After the strong focus on leather at the recent London Men's Fashion Week, the British capital has once again hosted the Lineapelle leather trade show, at the Ham Yard Hotel on 24th January.

Now in its 17th edition, Lineapelle London featured 41 exhibitors, previewing the summer 2018 style trends. The emphasis was on delicate pastel hues, digitally processed in some instances. Trend-wise, there was a marked break with past seasons, with a return to bright, iridescent colours and nuances.

On 23rd January, Lineapelle London was preceded by the 'Know Your Leather' technical seminar, organised by Lineapelle Training, taking an in-depth look at the product features of leather. Lineapelle London will also focus on sustainability and product certification, with the presence of an information desk for the ICEC, (Istituto Italiano di Certificazione della Qualità, the Italian quality certification institute).

After London, Lineapelle will travel to New York's Metropolitan Pavilion on 1st and 2nd February, and then to Milan from 21st to 23rd February.
