Interfilière isn’t just expanding to the West Coast, it’s expanding its scope.
The global event is growing its U.S. footprint with Interfilière Los Angeles—launching July 21–23, 2026 at the California Market Center—and to reflect what’s happening in today’s broader bodywear market, the event is expanding beyond traditional intimates.
Interfilière Los Angeles highlights the next generation of next-to-skin fashion, where once-static categories have broadened and blurred—innerwear becomes outerwear, swim transitions to sport, performance meets fashion and lounge becomes dailywear. Today’s designers and sourcing teams need partners who can innovate across the entire bodywear landscape.
The event’s move to the West Coast was also strategic, entering one of the most influential fashion markets in the world and connecting brands with the global supply chain.
Early show buzz has already attracted attendees spanning intimates, activewear, swimwear and lifestyle categories, and SKIMS, Alo Yoga, Frankies Bikinis, Revolve, Savage X Fenty, Fabletics, Honeylove, and many more are expected to participate. Emerging designers, independent labels and sourcing professionals will also be prominent.
On the supply side, the exhibition floor will feature an international roster of textile and manufacturing leaders from Tianhai Lace, Billion Rise Textile, Gayou, Luen Fung Textiles, Decorine, Salamtex, LCPP, BeBe Cotton, Saraxy and Nextil Group. Collectively, these companies represent a broad spectrum of expertise, showcasing premium laces, technical performance fabrics, sustainable fibers, embroidery, trims, advanced stretch technologies and next-generation textile innovation.
The West Coast Advantage
California has long served as a hub for swimwear, activewear, athleisure and contemporary fashion brands. And as product development cycles accelerate and sourcing priorities evolve, the need for direct access to innovative materials, manufacturing partners and emerging technologies has only increased. It’s no wonder the show’s tagline is “Where what’s next is sourced first.”
“Interfilière Los Angeles arrives at the epicenter of fashion, wellness, and lifestyle innovation, bringing a fresh and highly curated sourcing experience to the West Coast for the very first time,” said Kirsten Griffin, director of visitor promotions, Interfilière USA.
The launch comes at a pivotal moment for the industry. Brands are balancing speed-to-market with growing sustainability expectations, while simultaneously seeking greater transparency and collaboration across the supply chain. By bringing together international mills, manufacturers, textile innovators and sourcing experts in Los Angeles, Interfilière is creating a platform designed to facilitate meaningful business connections and support the development of future collections.
Interfilière Los Angeles is also positioning itself as a collaborative meeting point where brands can discover new materials, explore emerging technologies and engage in conversations that will shape the future of fashion sourcing. The event’s July timing aligns closely with key product development calendars, offering design and sourcing teams an opportunity to evaluate materials and manufacturing solutions at a critical stage in seasonal planning.
Education and Industry Insight
Beyond the aisles, a series of educational presentations and discussions will explore some of the most pressing topics facing brands and suppliers today.
Among the featured sessions are The Future of Stretch Is Sustainable with Hyosung (who will be introducing its highly anticipated bio-based spandex innovation at the show); Natural Fibers Now presented by Cotton Incorporated; and Trend Forecast 2027-2028 led by internationally renowned forecaster Tina Wilson. Another discussion, West Coast Perspective: What Designers Want Now, will offer a candid examination of evolving consumer expectations, product trends and sourcing priorities across the California market.
Sustainability is also a key element, where it will move from mere aspiration to concrete expectation. Suppliers capable of fusing technical innovation with responsible material development are increasingly important partners for brands navigating changing consumer demands, and will be prominent at the event.
Interfilière Los Angeles represents a new chapter, but it’s just one piece of the whole. Interfilière New York continues to serve as a leading meeting place for the intimates, swimwear, activewear and athleisure sectors, and that event will return to New York in 2027.
With the addition of Los Angeles, Interfilière is creating a stronger nationwide platform that reflects the geographic diversity of the U.S. fashion industry. By connecting East Coast and West Coast markets with an international network of suppliers and innovators, the organization is helping brands access the resources, partnerships and insights needed to compete in an increasingly dynamic marketplace.
“As California’s influence continues to redefine the global fashion landscape, our event connects visionary brands with international suppliers, innovative materials and emerging trends that will shape future collections,” said Griffin. “More than a trade show, Interfilière Los Angeles is a destination where inspiration sparks innovation and the next wave of intimates, swimwear, activewear and lifestyle products takes shape.”
