New participation format: showrooms
As business requirements evolve, a number of companies are moving away from open stands, favouring increased confidentiality for more focused business and targeting the clientele that they wish to meet. Showrooms provide a response to these expectations, with a flexible booking system (between 1 and 3 days) and reception service, staffed by hostesses for appointment-scheduling.

Additional service: business meetings
Given that Eastern European markets are highly sought-after, Interfilière is offering exhibitors an opportunity to meet buyers from this region:

Baltic States:
Latvia and Lithuania:
Traditionally outsourcing countries, they have been developing their own brands for a number of years and distributing them throughout the former Soviet Union (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, etc.). Members of the European Union with nearly 600 manufacturers, the two countries are also attractive retail and consumption markets

Poland:
A very dynamic market, with provisional growth rates of between 25 and 30% in the lingerie sector, Poland is enjoying a period of general development and improved living standards. Lingerie manufacturers, whose traditional export markets are Russia and the Baltic States, are now turning towards Western European countries and France in particular.

Russia:
A key export market for Western brands since the early 1990s, Russia has also moved into manufacturing. Indeed, the textile industry has enjoyed a veritable renaissance. Strong political support has led to the creation of new brands as well as the purchase of factories in other Eastern European countries; there is therefore strong potential for the products showcased at Interfilière.

General Forum Summer 2010 Collections:
For this new season, the General Forum is playing with vibrant colours and toying with volumes for a modern and nomadic universe: a village of hut-like constructions, boxes within boxes... Positioned at the heart of the show with a towering central element for maximum visibility, it offers new structures for presenting fabrics.

A completely open space, each of the forum's four corners will feature a different atmosphere, created in line with the themes developed in the “Evolution” trends book.

Themes:
1 - “Oh my darling”
The Capri spirit of the 1950s, Haute Couture precision, a desire for perfect elegance and an ever sunny disposition… patterns and prints are rich and radiant, lines highlight curves, never failing to create a perfect harmony, details and finishes are also impeccable…
2 - “Bizarre Bazaar”Mixing andmatching in a spirit of celebration and openness, the sunniest form of optimism is out in force …new technologies allow for a voyage of discovery in a world where colours and motifs are without limits or borders.
