Curve showcases 200+ international lingerie and swimwear brands across three major North American cities, twice a year; with its Montreal show held annually each August. This year attendees previewed SS25 collections from top brands while enjoying luxury activations, workshops and more!

(August 13, 2024) MONTRÉAL -The Curve Montréal trade show connected the worlds of lingerie and intimates with swimwear from over 100+ international brands in the heart of Old Montréal at Palais des Congrès, August 11-12, 2024.

At Curve’s yearly summer show, renowned brands showcased Spring Summer 2025 collections. Buyers and industry professionals had the opportunity to gain business insights, discover new brands, and network with other lingerie enthusiasts. This season boasted a larger venue at Palais des Congrés and an expanded lineup of swimwear collections which joined the show.

Considered the premier trade show in North America for intimate apparel and swimwear, Curve—a division of Comexposium—organizes five events annually. Curve Montreal, the regional Canadian summer show, takes place each year in August. Additionally, Curve holds Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter shows bi-annually in New York and Los Angeles, along with a bi-annual partner show in Paris, Salon International de la Lingerie.

“I’m thrilled that we were able to return to Montréal this summer,” said Raphael Camp, CEO of Comexposium. “Our annual show in Canada was a fantastic opportunity for international brands to present to buyers from all 10 provinces of Canada as well as other buyers from the US that traveled from other Northern cities. This season, we were excited to welcome 40 new brands exclusively on our Montréal showfloor. With our relocation to the Palais des Congrès, we were able to accommodate even more brands than ever before. We were pleased to see over 200 buyers attend and review the over 100 collections presented. On the heels of the show season, we anticipate a significant and continued growth of Curve Montréal in the future.”

Camp mentioned notable retailers present, “In Montréal, we had attendance from many specialty retailers including, La Maison Simons, Collage Lingerie, My Top Drawer, Bra Chic, Diva Lingerie, Kn ‘N LACE, Linea Intima, Midnight Magic, Lingerie Emma, Sheer Essentials, Silhouette Lingerie, Bikini Village, Aloha Bikini, Houpette, Le Bustier, all reviewed the latest trends in the market and Yves Lingerie, was the winner of our retailer contest, produced by Curve, to attend the Montreal show with flights and hotel provided. One of our core values is connecting our community of great brands and retailers before, during, and after showtime.”

Camp did not forget to include Curve’s own publication that released shortly before the show season began, “I also wanted to speak about the recent release of our 11th issue of Revealed which included a variety of specialty retailers featured at our shows this summer. Print copies were available at our shows in Montréal and New York, but everyone can find it available to browse online.”

As for the events attendees were anticipating at the show, Camp noted, “We were pleased with the turnout for the engaging activities and valuable learning experiences for our guests at all of our shows. This year in Montréal, we hosted a PR workshop, where retailers learned effective strategies to enhance their visibility from an industry expert, which was available in both French and English. We provided complimentary manicures and chair massages to ensure our guests feel pampered, and we also hosted an awards ceremony and special event where for the first time, we honored both brands and retailers. The Curve team is committed to making each show a memorable experience that attendees eagerly anticipate every year.”
