From 19 to 21 September, 1,330 exhibitors from 47 countries will be the protagonists of Lineapelle 102. Everything is ready, then, for “the exhibition platform capable of defining the horizons of the global fashion, luxury and design supply chain”. An event that kicks off with a rich agenda of contents and proposing, as stated in a note, “an exhibition experience renewed in its ability to explore the future of the market and style”.
But also to “enhance craftsmanship and explore the new frontiers of responsible and sustainable innovation. Three days of creative sharing and business that await the arrival of visitors from all over the world”. In particular, “from crucial markets for fashion & luxury manufacturing and consumption: United States, France, Germany, Spain, Turkey, China, South Korea, Japan”.
Creative sharing
Lineapelle 102 “confirms its fashion dimension by building a path of fashion shows and presentations inside and outside the fair”. Lineapelle Designer Edition, from 21 to 25 September, at the Spazio Lineapelle in Piazza Tomasi di Lampedusa in Milan, will feature the presentation of the creative project Era Una Sirena (It was a mermaid, ndr) conceived by designer Alessandro Enriquez. During the three days of the fair, there will be five fashion shows that will put leather in the spotlight. The fashion shows that will be held, in order: Francesca Liberatore and Mario Dice (Tuesday, 19 September); Anton Giulio Grande and Cassel (Wednesday, 20 September); Yezael by Angelo Cruciani (Thursday, 21 September).
Richness of content
“The value and excellence of craftsmanship will be the protagonists of In The Making, a multidisciplinary and interconnected space, developed in collaboration with Giorgio Linea, within which the Lineapelle community will be able to directly experience the highest declination of Italian savoir-faire related to the use of leather”. Then, space for the future with the Science Based Fashion Talks organised in collaboration with SPIN360.
“A three-day event of presentations, debates and thematic comparisons between over 30 high-profile speakers, which launches the challenge of designing new, sustainable and innovative supply chain scenarios”. Next step: training. “Lineapelle 102 will open its doors, as in every edition, to some of the most prestigious international fashion institutes, giving their students the opportunity to present creations and prototypes”.Instead, “the relationship between common imagination, shoes and the accessories/components that make them up will be the protagonist of the Star Stories project.
That is, the Movie Lounge inside which one can walk through time and the world of cinema discovering footwear models that have made history”. From cinema to food: “The 4 Tastes gastronomic project will be present at the fair, where it will be possible to discover and taste the wonder of the ‘wandering cuisine’ created by chef Carmelo Chiaramonte”. Finally, we will also be there. “To celebrate 130 years since the publication of the first issue, dated 1893, La Conceria will set up its editorial office at the fair, entering the heart of the industry of which it has become the most authoritative voice”.
Synergies
Lineapelle confirms itself “at the heart of an exhibition system based on partial concurrence with other supply chain fairs”. In other words: Micam, Mipel and TheOneMilano (17/20 September). They are joined by Simac Tanning Tech (19-21 September) and MIPEL Lab (an exhibition dedicated to the excellence of Italian leather goods outsourcing). “Strategic synergies, further enhanced by the concomitance also with UITIC, the international footwear congress staged between Vigevano and Milan from 19 to 22 September”.
