Portuguese Footwear Returns To The Showcase Of The World – MICAM

After a year without face to face editions, the center of the footwear industry is once again focused on MICAM, in Milan. This fair is currently happening, from the 19th to the 21st of September at Fiera Milano. This event is the largest footwear fair in the world.

MICAM Milano returns in total safety to Fiera Milano Rho with the Spring/Summer 2022 collections. Furthermore, there’s also MICAM X, where top-level speakers discuss ideias to find solutions that can be effective for the currently changes of the industry. Trends and materials; art fashion heritage & future; sustainability and retail of the future are the MICAM X themes.

MICAM Milano Digital Show continues to support the physical event. A digital platform, launched last year, that helps creating a perfect match between the physical and digital world during this new normal season.
