company, which was founded in 1910. But the new
companies are on opposite ends of the East Coast, with
Goddessey in Florida and Costume Culture based in
Franco’s home state of New York. Michelle of Costume
Culture took time to chat and show off her favorite new
costume, a gold and black flapper dress inspired by the
fashions of the 1920s.
Clubwear also saw some updates this year, as several
companies expanded on last year’s trend of bright neon
colors and made them glow in the dark. At the Espiral
booth, models stepped into a chamber illuminated by a
blacklight to show off the bright colors. And bright
matching footwear could be found at Reflection Shoes.
Baci Lingerie also had a major presence at ILS,
unveiling the new Dreams 2 collection at the trade
show. In addition to adding new styles to the Dreams
bedroom costume line, it also expanded the company’s
size offerings, with all 12 styles available in plus sizes.
Baci also led the trend this year of men’s underwear,
with the debut of the Envy line. The line features trendy
styles for the fashion-forward man. The initial release
features 55 styles, including briefs, thongs, boxer briefs,
mesh briefs, tank tops, mesh tanks, and many more.
The softer side of the trade show also featured
cosmetics to complement the lingerie and costume
collections. Cailyn, a cosmetic and skin care company
based in Los Angeles, had several items for buyers in
their booth, but the most attention was focused on the
gel eyeliner the company created a few years ago. With
new colors, including jewel tones with glitter, the gel
eyeliner is smudgeproof and waterproof. The brush can
create a fine line or a wider application. Once the gel
sets, it doesn’t flake or smear.
