Keep reading...ANPIC – one of the most important international trade fairs for the leather, footwear and leather goods industry and with over 45 years of experience – marked a milestone in its evolution by putting design and fashion at the centre of its spring-summer 2025 edition with the MUSA Design Fest.
Fernando Padilla Padilla, president of APIMEX, emphasised the importance of this transformation, highlighting that ANPIC no longer seeks just to stay in the market, but to lead it, set new trends and project Mexico as a leader in global innovation. ‘The offer is driving the trends. Our exhibitors are the true agents of change, who through materials such as leather, fabrics, synthetics, laces, buckles, hats and more, define the identity of the manufacturers,’ said Padilla Padilla.
The addition of the MUSA Design Fest aims to connect suppliers, designers and creatives, creating a unique space for collaboration, innovation and original product development and involves over 60 selected companies from sectors such as leather goods, footwear, hats, textiles, leather, furniture, interior design and technology.
A key element of MUSA Design Fest is the focus on trends for spring-summer 2026, enabling participants to anticipate, design and plan their business strategies. This trend preview will help designers and manufacturers stay ahead of the curve, aligning their products with what will shape the future of the industry.
The event will also feature lectures and insights on key topics such as the power of the digital community for brand positioning (Ale Vintage), new trends for spring-summer 2026 (Erick Pérez Sandi) and the sustainable future of leather in fashion (Karina Díaz, director of Mercedes Fashion Week Costa Rica).
In addition to showcasing products, ANPIC 2025 will focus on generating synergies between all players in the value chain. From designers to suppliers to manufacturers, everyone will have the opportunity to interact in an environment that promotes innovation and collaboration.
The event will not only provide a platform for product presentations, but also an opportunity for participants to receive direct feedback and establish new business relationships that will strengthen the presence of Mexican industry internationally.
