Paris showcase for Italian leather
Italian tanners will present their latest collections at a special presentation in Paris on December 7.
Italy’s embassy in the French capital (pictured) will host an event in a series called A New Point of Materials, which debuted at Lineapelle in Milan in September and moved to New York in October.
The event, which has the support of export promotions agency ICE-ITE, is a showcase created by Fashion 4 Development, a platform that seeks to use fashion to drive social change, and by sustainable fashion hub CLASS.
CLASS said the leathers on show at the Paris event would be “evolutionary and with high-profile sustainability content”, combining technology, craftsmanship, tradition and an avant-garde spirit.
A New Point of Materials will travel to the US again in early 2022, with events in New York and Los Angeles, before returning at the February edition of Lineapelle, which will take place in Milan from February 22-24.
