February Lingerie Exhibition Hailed by Exhibitors
as 'Busiest Ever'- And That's 'Snow' Joke!

With this season’s Harrogate Lingerie and Swimwear Exhibition
hailed by a number of Exhibitors as their ‘busiest ever’, the
February weather failed to dampen the spirits and spending of
buyers on autumn ‘05 collections.

Over 1830 visitors attended the Lingerie industry's largest exhibition
took place from the 20th -22nd February. With 380 different collections
from international lingerie and swimwear brands showcased throughout
the four halls, buyers were able to select from brand leaders such as
Triumph and Playtex through to Designer brand Damaris and
newcomers Playboy Intimates.

Charnos Hosiery injected a little celebrity glamour to the show with
the guest appearance of Jerry Hall who was there to promote her
signature hosiery collection. Making a traffic-stopping entrance to
the show on Monday, her attendance generated media coverage in
both local and national newspapers and was beamed across the
county on local TV. Debbie Camina, Sales and Marketing Manager
commented: "Charnos Hosiery were the star of the show on Monday
with Jerry. We have written a lot of business at the show and it
has been a great opportunity for us to secure further distribution of
the Jerry Hall collection into smaller lingerie boutiques. My only
disappointment was the weather on Tuesday!"

First time Directional Design exhibitor, Morello also had a successful
show. "We have had a very positive three days and have seen some
good quality buyers from department and independent stores. Most
people clocked the bump on our mannequin, smiled and stopped to
comment on how pretty our lingerie was. We seem to have caught
everyone's attention and couldn't have asked for a better reaction"
said Jules Fossett, Managing Director.

Bob Flemming, Managing Director of Royce Lingerie had a very
positive exhibition. "With our Impact Free sports bra and My First
Bra it has been one of our busiest Harrogates ever. We have
written lots of business!".Whilst Cathy Pearson, Commercial
Director of Ballet was also very upbeat: "A fabulous show, one
of the busiest we have had"

Recognised as the trade exhibition for the UK intimate apparel
industry, The Harrogate Lingerie and Swimwear Exhibition
delivers the most comprehensive selection of brands for buyers.
Event Organiser Janie Fox from Brintex commented "We are
delighted with the attendance figures which despite the arctic
conditions on Tuesday, were very buoyant. The positive
feedback from exhibitors proves that Harrogate remains the
buyers number one choice when it comes to purchasing their
lingerie collections for the forthcoming season."

Dates for the next Harrogate Lingerie & Swimwear
Exhibition are confirmed as 21st - 23rd August 2005.
