Lingerie Americas

The first edition of Lingerie Americas at WWDMAGIC, held February 12 - 15 at the Las Vegas Hilton, was a success, attracting 1,612 visitors, including intimate apparel boutique buyers as well as general ready-to-wear buyers. The combined force of MAGIC International, the premier fashion trade event in the world, and Lingerie Americas, North America's finest and most respected intimate apparel trade show, offered visitors a unique opportunity to discover the newest trends.


Our first experience with MAGIC International has been wonderful and resulted in a successful event. Together, we offered the best to visitors and exhibitors alike, said Mr. Patrice Argain, CEO, Lingerie Americas.  Certainly we can only grow in Las Vegas.

Lingerie Americas brought an invaluable additional resource to our retailers creating a more comprehensive show for them to shop, said Christopher Griffin, Show Director of WWDMAGIC and MAGIC kids. We look forward to connecting the largest gathering of specialty retailers in the world with the best in intimate apparel at another successful show together this August.

Some of the best intimate apparel brands in the industry put their trust in the new event. Aubade, Biatta Intimates, Calida, Chantelle, Fantasie, Felina, Gossard, Hanro, Jezebel, Natori, Princesse tam.tam, Shirley of Holllywood and Simone Prle were among the many busy exhibitors at the show.

Designer Carol Malony said, I wanted to be part of the magic of the MAGIC. Where else is there a million square feet of product being displayed? I wanted to get people to cross over.

Scott Parker, brand and operations manager of UK-based Made by Niki lingerie reported not having a full schedule of appointments but seeing a healthy amount of buyers from traffic.

In addition to meeting with manufacturers, buyers attended the
Eveden Inc. Fit School Seminar, held daily during the show. Frederika Zappe (Eveden National Fit Specialist) demonstrated basic to advanced techniques for fitting full-busted and full-figured customers.
