The “NEW International Lingerie Show” (ILS) will hold its fourth event in Las Vegas this week, bringing the latest fashions and hottest trends in lingerie, dancewear, adult costumes, shoes and, of course, adult novelties.
The ILS was the largest wholesale tradeshow of sexy lingerie and adult novelties in America for more than 20 years, and the New ILS will feature an updated take on the traditional show:
Come discover the best lingerie brands from classy to sassy and everything sexy. Be the first to see new styles, new collections and new products. Find the hottest trends in Dancewear, Sexy Lingerie, Adult Costumes, Shoes & Accessories and a large selection of Plus Size Lingerie.
What do you think? Can this new show make a satisfying synthesis of both traditional and inclusive erotic fashions?
