Who exhibits

Typical profile

The trade show covers finished intimate apparel products and their extensions: lingerie and corsetry, loungewear and homewear, nightwear, legwear and hosiery, swimwear and beachwear, activewear, accessories, beauty and wellness. The breakdown published after January 2026 shows the centre of gravity: 55% lingerie, 25% loungewear, 5% beachwear.

The exhibitor line-up is overwhelmingly international: 28% French brands and 72% foreign brands in January 2026, across 31 exhibiting countries, with Italy leading at 11%, ahead of Germany at 10%, the United Kingdom at 9%, the United States at 5% and the Netherlands at 4%. The share of newcomers, 32% after 37% in January 2025, points to rapid turnover from one edition to the next.

Notable exhibitors

The organiser names Chantelle, Simone Pérèle and Aubade among the groups loyal to the trade show, and publishes the full list for the current edition on the Brands page of the official website.

The Exposed sector, dedicated to emerging labels, publishes its own selection. The list displayed by the organiser notably includes Albertine, Atelier Amour, Base Range, CDLP, Chantelle X, Dora Larsen, Fogal, Girlfriend Collective, Ysé, Love Stories, Maison Lejaby and Swedish Stockings.

The January 2026 results name Chantelle, which was celebrating its 150th anniversary at the time, DIM, returning after a thirteen-year absence, Simone Pérèle, Wacoal Europe, Oscalito, No Comment, Carvaro and Le Boudoir Los Angeles.

Visitor quality

The target audience is the retail buyer: independent retailers and lingerie chains, concept stores, department stores, importers, e-commerce players and digitally native brands. This is the trade show's documented strength: in January 2026, 52.80% of visitors held a general management or buying role, and retailers and concept stores accounted for 44.48% of the visitor base. More than one visitor in two holds purchasing decision power, which is rare for a finished-product trade show.

The geography is predominantly North European: outside France, Belgium led with 8.97% of visitors, ahead of Germany at 7.21%, the United Kingdom at 5.02%, Italy at 4.77% and the United States at 4.30%, across 92 countries represented and 30% new visitors.

A word of caution for anyone comparing trade shows: the attendance figure most commonly quoted, close to 16,000 professionals of whom 60% international, is a combined total with Interfilière Paris, the two trade shows sharing the same ticketing. It cannot be attributed to the Salon International de la Lingerie alone, and no third-party audit is published.

Programme & community

Fashion shows and conferences

The programme is one of the reasons to attend, beyond the business meetings. The January 2026 edition was punctuated by five fashion shows presenting the Winter 26/27 trends under the titles "Every Day Sensuality" and "The Selection", each opened by a "Promincor - Lingerie Française" segment dedicated to French craftsmanship.

The conference series for that same edition covered beauty and wellness as a growth driver, with Maia Mazaurette, the modernisation of the Curvy offer with Elomi, and trends with Nelly Rodi and Vanessa Causse. The 2027 programme had not been published at the time of writing.

Curated spaces

Three features structure the visitor journey beyond the stands. Exposed, installed at the entrance to the trade show with an immersive set design since January 2026, showcases emerging labels and is also run at Curve New York. The Wellness Corner, in the young designers' area, brings together the skincare and wellness offer. The Lingerie Shop completes the journey on the collection-discovery side.

These spaces matter for a young brand's visibility: in January 2025, Exposed hosted 20 brands, the wellness area 15, and the partnership with Ulule 8 more. The trade show does not award any trophy to its exhibitors: visibility comes through these selections and through the fashion shows.

Community & networks

The trade show belongs to Groupe WSN's fashion ecosystem, which runs around a dozen annual events. The January 2026 edition pushed that logic to its limit: for the first time, the trade show and Interfilière Paris joined hall 7 alongside Who's Next, Bijorhca and Shoppe Object Paris, under the ROOM 0126 banner. This gathering brought together 1,760 brands and suppliers, with overall visitor numbers up 5% on January 2025.

In January 2027, the configuration changes: the trade show and Interfilière Paris occupy hall 1 with shared ticketing, while Who's Next and Bijorhca take place on the same dates with their own ticketing.

For a brand building its Paris calendar, the trade show reads as a complement to the upstream textile events: Première Vision Paris and Texworld Paris cover sourcing across the whole of fashion, while Interfilière Paris covers it for the intimate apparel and swimwear segment alone.

On site: what you need to know

The 2027 edition takes place at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, hall 1, from 09:00 to 19:00 on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 January, then from 09:00 to 18:00 on Monday 18 January.

By public transport, access is via metro line 12, Porte de Versailles station, buses 39, 49, PC1 and 80, or trams T2 and T3, same station, with taxi drop-off opposite the Palais des Sports. By car, the venue directs visitors to car park P6, via place des Insurgés de Varsovie, with restricted height clearance; this guidance is given for halls 5.2, 5.3 and 6. Visitors with reduced mobility can access the venue via the P6 lifts and a dedicated lift to the exhibition bridge, with wheelchairs available at the information point.

