Driven by their commitment to quality professional interactions and a warm and friendly atmosphere, RIVIERA, EXPOSED PARIS and INTERFILIÈRE PARIS offered all the creative effervescence of an industry that was delighted to be meeting again, alongside the synergy with the WHO’S NEXT shows. The pleasure of meeting again in person, combined with a marvellous array of exhibitors, set the tone for a positive session.
RIVIERA and EXPOSED PARIS exhibited their Lingerie, Swimwear, Resort and Activewear brands at the heart of the WSN show and benefited from its festive spirit and vibrant business energy. INTERFILIÈRE PARIS was part of a clear back-to-business dynamic both for visitors and exhibitors, remaining a driver of new ideas and innovations. The show provided the opportunity for many industry professionals to rediscover the joy of exploring the aisles and savouring professional encounters.
On a more intimate scale, key players from the various sectors were on hand in Hall 5.1 at the Exhibition Centre: knits, wovens, prints, finishing, laces, embroideries, buttons, trims, fibres, yarns, hooks, cups, ribbons, textile designers and design/trend consultancies, machines and manufacturing. With its raw concrete aisles, INTERFILIÈRE PARIS also established itself as the cornerstone of sustainable innovation by highlighting its array of eco-friendly products and brands (eco-certified and recycled materials, sustainable finishing, new traceability, water conservation, etc.), which were extremely popular with buyers.
A real source of inspiration and innovations, the Indonesian project, supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development, caught the attention of many visitors looking for meaning and fresh perspectives. At the heart of this project was the creation of a circular, customized collection of one-of-a-kind prototypes that reimagined methods of production and added value to raw materials, thus creating pieces with a truly unique design.
