On the export side, French corsetry sales reached EUR 371.5 million, and brands with the label Lingerie Française account for nearly 64% of their turnover in the export market. French lingerie exports well in the EU, with predominant markets, such as Spain, Germany, Belgium, Italy and the UK, but is also enjoying a boom in overseas markets, including the US, Canada, UAE, Russia and Japan.

“With the theme Parisian Rock, French lingerie, which shines like a beacon all over the world, will display the heritage, know-how, passion and innovation of its iconic brands. For centuries, French Lingerie has been synonymous with fine craftsmanship, talent, creativity, audacity, elegance and refinement,” they say.

“At a time when the body has become more subject than object-when we no longer demand perfection or submission to unrealistic sublimation; when we accept refinement, curviness, androgyny and imperfections, French lingerie, which accommodates women from A to H cup, exalts its diversity and international success.”

Fourteen prestigious French lingerie brands – Aubade,Antigel, Antinéa ,Chantelle, Eprise, Epure, Empreinte ,Implicite, Passionata, Lise Charmel, Lou, Louisa Bracq, Maison Lejaby, and Simone Pérèle – and five guest French designers will present their latest collections to an audience of 600 people that include media, influencers and international buyers.
