Interstoff Asia spotlights on bodywear fabrics, India

Bodywear is the hottest item in today’s apparel. Bodywear includes lingerie, underwear, homewear, nightwear, fitness & dancewear and swimwear - basically anything worn next to the skin. Garment manufacturers need to find the answers quickly as consumers demand clothing that is more durable and practical, and can do more than just look good.

Interstoff Asia Spring 2003 brings together manufacturers and suppliers of bodywear fabrics, making it easy to see the latest bodywear fabric innovations from around the world.

For apparel fabric buyers and sourcers this translates to an array of quality products at competitive prices.

Exclusive trends for Spring/Summer 2004

Created by Directions trend committee member Nelly Rodi of France, the inspirational trend forum display gives you the chance to see the colours and feel the textures shaping next season’s fashion.

Mariner has an Atlantic marine ambience which is inspired by the cold northern seas; the colour base is all the cold blues from pastels to darks.

Colonial has an atmosphere greatly inspired by the nostalgia for the colonies, as well as from Asia and Africa; colours are a warm range of dark summer tones.

Picnic is a summery painting where plants, flowers and all that is natural are combined; colours range from the most ethereal pastels to medium acidic colours. Of special note in this season’s colour forecast is the inclusion of a subset of bright accent colours, adding a fresh and exuberant aspect to each of the three trend stories.
