The forthcoming session of Interfiliere, to be held at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, on March 18 and 19, 2015, will unveil themes for the Autumn/Winter 2016-17 over two-days, focusing on the two major areas of current global intimate activity. Three themes will be introduced under the ‘Day & Night’ concept: latest novelties for sport and everyday underwear; gorgeous sensual decorated fabrics; and prototypes for more dressy seductive nights.

‘Modern by Day’ will feature new knit and weave textures for loungewear and underwear, ‘Festive by Winter’ would showcase innovative colour combinations and festive textures, whereas, ‘Aromatic Flowers’ would be a display of modern romantic embroideries with superfine yarns and new scales. The organisers predict that the intimate wear industry would witness a major revival of embroidery from young seduction to luxury and bridal as growing interest for decoration and rich material look takes centre-stage.

Sports intimate collection in favour

Fashionable sport collections are the new hot bestsellers driven by brands such as Lululemon, Sweaty Betty, VSX and Nike. Victoria’s Secret also launched a new sports bra with the phrase “Sweat, look good, feel comfortable, and monitor your heart rate all at the same time …”, showing the evolving technology and style in the sport market today. On top of performance, the experts also see more glam approach to decoration including florals and shiny effects enabling customers to bring more flavour to their sport and leisure wardrobe.

As this sportive market offers a huge potential for lingerie specialists from designers to garment makers, fabric suppliers including embroiderers and lace manufacturers, Eurovet is organizing a creative collaboration with Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Fashion design department of Taiwan Shih Chien University, Concepts Paris and Interfiliere Hong Kong exhibitors to create cutting-edge prototypes. These prototypes will illustrate amazing optical effects, functional sport basics for a personalized look, multi-functional yogawear for sport & lounge. Outfits will not only be displayed alongside the trend forum but also a mini fashion showcase will take place during the two days.

Visitors can also find more inspiration for sport & leisure at the trend forum too. Along with a variety of lingerie, loungewear and nightwear fabrics and accessories at the forum, there will be an exclusive area to showcase materials from super functional to sporty, everyday wear and semi-sport leisure focused on yoga and relaxing to bring a comprehensive, 360 degree perspective for intimate professionals worldwide.
