TRADE FAIR ADMISSIONS UP 25%:
A FORMIDABLE EDITION OF LINEAPELLE CAME TO AN END
(FIERAMILANO RHO, 19/21 SEPTEMBER 2023)
A vital edition of LINEAPELLE builds stimulating opportunities for style comparison and business networking by welcoming professional operators from 109 countries and celebrating the strong return of Asian buyers
The 102 edition of LINEAPELLE (the most important exhibition dedicated to the global fashion, luxury, and design industry) consolidates its international leadership by positioning itself as an authentic beacon in the context of a complex economic phase characterised by a widespread slowdown and a limited possibility of defining production and commercial programmes.
LINEAPELLE 102 (dedicated to the Fall-Winter 2024-2025 season) hosted 1,330 exhibitors and welcomed a 25% increase in the number of professional operators compared to the September 2022 edition: +26% Italian visitors, +22% those from abroad, arriving from 109 countries, with a particular dynamism of those from France and China, Japan and South Korea, confirming the reassuring return of Asian buyers to the fair.
"All the exhibition sectors at LINEAPELLE 102," commented President Gianni Russo, "showed remarkable vitality. Creativity and the ability to involve and stimulate the various operators were the strong points of a show whose international leadership cannot be questioned and is even stronger after this edition".
LINEAPELLE 102 reaffirmed the value of the exhibition synergy with Simac Tanning Tech (the international event with the most qualified offer of machinery and technology for the tanning, footwear, and leather goods industries) held concurrently at Fiera Milano Rho. A synergy that involved, in total, over 28,000 visitors.
"The international attendance of visitors," explains Maria Vittoria Brustia, president of Simac Tanning Tech, "and the attention of technology manufacturers towards process organisation and digitalisation confirm a significant change of pace towards a sustainable transition. We are certain that this path, shared by all operators in the sector, will soon generate satisfying results'.
The next edition of LINEAPELLE, number 103 (Spring-Summer 2025 season), will take place from 20 to 22 February 2024, again in the Fiera Milano Rho premises.
