Program

Moderated by Dominique Demoinet – DLD Consulting, for Interfilière Paris With Eser KHAN, Marketing Manager, Sanko Textile & Trading Co; Alix POLLET DALLE, CEO, Saneco; Algirdas SABUNAS, CEO, About Underwear; SOUHELA FERRAH, Founder and CEO, Souhela FERRAH; Manon QUINTI, HAPPY NEW GREEN Natural fibers, whether of botanical or animal origin, and fibers of natural origin, have been subjected to harsh treatment since the 1970s. There are several reasons for this: competition from synthetic fibers; the economic crisis; the ecological awakening; debates around ethical matters; fashion trends. Today, supported by sustained demand from consumers, natural and artificial fibers are back in vogue in lingerie and, especially, for the homewear market. As “healthy” fibers, they are perfect for garments worn next to the skin. Natural fibers such as linen, and cellulosic fibers such as Lyocell, are perfectly suited for the sustainable trend. Synonymous with quality, wool, silk, and Supima cotton are also ideal as part of the movement to “shop differently– shop less, but better”. More on-trend than ever, natural fibers and those of some natural origin are soft and lightweight, technical and useful. In other words, and, as the participants here will attempt to show, they are terribly modern.
