Milano Unica USA will convene in New York from July 20 to 22, 2015. It expects to host about 80 exhibitors. This is the first time Milano Unica will be held in New York. Milano Unica is a benchmark Italian textile trade fair.

From July 1 to 3, Milano Unica will hold the Milano Unica Precollezioni edition, focused on presenting pre-collections for Fall/Winter 2016-17 at Pavillion 3 of Fieramilanocity in Milan. The event will take place almost at the same time as Anteprima by Lineapelle, the specialised leather trend show, happening on July 2 and 3, 2015.

Another announcement recently made is that Stefano Fadda is the new creative director and trend commission responsible for Milano Unica textile trade show. With the upcoming editions in July and September 2015 of the Milano Unica shows presenting Fall/Winter 2016-17 novelties, the What’s Cool company, managed by Fadda, is researching and presenting new trend directions. The new creative director succeeds Angelo Uslenghi, visionary and forward thinking textile and trend specialist and 30-year long ambassador of Milano Unica.

Fadda has worked as art director, image, marketing and communication consultant for fashion and luxury goods including projects for Prada, Valentino, Giorgio Armani and Chanel.
