LingeriePRO, the fashion trade fair for lingerie and corsetry, night, active and swimwear, will soon return for its 39th edition in the Antwerp Waagnatie Expo & Events gathering around 120 exhibitors. This year’s theme is ‘Let’s connect’, a multi-layered message inviting visitors to meet each other, exchange experiences and make lasting contacts. Another approach is connection with an ecological and social approach, focusing on sustainability.
Philippe Bracke, organizer of LingeriePRO, says: “We experience that there is a lot of demand from brands and exhibitors to support them more extensively in their entrepreneurship. We do this of course by making the exhibition as accessible as possible to them and by offering the necessary services on site. We remain very strong in this, as is also apparent from the responses we receive from exhibitors and fellow exhibition organizers. But we experience that more is needed than that, that outside of trading periods there is also a need for sharing know-how, coaching and inspiration. There we are now looking at what we can offer as LingeriePRO and what role we can play.”
As well as returning exhibitors, LingeriePRO will welcome newcomers including Marsylka, Gossard-Berlei, Seher Mensucat, Blue Bell Agency, Impetus, Moretta, John Frank, Lormar, Stichd, Uzurii, CECEBA-group and McAlson. The exhibition also offers a range of service-oriented companies, such as specialists in scent marketing, packaging, shop design, computer and stock management. And last but not least, CATCH! takes place for the second time after the success of last winter, a dedicated zone at the entrance of the fair featuring Andres Sarda, Trixie Baby, Undress Code Swim, Fake Love Swimwear, Care by Me, Have a Look, Lemon Mint and Bamboo Belgium.
