Milano Unica July 2019: all the areas in the trade show

MU Special Contents and MU Special Areas of the 29th Edition of Milano Unica

The opening of the 29th Edition of Milano Unica is drawing near. The July edition will again highlight high end textile and accessories collections for the Autumn/Winter 2020-21 season. The spotlight will also be on e-MilanoUnica marketplace, the exclusive info-commerce business-to-business platform dedicated to professionals in the high end textile-accessory sector, launched in a pilot version this past February – which will be presented in the new MU Cinema. The MU Sustainable Innovation project, grouping the best product proposals make with eco-friendly materials and processes, evolves further along with the area dedicated to MU Tendenze, this time inspired by the Ecorotica theme.  

The panels of MU Synthesis, collected and presented with highly impactful visuals, developed by the participating companies, provide visitors with an overview of the most representative samples of each exhibitor. 

 

Visitors to the July edition will also be able to explore much other content, organized, as usual, in a stimulating and articulated itinerary, subdivided into MU Special Contents and MU Special Areas and structured to provide new creative inspiration and suggestions for fashion industry operators.
