THE BEST OF INTIMA – BIANNUAL – FEBRUARY 2008 - (Page 10)

Editorial What a Feb! There is no question retailers have never had so many opportunities to walk into a trade show as this February! It all starts with CurveNY at its first east coast appointment during Fashion Week; followed by CurveNV in Las Vegas, at its third edition at the Venetian, overlapping with the second edition of Lingerie Americas held inside WWDMagic. Then it’s back to New York again, after Valentine’s Day, with Lingerie Americas… Let’s hope buyers won’t be too upset with their vendors being split into two, sometimes by different shows and just decide not to bother travelling at all! At The Best of Intima, we decided we would be available for our clients and readers wherever they decide to go this time since it is our belief the competition between the two show organizers will not last long – just think back to Messe Frankfurt’s experience. The Best of Intima’s team will welcome readers and business partners at its “Lounge areas” located at CurveNV and NY, as well as at Lingerie Americas NY. Visitors will have the opportunity of sharing information with BOI’s journalists, inquire about the Best Shop Awards or the Shop Scouting Worldwide international program while receiving their complementary copy of the magazine. This issue will unveil an exclusive interview with Femmy recipient Elle Macpherson, will take you back in time in the history of Neiman Marcus, help you find out more about the Canadian lingerie market with Randy Harris and provide you with useful information on the spa phenomenon. A very comprehensive section features S/S 08 best sellers while F/W 08 collections from major domestic and international brands will be unveiled in two exclusive photo FRANCESCA SPINETTA intimafrance@aol.com shoots. I don’t want to hold you any longer. Enjoy your reading!
