    Milano Fashion&Jewels September 2025: Internationality, Quality and New Trends for the Future of Fashion Retail

    The September 2025 edition of Milano Fashion&Jewels, held from 20 to 23 September at Fiera Milano (Rho), closed with 660 brands from 34 countries. The event registered +8.3% growth compared to September 2024, with 16,863 visitors from 95 countries, of which 30% were international. Exhibitors expressed great satisfaction, highlighting a strong increase in foreign visitors and renewed interest in the offering. Buyers and operators emphasised the high quality of collections and the strong fashion content of both Made in Italy and international production. Buyers from strategic European markets such as Spain, Greece, France, Germany and Switzerland, and from non-European countries including Brazil, the United States, Canada, Paraguay, South Korea and Japan, confirmed the centrality of Milano Fashion&Jewels in the international trade fair landscape. The strength of this edition lay in its ability to bring together fashion jewels, fashion accessories and apparel collections in a synergistic context, valuable for contemporary retail seeking coordinated and cohesive proposals. The Sourcing area recorded an excellent response, with an increase in the presence of producers and growing interest from designers, emerging brands and product-development-oriented companies.

    The event also confirmed its role as the opening event of Milan Fashion Week, serving as a creative and business hub.

    Exhibitor outcomes

    Real business growth

    Exhibitor feedback from the September 2025 edition highlighted several tangible benefits of participation. Brazilian exhibitors reported connecting with buyers from across Europe, Russia and Kazakhstan, with strategic connections that translated into business deals. First-time participants such as Mario Britto described the experience as remarkable, making numerous contacts with people from around the world. The ALO Photo Tube contest winners, Koko di Alma and Dago Jewels, demonstrated how participation provided practical tools for content creation, with Koko di Alma noting that the tool 'allowed me to create professional content in just a few minutes—ideal when time and space are limited.' Dago Jewels emphasised that the experience 'pushed me to step out of my habits, rethinking shapes and combinations I might never have explored otherwise.'

    Europe

    Why it matters

    Milano Fashion&Jewels is the only international B2B trade fair entirely dedicated to fashion accessories, jewellery, ready-to-wear and seasonal apparel, held twice a year at Fiera Milano. It serves as a key observatory for emerging trends and market evolution, positioned in the lead-up to Milan Fashion Week. The September 2026 edition holds particular strategic significance as it coincides with the full-scale launch of Fashion Link Milano — an integrated ecosystem uniting seven trade fairs across the fashion supply chain, from finished collections to materials and technology. With a curated platform connecting 650+ brand exhibitors, 40% international exhibitors, and buyers from 125+ countries, the event provides a concentrated environment where brands, designers, retailers and distributors can discover collections, interpret industry directions and build business relationships. The enhanced incoming buyer programme with ICE Agenzia support and the digital matchmaking platform further amplify commercial opportunities. For buyers, the event offers a curated selection of fashion jewellery, accessories and apparel that reflects current market demands for cross-seasonal collections, material innovation and brand storytelling. For exhibitors, it represents a strategic gateway to the Italian and European retail market at a time when fashion jewellery is expanding beyond dedicated stores into broader retail contexts (https://www.milanofashionjewels.com/en/; https://it.fashionnetwork.com/news/Milano-fashion-jewels-il-lusso-non-si-misura-piu-in-oro-e-argento,1809440.html; https://ch.fashionnetwork.com/it-ch/news/Gioielli-e-accessori-invadono-i-negozi-moda,1864388.html)

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    From Precious Metals to Material Innovation

    With gold and silver prices at record highs, jewellery designers are shifting toward alternative materials including porcelain, artistic glass, fine fabrics, bronze and bamboo, redefining luxury through creative research and original design rather than precious metal content. The 2025 to 2026 silver price rally has pressured suppliers to reduce weights of precious metals and raise carats of gemstones in some jewellery pieces to keep prices accessible (https://it.fashionnetwork.com/news/Milano-fashion-jewels-il-lusso-non-si-misura-piu-in-oro-e-argento,1809440.html

    Source
    02

    Cross-Seasonal and Transversal Collections

    Responding to a rapidly expanding market, collections are increasingly designed to be cross-seasonal and transversal. Resort collections for beachwear and summer lifestyle offer solutions that integrate easily into diverse assortments, suitable for both urban boutiques and concept stores in tourist destinations. The trend reflects a shift away from traditional seasonal segmentation toward versatile, year-round product offerings (

