FIVE DAYS DEDICATED TO LEATHER MADE IN ITALY
BETWEEN DESIGN, FASHION AND SUSTAINABLE COMMITMENT
Milan, September 2022 - On the occasion of Milan Fashion Week (20/26 September 2022) and of the 100th edition of Lineapelle (Fireamilano Rho - 20/22 September 2022), UNIC and Lineapelle have selected brands and young stylists who will present their collections at Spazio Lineapelle, in the heart of Milan (Piazza Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa): five days entirely dedicated to leather, between creativity, fashion and sustainability with events, performances and installations.
The objective, which has already been in place for a few seasons, is to support and valorise creative people who propose an innovative vision of the use of leather, and to offer tangible public examples of a sector, the tanning industry, which over the years, in an exemplary and pioneering manner, has been one of the first to implement the principle of symbiosis and industrial ecosystem necessary for the implementation of a new production model, based on the concept of circular economy, now at the basis of European and global strategies of sustainable development.
The 'LINEAPELLE DESIGNERS EDITION' event was organised by UNIC - Concerie Italiane and Lineapelle and was sponsored by the Milan City Council.
"Lineapelle Designers Edition celebrates leather. It tells of its beauty and versatility. It demonstrates its ability to arouse emotions, to be transgressive and to position itself as a basic material for the world of fashion, luxury and design. This is why we want to support the creativity of those who use leather in their collections in an exemplary manner. A few seasons ago, we started collaborating with designers and brands, and today we are presenting a dedicated event under the patronage of the City of Milan. We hope that these expressions represent a stimulus for all creative people." - declares Fulvia Bacchi, Lineapelle CEO and UNIC General Manager.