The badge is bought exclusively online and is neither exchanged nor refunded. A student pass exists, as does press accreditation. As each edition has its own ticketing, a regular visitor must get a new badge every time. The organiser does not hand out free invitations directly: each exhibitor holds a quota to allocate.

Cloakrooms are set up inside the halls, charged at €2 per garment, €3 per bag and €4 per piece of luggage per day, and bag checks are carried out systematically at every entrance to the venue. The visitor service line is +33 (0)1 80 18 20 70, staffed from 09:00 to 18:00.

How much it costs to exhibit

The organiser does not publish a price list: the official FAQ states that stand prices vary by event and the number of square metres allocated, and refers enquiries to the France sales team for a quote. The order-of-magnitude figures below are sector benchmarks, not the trade show's official rates.

Two factors weigh more heavily here than at an industrial trade show. Set design first: in a market where the buying decision hinges on touch and try-on, a lingerie stand needs rails, careful lighting and often a fitting room, which pushes the fit-out budget up for the same surface area. The calendar second: with the show falling in mid-January, stand production and collection shipping must be scheduled before the end-of-year holidays.

Preparing your visit

For exhibitors

• Request the sales pack well in advance: booking opens as soon as the previous edition ends, and the hall has changed three times in three years, which makes placement decisive.
• Weigh up a classic stand against applying for Exposed if the brand is young: the space, installed at the entrance to the trade show, offers visibility out of proportion to its size.
• Schedule the build and the shipping of collections before the end-of-year holidays, as the edition takes place in mid-January.
• Plan an order-taking system on the stand: retailers and concept stores account for 44.48% of the visitor base and come to place orders.
• Treat the co-location as an asset: Interfilière Paris, in the same hall, makes it possible to meet a manufacturer between two buyer meetings.

For decision-making visitors

• Get the badge in pre-sale: €55 incl. VAT up to the day before opening versus €70 incl. VAT on site, for access that also covers Interfilière Paris.
• Ask an exhibiting supplier for an invitation before buying a badge: each exhibitor holds a quota, as the organiser does not hand them out directly.
• Favour Saturday or Sunday over Monday for the density of meetings: exhibitor feedback published by the organiser points to particularly busy Saturdays.
• Set aside time for the fashion shows and conferences, which give the season and market reading that the stands alone do not provide.

CSR policy & initiatives

The trade show's website does not publish a page dedicated to its environmental commitments, nor a carbon footprint report for the event, nor an ISO 20121 certification specific to the trade show. The word "engagements" (French for "commitments") appears in the animated strapline on the presentation page, with no content attached to it.

At group level, WSN promotes IMPACT, an initiative dedicated to eco-responsible fashion and design run at its Who's Next trade show, as well as partnerships with ANDAM, Ankorstore and Ulule for the benefit of young brands. This programme is not attached to the Salon International de la Lingerie.

The verifiable guarantees come from the venue. Paris Expo Porte de Versailles is operated by Viparis, ISO 20121 certified across all its sites and activities, and committed to its BETTER EVENTS approach, targeting 2030. The measures published for the site are concrete: pavilion 6 and the hotel complex HQE certified, pavilion 7 BREEAM certified, an on-site waste sorting centre, single-use plastic banned, 33 tonnes of biowaste recovered in 2022, 18 charging points and free shuttles to the airports. The venue has 70,000 sq m of green space, including 52,000 sq m of green roofs, and the urban farm on the roof of pavilion 6 is presented as the largest in Europe.

On the social side, the venue reports 67 parking spaces reserved for visitors with reduced mobility, level access to the pavilions, adapted toilets and an interactive wayfinding system, MAP'EXPO, for visitors with visual, cognitive or motor impairments.

How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

The exhibitor volume is not moving: 220 exhibiting brands in January 2025 as in January 2026. What is moving is its composition, with 37% then 32% newcomers, and its internationalisation, up from 70% to 72% foreign brands. In an intimate apparel market being reshaped around digitally native brands and diversified concept stores, the trade show absorbs this turnover rather than growing. The return of DIM after a thirteen-year absence illustrates the other side of that story.

The second shift concerns the hall, and it is not trivial for an exhibitor: hall 3 in January 2025 with Interfilière Paris, hall 7 in January 2026 under the ROOM 0126 banner with Who's Next, Bijorhca and Shoppe Object Paris, back to hall 1 in January 2027 with Interfilière Paris alone and shared ticketing. The ROOM 0126 experience produced the largest gathering organised by WSN at Porte de Versailles; the 2027 configuration returns to a tighter lingerie-and-sourcing pairing.

That leaves the brand's dual cycle. The January edition carries the historic name, created in 1963; the summer edition carries that of Curve Paris, aligned with the same operator's North American trade shows, Curve New York, Curve Los Angeles and Curve Montreal. The two events share the venue, the organiser and part of the exhibitor line-up, but not the positioning: January remains the sector's benchmark buying event, while summer plays a more concept-store card, more open to resortwear and lifestyle.
