With 24,977 professional attendees from 113 countries (+7% more buyers than last year’s edition), Lineapelle 105confirmed—and elevated—its status as the international hub for innovation in materials for fashion, design, and automotive. An edition that didn’t just follow trends: it set them.
The concept? "The Future is Here." And never has a title felt more on point. Inside the halls of Fiera Milano Rho, the energy was tangible: high-performance leathers, responsible materials, cutting-edge technologies, new chromatic explorations and textures. Everything pointed toward a sustainable, desirable, and already unfolding future.
Between experimentation and heritage. From the expertise of global industry leaders to the fresh voices of emerging designers, Lineapelle captured the full spectrum of a supply chain that—while rooted in craftsmanship—is now reaching toward hybrid, digital-forward scenarios. The keywords? Upcycling, traceability, biotech, performance, and—last but not least—beauty.
More than a trade show—it’s an experience. Beyond the exhibition area, this edition once again offered high-level side events: runway shows, installations, talks, and educational spaces for fashion schools and academies. A living ecosystem, where material culture meets global vision.
The fashion supply chain is here—and on the move.Lineapelle 105 showed that the leather and materials supply chain isn’t just keeping pace—it’s setting the rhythm. And for us at Leather & Luxury, who closely follow every link in this network of craftsmanship, industry, and creativity, one thing is clear: the future is no longer a promise. It’s already happening.
