About CURVE NY
Overview
CURVE NY is a scheduled intimate apparel and swimwear trade show in New York City, with the official summer 2026 edition listed for August 2-4, 2026 at the Javits Center’s River Pavilion. The event is positioned as a North American sourcing and networking marketplace for brands, retailers, buyers, and media in lingerie, swimwear, loungewear, activewear, and adjacent categories.
What to Expect
CURVE NY’s summer 2026 edition centers on a focused sourcing floor for intimate apparel and swimwear, with more than 120 international brands listed on the visit page and a show format built around direct buying, discovery, and relationship-building. Visitors can expect a concentrated trade-show environment at the River Pavilion, where established labels and emerging designers present lingerie, loungewear, activewear, shapewear, and swimwear collections for wholesale review. The official site also highlights programming beyond the show floor, including events and activations such as workshops and curated feature areas, suggesting the event blends business appointments with educational and trend-oriented content. For attendees, the value lies in seeing collections in person, comparing assortments across categories, and using a single market window to meet suppliers, scout new brands, and evaluate seasonal product lines ahead of buying decisions.
Who Should Attend
CURVE NY is best suited to professional buyers and decision-makers in the intimate apparel and swimwear market, especially retail buyers, department store teams, boutique owners, wholesalers, merchandisers, sourcing teams, and fashion editors covering the category. It is also relevant for brands and designers seeking wholesale accounts, market feedback, and visibility among North American retail channels.
Why It Matters
CURVE NY matters because it is one of the few U.S. trade fairs dedicated specifically to intimate apparel and swimwear, giving the category a concentrated commercial platform in New York City. The event brings together global brands and top retail buyers in one place, which reduces sourcing friction and speeds up line review, competitive benchmarking, and order conversations. Its New York location increases its strategic value: the city remains a major fashion and media hub, so exhibitors gain both buying exposure and editorial visibility. The show’s mix of product discovery, networking, and educational programming also helps attendees assess emerging trends in lingerie, swimwear, loungewear, activewear, and adjacent lifestyle categories. For the market, a well-attended edition can signal demand trends, category momentum, and where brands are investing for the next selling season. In practical terms, CURVE NY functions as a key marketplace where smaller specialty brands can access wholesale opportunities and larger labels can reinforce distribution relationships in North America. This makes the event relevant not only as a sourcing fair but as a barometer for the health and direction of the intimate apparel sector.
