Lineapelle returns to Fieramilano Rho, from tomorrow, Tuesday 22 February, to Thursday 24, to present the trends for Spring Summer 2023 (click here for registration). It is back with over 950 exhibitors (two-thirds of them Italian) from 31 countries, 30% more than the September 2021 edition, the last one held in attendance. About 500 tanneries will be present, more than 300 accessory and component manufacturers, 100 fabric and synthetic producers. An “economic branch that – Lineapelle explains -, between international supply and demand, is worth 150 billion dollars and employs about one and a half million people”. Numbers close to pre-Covid also include space occupied (6 halls) and content planning.
Lineapelle returns to Fieramilano Rho
Guaranteeing the absolute respect of anti-Covid standards, Lineapelle opens its doors (as per the Law Decree) also to buyers not vaccinated with EMA vaccine as long as they present a negative buffer, both antigenic (48 hours validity) and molecular (72 hours validity). “Lineapelle, comments CEO Fulvia Bacchi, celebrates its return to a traditional format with important figures that confirm its distinct internationality and a wealth of content that goes beyond the extraordinary variety of the collections of its almost 1,000 exhibitors and that dissects the most topical issues”.
