In a world that seeks meaning and a breath of fresh air, colour becomes a language of freedom. FW 26/27 trends explore new synergies between emotion, material and the spirit. Leathers and colours unite to create links between contrasts: dreams and daring, past and future, beauty and rupture, gestures and technology. A fertile dialogue where renewal, connection and imagination cross paths. We fuse references, disturb reality, broaden the field of possibilities: an invitation to rethink reality with poetry and energy.

We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
