Milan international hub for fashion and accessories

Fashion Week in Milan lasts from the 18^th to the 27^th of September, along a long path that winds through fairs, catwalks, and presentations dedicated to Spring/Summer 2022. In fact, it started at Rho Fiera Milano on the 18^th with Homi Fashion & Jewels, the fair dedicated to costume jewellery and jewellery. To which the Micam (footwear), Mipel (leather goods) and TheOneMilano (clothing) events were added on the 19^th with the motto #RestartTogether, to indicate the return to normality with in-person events, but also a strategic sharing of goals, focusing on virtuous and transversal synergies. A strategy also shared by Lineapelle which opens on the 22^nd of September with a journey of discovery of leathers, materials, and accessories for the footwear, leather goods, and furniture sectors with proposals for autumn-winter 22/23.

On September the 22^nd (until the 27^th), things start to heat up with the catwalks and presentations scheduled by Cameramoda, most of them in-person and only some online. With both historical names and emerging designers, the city also comes alive with exhibitions and events, such as the one dedicated to the 40^th anniversary of Emporio Armani or the event for the 20^th anniversary of the Nudo collection by Pomellato or the celebration of Chiara Boni’s 50-year career.

The week ends with the White trade fair (23^rd-26^th September in via Tortona) which is entitled ‘Sign of the Times’ and which, as always, focuses on research and scouting, with particular attention to sustainable fashion. A theme also taken up by the design challenge of Smith e& Zoon which launched a sustainable leather concept, selecting five designers with the support of Arsutoria School. Their goal is to create high-end footwear for the fashion industry, paying particular attention to the issue of sustainability. The contest, which began in October 2020 and ended last May, saw the creation of 6 styles with leather tanned with the new Zeology system, without the use of artificial colours. Winner Hommy Diaz created his own brand, MAGNUS ALPHA.