    03

    The Buyer as Brand Curator

    Trade buyers are transitioning from traditional transactional purchasers into true brand curators. The core theme for late 2026, 'The New Retail Culture,' focuses on how selection, value and experience are reshaping retail. Buyers are increasingly prioritising brand narrative, supply-chain transparency and product longevity, and the growing role of technology and artificial intelligence in buying strategies is reshaping how collections are selected (https://oa.chinaleather.org

    Source
    04

    Hearts, Vibrant Colours and Minimalism

    Heart shapes, minimalist pieces in precious metals in response to a prolonged price rally, and an array of vibrant colours for summer 2026 dominated trends at the February 2026 edition. Summery style featured bright colours including red Mediterranean coral, orangey-yellow amber, and exuberant hues in stones, crystals and beads. Many jewellery designs manifested minimalism, likely impacted by the silver price rally, with some items made from base metal alloys such as brass plated in precious metals (

    05

    Fashion Jewellery Expanding Beyond Dedicated Stores

    The fashion jewellery category has expanded beyond dedicated retail points to increasingly feature in other store types, from apparel to gift shops. Through jewellery or accessories, retailers are building store identity and transforming the point of sale into a place of look creation, not just purchase. This shift is driving demand for distinctive, narrative-driven pieces that complement apparel assortments (

    06

    Sustainability and Circularity as Core Purchasing Criteria

    Sustainability has moved from a niche concern to a core purchasing criterion for buyers. The Exploring Sustainable Fashion area at Milano Fashion&Jewels, curated by Guya Manzoni of Sfashion-Net, positions itself as an observatory on sustainability, transparency, and quality, increasingly central themes in buyers' purchasing strategies. A dedicated talk on circularity and sustainability at Med Italy in Naples reflected on how the entire supply chain must move in synergy to meet a market that increasingly demands durable, ethical products with high added value (

    Milan as a Global Fashion Capital

    Milan is one of the world's recognized fashion capitals, alongside Paris, New York and London. The city hosts Milan Fashion Week twice a year, and Milano Fashion&Jewels is positioned as the opening event of the fashion week calendar. The September 2026 edition runs 12–14 September, preceding Milan Fashion Week (22–28 September 2026). For international visitors, the September edition offers the opportunity to experience Milan's fashion ecosystem at its most active, with the trade fair, showrooms, and fashion week events occurring in close succession (

    Business Dress and Presentation

    In Milan, professional presentation is taken seriously. For a first business meeting, a well-cut suit in navy or charcoal is a dependable choice for men; women have greater flexibility with tailored trousers, dresses, skirts, jackets and coordinated separates. Fit is particularly important in Milan, and polished leather shoes are expected. The concept of 'spezzato' — wearing a jacket and trousers in different fabrics — is accepted in Italian professional style. Attention to detail and respect for the occasion are key cultural values in Milanese business settings (https://easymilano.com/

    Business Lunch and Aperitivo Culture

    Business lunches in Milan follow Italian dining etiquette: the inviting party always pays, and attempting to split the bill in a formal business context can be a faux pas. Lunch breaks are taken seriously, with time to enjoy an espresso uninterrupted by work. Aperitivo — pre-dinner drinks with light snacks — is a popular Milanese tradition and a common setting for informal business networking after trade fair hours (

    Greetings and Language

    In Italy, starting with 'buongiorno' (good morning) or 'buonasera' (good evening) before making a request or placing an order reflects respect and cultural awareness. While English is widely spoken in the fashion industry, attempting a few words in Italian is appreciated. Milanese business culture blends relationship-building with efficiency, making small talk and personal connection important before moving to business discussions (

    Milan's Fashion District (Quadrilatero della Moda)

    The Quadrilatero della Moda (Fashion Rectangle) is Milan's luxury shopping district, defined by Via Monte Napoleone, Via della Spiga, Via Sant'Andrea and Via Manzoni. This area concentrates high fashion flagship stores, many of which are architectural works in their own right. For trade fair visitors, the Quadrilatero offers insight into retail trends and visual merchandising practices that can inform purchasing decisions (

    Processing: 15 calendar days standard; may be extended to 30–45 calendar days in individual cases

    Applications should be submitted to the Italian embassy or consulate responsible for the applicant's country of residence.

    Min. budget

    $1,200.00

    Timeline
