LINEAPELLE 103: signs of growth and vitality

The 103rd edition of Lineapelle, which took place at Fiera Milano Rho from 20 to 22 February, registered a substantially positive result and growth compared to both editions of the previous year, with a total of 25,376 trade operators attending to find out about the novelties for the Spring Summer 2025 fashion season from 1,167 exhibitors. This edition was also particularly lively in terms of the novelties proposed by the exhibitors, which were characterised by strong innovative research and a clear propensity to diversify markets, proposals and destinations. The participation of foreign operators was significant (39% of the total), with a prevalence of buyers from France, Spain, Germany, Great Britain, Turkey, the United States and China.

As usual, the trade fair experience was enriched by various events and initiatives, starting with the six Lineapelle Designers Edition fashion shows. Very positive feedback also for the first edition of Lineapelle Interiors / Leather Duets, a business culture exhibition that staged a sequence of installations, each of which represented an exclusive leather design project shared between a made-in-Italy leather manufacturer and a furniture company. There was also great involvement for In The Making Atto II (an interconnected and multidisciplinary space where visitors were able to take part in a series of craft workshops using leather) and for the second edition of the Science Based Fashion Talks, opportunities for debate and sharing that aim to discover and define green strategies for the entire supply chain.
