Interfilière, the trade show for lingerie and swimwear materials and accessories has awarded the title of Designer of the Year 2016 in the Swimwear category to Italian company Brugnoli.

Brugnoli creates fabrics that are distinctive for their quick drying, breathability, thermal regulation, odour control and anti-bacterial properties. The company launched a new material, Br4, woven using biological-origin polyamide, featured in a collection of mesh, piqué and jacquard textures yielding soft, superstretch fabrics.

"We have greatly appreciated [Brugnoli's] innovative, creative and high-tech, even explosive collections," said show Director Laurence Nérée.  "Brugnoli is a dynamic family company. We wanted on the one hand to celebrate their efforts and investments, as they keep on improving their products' performance, and on the other to encourage them to continue along this route. "

Interfilière's next edition will be held in Lyon, and not in Paris, from 9th to 11th July. In addition, the show is scheduled for New York and Shanghai, respectively next September and October.
