Even with an economic storm looming buyers still came out in force at the last edition of the International Lingerie Show in Las Vegas that ran from September 15 through the 17th.
The new September dates helped retailers, previously wary or unable to leave their store during the lucrative Halloween season, attend the show and exhibitors were pleased with the results.
New exhibitors included Donna Di Capri Lingerie, Camobooty, and 100% Babe amongst others.
Buyers noted that the diversity and number of exhibitors exceeded their expectations.

David Nelson of Vixens said, "This seems to be a pretty good show compared to the CURVE show. A lot more products here and a lot better layout so I'm pretty happy that I came to this show."
First time attendee Jennifer Cohen opening a new store called Ti Amo Lingerie in Oregan exclaimed, "The show is completely amazing. It's actually a little overwhelming because its the first show I've been to. One of the most interesting things I've found here is a line of mens boxes called EGO and they are phenomenal. It has been an amazing show!"
At the same time, exhibitors noticed the difference in buyers at this show. Tony Lam of iBasic Intima said, "Buyers are here to buy at this show."
Michael Moreira of the International Lingerie Show noted that the next edition of the I will be held on April 20 - 22nd, 2009 at the Rio Hotel.
What's new at the next edition? How will the next show be different? Moreira said, "We're really excited because we've had such success with our halloween costume on the sexy side we've now developed now into a more all inclusive Halloween costume show so we're not going to limit our selves to sexy costumes we'll be out there with everything that's offered by some of the largest manufacturers in the Halloween industry such as Rubies, Fun World and some of the other bigger names like Dreamgirl, Leg Avenue, Shirley of Hollywood so we're really excited."
