The 11th edition of Interfilière Shanghai will be back from October 12 to 13, 2015 at the Shanghai Exhibition Center with a complete offer of intimates and swimwear.Over the past 10 years, Interfilière Shanghai has grown progressively, increasing the number of exhibitors. In 2014, there were 275 exhibitors, a rise of over 11 per cent coming from 16 countries. Nearly 7,300 visitors from 53 countries visited last year, 76 per cent of them from Mainland China.
Following the success of the new layout in Paris in July 2015, Interfilière Shanghai too will follow a new layout. Exhibitors will be clearly spread across seven product-based sectors but not only in the west and east wings, but also in the central hall. In addition, seven sectors will be renamed in order to be identical to its sister show, Interfilière Paris. New sectors will now be called Lace It, Brod’Cust, Neoskin, Access’Folies, Creative, OEM /ODM and Hi’Tech.
For the second time, Interfilière Shanghai will organise the Interfeel Awards, wherein a selection globally recognised professionals of the intimates and swimwear industry will reward the knowhow and collections of exhibitors under different categories. Following the success of the workshop program on trends and brand building in 2014, Interfilière Shanghai is back with a new workshop program. Also, the exhibition will bring the industry visitors and exhibitors the most forward-looking information on trends and consumers’ insights. The program will be conducted by Edith Keller, CEO of Carlin International Group.
