Increasingly more international exhibitors took part in the Alicante event held on last 16 and 17 October.

The trade fair appointment organised by UNIC and dedicated to materials has been confirmed as a must. The dates of the event in 2020 have been anticipated.

The 2019 edition of ACLE, a fair with many contrasts, reflected an increasingly articulated and complex international leather market.

Also in 2019 some of the best students of the Milanese school will participate with their shoes and bags collections at the event organised by the Fashion Training System Platform. The appointment has been scheduled from 27 to 31 October.

A rich programme of conferences for the edition that will take place on October 16 and 17 at IFA.

The fashion industry has improved its environmental and social performance over the last year, but at a rate that has slowed by a third from the 2018 score: this is confirmed by The Pulse Score, the study promoted by the Boston Consulting Group and Sustainable Apparel Coalition. While rapid growth in the sector puts the goals of the Paris climate agreement at risk, consumers demand an increasingly high level of sustainability.

“Rethinking sustainability in fashion”, the conference promoted by FTA-Fashion Technology Accelerator, was held on 7 March at the headquarters of Boston Consulting Group in Milan.
