Keep reading...The leading trade fair for global luxury goods, fashion and design manufacturing attracted a total of 21,433 trade visitors to the 23-25 September 2025 edition dedicated to the winter 26/27 previews, marking a slight and inevitable decline compared to the past, given the negative economic situation and the influence of many critical issues external to the fashion industry itself. Fifty-nine per cent of the operators present at the fair came from Italy and the remaining 41 per cent from 109 countries, representing over 7,000 companies in the supply chain.
In terms of exhibitors, 1,150 companies took part in LINEAPELLE 106, presenting their new fashion collections for the Autumn/Winter 2026/202 season, alongside a packed programme of debates and in-depth discussions.
“Three satisfying days, as most of our exhibitors pointed out, despite a realistically expected reduction in visitors to the fair,” said Gianni Russo, president of Lineapelle. In the context of a market that continues to remain in a highly critical condition, LINEAPELLE has demonstrated its ability and strength to position itself as an indispensable forum for identifying, discussing and developing all possible new inputs and production and commercial paradigms that can give rise to a season of recovery and are transforming the industry. This has been achieved thanks to the strengthening of the strategic alliance with Simac Tanning Tech, a trade fair with which LINEAPELLE has signed an agreement that projects the two shows into a dimension of project sharing that is unparalleled in the supply chain in terms of innovative vision and international planning.
The synergy between Simac Tanning Tech and Lineapelle, between technology and materials, represents a virtuous model for the entire Made in Italy sector. Working together allows us to strengthen our leadership and look to the future with confidence, promoting a vision of the supply chain that goes beyond the supply chain and individual markets,” added Mauro Bergozza, president of Simac Tanning Tech.
Lineapelle has proven to be a solid, dynamic event and a source of great creativity. In its role as a laboratory of ideas and the future, it engaged and stimulated its community through a series of projects and debates, starting with the ever-popular In The Making workshops and continuing with AIMateriality and Lineapelle On The Road, initiatives offering a comprehensive insight into the impact of Artificial Intelligence tools in the fashion industry. In this regard, LENA, Lineapelle’s first virtual assistant, developed in collaboration with Ingenium – Made in Italy Innovation Platform, was presented. Of particular interest was the talk dedicated to the relationship between sport and fashion, attended by ski champion Deborah Compagnoni, ambassador for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics and Paralympics. There was also a large turnout for the series of scientific and regulatory seminars that analysed the latest developments in the main challenges and critical issues facing the leather industry and its supply chain.
The next edition, dedicated to the Spring-Summer 2027 season, will take place from 11 to 13 February 2026, again in pavilions 1-3, 2-4 and 5-7 due to the concurrent presence at Fiera Milano Rho of some of the competitions of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina-Milan.
