Reunited in January, the two trade shows are preparing an edition marked by renewed European interest, a broader international presence and fresh opportunities for discovery. Matthieu Pinet shares the first details.
Two shows, one destination
From January 16 to 18, 2027, the Salon International de la Lingerie (SIL) and Interfilière Paris (IFL) will once again share the same exhibition space at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, on the top floor of Hall 7 (7.3).
Flooded with natural light, the venue will bring lingerie brands, fabric manufacturers and sourcing specialists back together, encouraging connections across the different sectors of the industry.
Following the 2026 edition held alongside Who’s Next, the return to this familiar configuration restores the close relationship between finished products and the materials behind them.
Interfilière puts European manufacturing in focus
One of the most significant developments for 2027 is the introduction of a dedicated Made in Europe area, which is already generating renewed interest among European exhibitors, particularly from Italy.
“We’re seeing fresh interest from Italian brands,” confirms Matthieu Pinet.
By early November, Interfilière had secured nearly 140 exhibitors, compared with 180 participating in January 2026. With registration still underway, the show could surpass its previous exhibitor count.
Asian exhibitors are expected to continue representing approximately 50% of the total, with particular attention paid to collection quality and presentation.
SIL expands its international representation
The Salon International de la Lingerie is also preparing a broader international lineup.
Germany and Italy will be joined by Turkey and Brazil, bringing the number of national pavilions to four.
Turkey is planning a substantial presence, while Brazil will introduce a mix of lingerie, activewear and swimwear, adding further diversity to the collections presented in Paris.
Major international groups have also confirmed their participation, generally maintaining or expanding their exhibition space, with several new booth concepts in preparation.
Meanwhile, Exposed, the creative area located at the entrance to SIL, will continue the evolution introduced in January 2026. With a more open layout facing the exhibition aisles, it will welcome emerging labels alongside returning brands.
Together, these developments point to an edition where established industry players, international newcomers and creative talent will share a more closely connected exhibition environment.
