of movement.
STRUCTURED
In lingerie and swimwear, we see a move towards technical, innovative materials, reversible
textiles, and dense fabrics with woven geometric patterns. We also note trapeze and triangular cuts that wrap around the shoulders and
support the breasts, and low cut necklines that
call attention to womanly curves. For colours:
new, luminous tints replace the fluorescent
accents of the last decade. These new neons
should be combined with white and beige.
LI
VEILED
Veils are considered one of the most ancient
adornments since Antiquity. They indicated the
wearer’s interest in concealing and cloaking
parts of the nude body to intrigue the viewer.
Today, the concept of covering or exposing
the body has taken on new meaning, and with
this debate, a subtle paradox. Veils make the
feminine body inaccessible and mysterious,
creating desire. Veils also encourage a delicate,
timid way of showing nudity. The naked body
becomes abstract under ethereal, gossamer
fabrics and the wearer enjoys a feeling of both
freedom and exposure. The colours are blacks
and whites, bleached tones, and bright colours
softened with transparent effects.
Agua Clara
pleated
Pleating, a technique that dates from Antiquity,
creates pure elegance and low key sensuality
from an incredible excess of material. The colours are soft, natural and neutral in order to
reflect light and play with shadows. Fabrics are
the finest quality and artisanal materials and
arte povera references are used: togas, linens,
silky cottons and fine Egyptian voiles.
FLOWERED
These textiles have a precious, deeply artisanal feeling, with patchwork, embroidery and
jacquard. There’s an abundance of notions and
trims, and buds and blossoms on printed woven linens, cottons and silks. Colourful, faded,
salvaged textiles get a second chance and are
transformed and embroidered with motifs inspired by traditional regional styles.
