LINEAPELLE reflected the global pulse of the supply chain
The Italian fair held its 106th edition from 23 to 25 September 2025 at Fiera Milano Rho. Recognized as the leading international meeting point for suppliers in the fashion, luxury and design sectors, LINEAPELLE focused on the Autumn/Winter 2026–2027 season, with the participation of 1,150 exhibitors.
This edition brought together more than 7,000 companies through 21,433 high-level professional operators. Italian visitors accounted for 59% of the total, while the remaining 41% represented 109 countries. The figures showed a decline compared with previous editions, attributed to the challenges faced by the fashion industry and the difficult economic context.
However, LINEAPELLE President Gianni Russo stated: “Three satisfying days, as highlighted by the majority of our exhibitors, despite a realistically expected reduction in visitors.”
The program featured discussions and projects that acted as a laboratory of ideas. The presentations on fashion and its relationship with Artificial Intelligence and sports stood out.
Regulatory and scientific seminars also attracted interest, evaluating the evolution of key ongoing challenges within the leather sector.
The organizers announced that the 107th edition will take place from 11 to 13 February 2026 at Fiera Milano Rho. It will focus on the Spring/Summer 2027 season and occupy halls 1–3, 2–4 and 5–7, coinciding with the Milano–Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
