Latin American leather on show at Inspiramais

25/01/2013
The seventh edition of the Inspiramais exhibition, celebrating design and innovation in Latin America, took place in mid-January in São Paulo, with the support of Brazilian tanning industry association, CICB.

In total, 21 tanners and other leather-sector companies took part and displays included leather in vibrant colours for the spring 2014 fashion season in Latin America. There was also plenty of emphasis on clean production processes and sustainability.

Other trends were metallised leather, black and white pieces, animal print (more discreet than in the previous seasons) and texture techniques in cuts and holographic effects. There were also leather classics, such as the blacks, earthy tones and nudes.
