The fabrics on display were in a gorgeous variety of colors and patterns, all softer, stronger, and more intricate than ever. From bright neons to earthy tones and durable fabrics to delicate laces, the mills had it all this year. To see the top 2015 lingerie trends that we spotted during the show, read “A Taste of Interfiliѐre NY ~ 2015 Lingerie Trends.”
As the exhibitors packed up to end a long day of work, Interfiliѐre served their refreshing blood orange Bellini for the cocktail and networking reception. After an hour, the crowd was back in good spirits and the final seminar began.
“Shattering Retail Rituals” by Marshall Cohen specifically addressed retail trends and the changes in our industry. He paid special attention to urging synchrony between shipping and consumer shopping trends. Consumers purchase what they need when they need it 10/12 months of the year. However, the shipping of merchandise is only in sync with consumer shopping 3/12 of the months in a year.
