More than 40 thousand operators at the Milan fashion fairs

They were held with great success from September 14 to 17 Fashion&Jewels, The One and from September 15 to 18, MICAM and MIPEL, confirming a winning synergy of the events dedicated to fashion at Fiera Milano (Rho). A total of 40,950 professional visitors attended the great fashion fair, of whom 45 percent came from abroad, from 140 countries. The best performances were recorded by European countries, particularly Spain, Germany and France, but brilliant results were also achieved by North America, which marked a double-digit increase (Canada and the USA); followed by the Far East, with China and Japan leading the way.

The fairs thus confirmed themselves as undisputed protagonists in the innovation scene, responding to market needs with professionalism and punctuality, even in challenging times such as the current one, reinforcing their role as hubs of encounter, development and excellence. With the participation of visionary startups and collaborations with educational institutions and universities, each event proved to be an immersive journey between creativity and technology. 

In a period of profound transformation for the fashion world, dominated by digitization and sustainability, this year’s fairs combined their business message, centered on production methods, artistic ability and the value chain, with a focus on training and job opportunities for the new generations. A bridge between school and business, with numerous opportunities for young people to come into direct contact with the corporate world. Also underscoring the importance of this effort was the participation of the Minister of Education and Merit, Giuseppe Valditara, who during the inauguration highlighted the value of investing in young people and emerging professions in the manufacturing sector.
