THE BEST OF INTIMA – BIANNUAL – FEBRUARY 2008 - (Page 60)

Launching Kineba takes on the US Kineba is a new French designer brand offering chic, glamour design with comfort. The name Kineba derives from the Japanese word ’’ikebana’’; which translates to mean “to create beauty”. This is a brand dedicated to emphasizing the femininity and enhancing the beauty of every woman, combining French know-how and wellfitting lingerie. Their motto: “to be daring and creative.” Part of the brand’s strategy is to exhibit at the main international fairs. The first Kineba collection, Spring/Summer 2008, was launched in Europe at several international fairs such as Harrogate Lingerie and Swimwear Exhibition, Body Look in Dusseldorf and Lyon Mode City. Kineba will also be present for the first time at the Salon International de la Lingerie. Now set to launch in the US, the new collection will be unveiled at Lingerie Americas, New York this February, taking on the American market with their French touch and design renewal. Kineba’s collections are designed with a creative spirit, using exclusive patterns and soft, comfortable fabrics that speak to every woman. The brand has recently unveiled its second collection for Fall/Winter 08. The collection includes 12 lines of corsetry, 3 lines of nightwear matching the corsetry and 4 cruise lines. This new collection is faithful to the brand’s spirit: sobriety of the cuts, subtlety of the colors, elegant fabrics (devore velvet, Calais lace, silk satin) and fragile details.
