Everything is ready for Lineapelle 99, scheduled from Tuesday 22 to Thursday 24, February, 2022, at Fieramilano Rho (click here for registration). More than 950 exhibitors will be present, who will have the task of declining the stylistic stimuli that the Lineapelle Fashion Committee has developed for the summer season 2023 and that, in a note, summarises in 5 stylistic inputs that start from a common thread called Beautiful & Fragile.
Beautiful & Fragile
“Beautiful & Fragile is a journey through the beauty of fragility and its facets,” explains Antonella Bertagnin, coordinator of the Lineapelle Fashion Committee. “Fragile is a word that may seem negative at first glance, but if you broaden your understanding it evokes something delicate, precious, to be handled with care, to be protected. This is where the inspiration comes from for new work on leathers, materials and small items for the 2023 summer season”.
The 5 stylistic inputs for summer 2023
1 > Eco-Centric Universe
Sustainability is the most topical and transversal subject in the evolution of materials. Reuse or pre-consumption for chic up-cycling. Biodegradable materials, new processing, design and disposal philosophies as priorities for future product visions.
2 > Lightness and transparency
The processing of materials with delicate, thin, light thicknesses, perfect for ethereal, poetic effects, has continued from previous seasons.
3 > Focus on Touch
The sense of protection that comes from a hug is an excuse to talk about new softness solutions. Sensual, agile and enveloping, also sought after in new eco-sustainable recipes.
4 > Dressing Up
The world of glitter and sequins is back in a big way, also used in more sporty versions and looks. Special effects, iridescence and glitter.
5 > Colours
What will be the colours of the imaginary future? They will be those that once again float between communicating worlds: the real and the digital. In a context of extreme fickleness, the tones of matter give us back the pleasure of our senses, enhancing their naturalness. Blue and the range of purples coexist with very light tones.
Caution and creative drive
“For the fashion and luxury industry, Lineapelle is not only the most important trade fair in the world from a commercial point of view,” comments CEO Fulvia Bacchi. “It has always represented the stylistic outpost for leather, fashion materials, accessories and components, offering suggestions and stylistic stimuli a season ahead of the finished product. From this point of view too, it plays a fundamental role for its entire community. An even more strategic role today, in this phase of restart that requires caution, but also a great creative drive”.
Trend areas and presentations
The fashion trends of Lineapelle 99 will be the protagonists, at the Fashion Theatre (hall 15), of the usual free entrance seminars. They will take place on February 22nd and 23rd: 11 a.m. in Italian, 2.30 p.m. in English. And “they will also find concrete application in the over 1,000 samples that will enrich its 3 Trend Areas (halls 9,13, 22)”.
