The fashion accessories trade fairs, MICAM Milano, MIPEL, TheOne Milano, and Milano Fashion&Jewels, held at Fiera Milano, concluded their latest editions with positive results ahead of Milan Fashion Week. With a total of 40,449 visitors, 45% of whom were international, representing 127 countries including Japan, China, France, Spain, Germany, Greece, and Turkey, the four events confirmed figures in line with the previous edition. They also reaffirmed the variety of styles and trends in accessories, now recognized as an integral part of the global fashion industry.

Despite a complex economic landscape, both domestically and internationally, the four events showcased 1,758 brands, 46% of which came from 51 different countries. This reaffirmed the strength of trade fairs in generating tangible business opportunities, further enhanced by the synergistic simultaneity of the events.

Underlining the significance of these trade fairs and the industries they represent, Antonio Tajani, deputy prime minister and minister of Foreign Affairs, stated that fashion, as a whole, is a key industry for Italy’s economic growth and employment. He highlighted the invaluable contribution of Made in Italy excellence, represented by both major groups and small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as artisans who combine innovation, technology, and tradition. He also confirmed that the government considers business support a priority and is actively promoting initiatives such as Fashion Days in strategic countries.

Once again, the synergy between different industries has demonstrated the unity and resilience of the accessories industry, which international buyers regard as a distinctive language and a benchmark of excellence, one that not only sets new trends but also explores the creativity of both established companies and emerging brands, including startups.

Among this year's exhibitions, a strong focus on artisanal craftsmanship was evident, with a commitment to excellence enriched by contemporary influences such as innovative materials and sustainable production techniques. Additionally, the educational sessions within the events provided professionals with insights into the latest glamorous trends while also deepening their understanding of the rich heritage that inspires the most visionary and original ideas.
