A Community Built on Values, Research, and Sustainability, Fostering Emerging Talent

Lineapelle Designers Edition is not just a project, but has become a true community centered around values, sustainability, and modernity. It is a path combining aesthetics, research, and authenticity, an experience that goes beyond the product to express style and vision. Over the years, UNIC-Italian Tanners and Lineapelle have continuously invested in highlighting new talent through fashion shows, events, communication, and networking opportunities, aiming to build an ecosystem capable of giving visibility to emerging creativity and the central role of leather in contemporary fashion. Ongoing support from the Municipality of Milan, with the patronage of the Department for Economic Development, Labor Policies, Urban Economy, Fashion, and Design, alongside partnerships with CNMI Fashion Trust, Afro Fashion Association, and several international organizations, has helped create a platform to showcase cutting-edge creativity.

Bridging the Gap: Moving from the Runway Directly to Retail

Today, this journey takes another major step forward. Lineapelle Designers Edition moves beyond the runway, directly connecting designers and their collections with final consumers for the first time. This initiative stems from a drive to transform visibility into a concrete market opportunity and support the growth and consolidation of emerging brands.

Strategic Retail Partnership with DAAD Dantone

Making this new chapter possible is a partnership with DAAD Dantone, the historic Milanese boutique founded by Giorgio Dantone and co-managed with his son Alessandro, long known for its commitment to research, experimentation, and championing fashion's new talents. "Today we take a step further, facilitating the transition from the runway to the market and building a direct connection between the supply chain, creativity, retail, and the end consumer," commented Alessandro Iliprandi, president of UNIC-Italian Tanners and vice president of Lineapelle. Thanks to this initial agreement, in late October, the DAAD Dantone boutique on Via Spiga will dedicate a week to a curated selection of creations focusing on leather from designers within the Lineapelle Designers Edition community. "The future of the leather supply chain relies on honoring tradition while driving innovation. By connecting emerging designers directly to production and the market, we empower new brands and strengthen our industry's global competitiveness", commented Fulvia Bacchi, ceo of Lineapelle & general manager of UNIC.
