Paris: On January 2018, worldwide manufacturers gathered at this industrial leading showcase for intimates fabrics to share the latest trends and technical developments. The S/S 19 edition of Interfilière offered a compact overview of the season, tightly edited to feature the most essential innovations and key messages. The growing industry-wide focus on sustainability was a major highlight in trend forums and with suppliers, as the need for more closed-loop and environmentally friendly solutions gains in importance. It's clear that both rapid climate change and heightened awareness are driving palpable solutions for a more positive future. Body-sensitive textiles gain significance as consumers refuse to compromise on comfort and performance. Vendors pursue finer-gauge microfilament yarns to offer ever-more lightweight jerseys; once-novel concepts such as scented, anti-mosquito, and vigorous shape memory have increased in market presence. Aesthetic directions move away from more traditional florals to push abstracted motifs and laces inspired by nature. From sustainable lace to novel embroideries, Interfilière continues to push the envelope with its forward-thinking selection of vendors and thought-provoking forums.
