5% rise in overseas visitors at Interfiliere Hong Kong

In addition, the French Knitting and Lingerie Federation supplemented the interactive zone with a Cosmetic Textiles symposium to which several industry peers took part.

Some of the companies involved in the symposium were Robert Blondel Cosmetiques that provides the technology to create cosmetic textiles, Cosmetic Wear who brought more information from an end-users perspective and fabric suppliers including Brugnoli Giovanni, Cosmetic wear, Penn Textile solutions and Textile Prestige.

The event was a great insight into the world of state-of-the-art technology and INTERFILIERE Hong Kong looks forward to bringing the next generation of poly-sensorial fabrics to the 8th edition of the show on April 1-2, 2014.

The TREND FORUM, titled ‘Enlightened for the future’ based in the centre was the heart of the show. This year the 4 core themes were So SHAPE, So SEXY, So GORGEOUS and So BEACH.

Exhibitors and visitors commented on the trend forum saying it was illustrative and instructive giving a good synopsis of the latest trends in the lingerie and swimwear sectors.

The DENIM COUTURE PROJECT created by Concepts Paris, together with some of the most creative exhibitors was very popular. The project explored the creative influence of the denim industry and how a basic fabric can become a delicate and refined piece of lingerie or swimwear.

All seminars were highly spoken about by attendees ‘The 10 Trends Not To Miss’ by Jennifer Kell from Concepts Paris made the conference room overflow.

INTERFILIERE Hong Kong also welcomed Peter Bartsch, head of marketing apparel at Lenzing Fibers, who introduced their latest innovation Tencel C, a sustainable manmade cellulosic recognised for its smoothness and softness.

Karl Mayer introduced their latest E50 machine titled; finest E50 – the fine distinction.

INTERFILIERE Hong Kong also received the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) for a seminar on Sustainability and the impact it has on our everyday life.
