Over and over - audience members can be seen jotting down notes, taking photos and sketching right throughout the fashion show. While some shake their heads skeptically, others whip out their cell phones to quickly take a photo. "I've got a lot of new ideas about what can be done with interlinings," explains a buyer of an Italian fashion house. The event this evening marks the prelude to a meeting of the International Association of Clothing Designers and Executives in Heidelberg, Germany. Two hundred and fifty million square meters of interlinings from a variety of materials, half of which are nonwovens, are manufactured at 100 sites in more than 70 countries worldwide. Manufacturing facilities are located in Europe, Asia, South America and South Africa. Interlinings must meet exacting specifications: garments need to hug the figure but still be comfortable. High elasticity in all directions is achieved using bi-elastic interlinings. For this purpose, Freudenberg has developed special elastic nonwovens, H-elastic interlinings.
