From the Desk of the Publisher
We are trying to keep ourselves updated with the report of the fashion and exhibition calendar. We can’t stress enough the importance of this report as it is useful for everyone who is in the business of fashion especially in the intimate apparel and swimwear industry. Altogether we have listed 32 exhibitions which we consider as the most important of all.
This time our world is being threatened with tariffs which are disrupting our supply chain. The manufacturers would need to have the wisdom to take the work to the less volatile countries where the geopolitical situations are not that severe and critical. My heart goes out to those who are struggling and have to find the stable environment to run their business.
I urge everyone not to give up but to get ourselves more ready for the next opportunity to come. I hope that this dark moment will be soon over.
Opening Remark
This year has been an eventful year for us. Since January we moved our house to where we are now, already nine months have passed, we are still waiting to really settle down ourselves. We could never have thought that it was such a big move, and we ended up missing a lot of deadlines. We found ourselves trying to complete the July 2025 issue of our journal and we have still a lot of catching up work to do.
We don’t want to miss those shows that we have been providing in our journal and since the January issue we have already covered the shows for July to December 2025, and now we would like to do the report from October 2025 to June 2026 in order that this report can still be useful and valid.
Without further explanation for why we have been late, we are listing the show calendars for your attention.

Closing Remark
When we are preparing the writeup of this article, we heard the news that China and the United States started throwing rocks at each other—China announced their stopping of exporting rare earths and the U.S. said that the tariffs for China will go back to 100% as effective November 1.
I have already noticed the damage the tariffs have created to the global supply chain and its order has been disrupted completely. We heard about cancellations of orders, moving out of productions from one country to the next, and unemployment has increased. These are all very bad news.
I was trying to put those dates for the exhibition down by going through all those details and I started to ask myself whether this effort is going to be wasted as the report won’t be useful anymore. I tried to gather my determination and push the report forward, and before I push it for publication, I heard a voice telling me that, “We can work it out.”
It was a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney in 1965, and I could imagine that it was meant for repairing a relationship. But strangely enough that the lyrics fit into our situation today between the two big powers. Anyway, the lyrics go like this:
“Try to see it my way, do I have to keep on talking ‘til I can’t go on?
While you see if your way, run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
We can work it out. We can work it out.
Think of what you’re saying, you can get it wrong and still you think that it’s alright.
Think of what I’m saying, we can work it out and get it straight or say good night.
We can work it out. We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there’s no time for fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought that it’s a crime, so I’ll ask you once again
Try to see it my way only time will tell if I am right, or I am wrong
While you see it your way there’s a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out. We can work it out.”
Here you can listen to the song:
Youtube | The Beatles - We Can Work It Out | 2:17
Let’s stay positive as the situation will soon change and we can’t lose ourselves by giving up. Things will take a turn, and we need to ready ourselves with better products, impeccable services, and be alerted to catch up the opportunity once again.
Important is to put the differences away and make our system work again, and as the song said, “We can work it out.” Let’s begin to meet everyone at the exhibitions and try to catch up and work out for a better tomorrow.
