The 94th edition of Pitti Immagine Filati (Florence, Fortezza da Basso, Jan. 24-26, 2024) ends with a turnout of 3,000 buyers – including about 1,170 from abroad, 3 percent more than last January.
The show presented yarn collections for the 2025 spring-summer season designed and produced by the best Italian and international spinning mills, with a total of 115 exhibitors. In the ranking of international attendance, France, Great Britain, Germany, Turkey, Switzerland, the United States, Spain, mainland China, Japan and the Netherlands were at the top.
It is precisely the sharp increase in Asian buyers (South Korea and China-Hong Kong should be added to the aforementioned countries) that is perhaps the element that characterized this round of the fair.
