Milan's footwear fashion fair draws to a close, among trends, high quality and a new attendance record 46,313 trade professionals visited the MICAM ShoEvent, setting a new record for the footwear fashion exhibition organised by ANCI, the National Association of Italian Footwear Manufacturers. The fair was held from 20-23 September at the Milano Rho Exhibition Centre.
The increase in total visitors compared to September 2006 is 4.8%. But more interesting still is the figure on foreign buyers, who rose to a total of 22,623 visitors - that's 5.1% up on last year.
Japan, Germany, Spain, France, Russia and the U.K, were the foreign countries which came highest in the attendance “chart”.
Meanwhile, there were 23,690 Italian visitors, a significant increase of 4.6%. This confirms their great interest in the event, which is still the top international trade fair for the medium-high and high-end footwear sector.
As the event comes to a close, the President of ANCI Vito Artioli comments, “This is my first MICAM ShoEvent as President of the National Association of Italian Footwear Manufacturers."
"I'm all the more proud, therefore, to be able to say that we Italians are still undisputedly the first in the world. And we're first in two ways: we are the leaders in the top sections of the market thanks to our product, which combines quality and fashion content; and we're also leaders as organisers of trade fairs, since MICAM is the most important calendar date for Italian and foreign companies in the trade”.
