This September marks the return of Lineapelle Designers Edition, the creative platform that celebrates emerging talent in the worlds of leather and design. Following the success of previous editions, the event is being reimagined and relocated from the Rho trade fair district to the beating heart of Milan—an urban setting that enhances its cultural resonance. From 22 to 29 September 2025, young designers and visionary brands will bring the city to life with fashion shows, installations and artistic crossovers. More than just a showcase, this is a laboratory of ideas—a manifesto of style and innovation. Leather, once again the star of the show, becomes an expressive language that bridges heritage and experimentation.
What’s new this year
From the exhibition halls to the vibrant city centre—this is the major innovation of the upcoming edition. Lineapelle Designers Edition will take place in Piazza Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa from 25 to 27 September, where new collections by Chronos Corps, Alberto Zambelli, Leonardo Valentini – Laboratorio Riciclo Pelle, Federico Cina, Giulio Maragno, Lorenzo Seghezzi, Marco Rambaldi, Mastewal AFC and Anton Giulio Grande will be presented. A custom-built, dynamic and accessible structure will be created especially for the occasion. The aim is to bring the creative supply chain closer to the public, fostering interaction between designers, businesses and citizens. The event forms part of Milan’s fashion calendar and strengthens the bond between innovation and place.
The presentations
From 22 to 29 September, Spazio Lineapelle will host presentations by Mario Dice, Dienee, PAabePabe, Biagini 1968, Amato Daniele, TheVerticaline, Duben, DOYS and Absent Findings. This marks the return of Lineapelle Designers Edition, a platform dedicated to creative talent and vision, founded by UNIC – Italian Tanneries and Lineapelle with the aim of supporting and providing space for a new generation of designers. It offers a real opportunity to experiment, to tell one’s story, and to engage with the public—while also staging bold interpretations of leather through visual storytelling and material research. The September edition is set to be a crossroads of inspiration, where fashion (and leather) become an integral part of the narrative.
