FEATURE
The fabrics are soft and feature colors and
patterns, which appeals to bustier women
looking for something besides black, white or
tan, she added. The company also carries lines
of stretchy lace camisoles and boy shorts from
Mad & Mac out of Texas, as well as Charnos
and Lepel London, Jennie said.
Buyers looking to cater to male customers
were not left out by exhibitors at ILS. The
Andrew Christian booth had on display
custom woven men’s underwear creations in
street, sport, fashion and basic collections, and
a number of styles ranging from low cut to
boxer briefs and more. The Kingston Collective
for Men was also in attendance. The company
is a distributor for several underwear and
swim brands from around the world, including
2Eros, Manstore, Olaf Benz and Tribe. Male
Power shared a booth with sister company
Magic Silk, highlighting its newest collections,
including a novelty underwear collection and
the Camo Sport Net range.
Malebasics Corp. owner Paul Valencia noted his booth had
a new range of faux leather dance wear for men.
“It’s so new, we don’t even have a name for it yet,” he said
with a chuckle.
The range comes in sizes S/M and L/XL, while most of the
company’s other pieces range in sizes from small to extra-
large.
“We plan on launching a Big and Tall collection later this
year,” Valencia said.
Rounderbum displayed its line created to make the male
body look natural and contoured. The range is offered in basic
and fashion colors and styles.
The Yocisco booth caught buyers’ attentions with its range
of men’s undergarments made from bamboo.
“The soft fabric helps to wick away moisture and keep skin
cool and dry,” said company rep Branden Lark. “And the
fabric gets softer each time it’s worn and washed.”
The styles range from low-cut to boxer briefs, and come in
sizes small to 2X and feature fun deigns in bright or pastel
colors.
In addition to the exhibit floor, ILS featured complimentary
breakfasts and lunches during the show, as well as an
opening-night Meet and Greet event.

Lingerie and More A Touch of Fur showed a wide
range of accessories, from butt plugs with remov-
able bases to chokers and BDSM gear (left, top to
bottom). Leather was another big trend at ILS, with
faux leather dance wear from Malebasics (middle

(bottom right). Yocisco (middle row, center photo),
on the other hand, offered men’s underwear
made of bamboo, a soft fabric that wicks away
moisture.
