Footwear industry at Micam awaits news of ‘triple dip’
16/02/2015
Trends consultancy WGSN will be hosting seminars on the next trends as part of a new conference element of the show that was introduced in the September 2014 edition.
There will be fashion shows during the first three days, organised in collaboration with the Rosemary Ferrari agency and WGSN.
In December, Assocalzaturifici, the Italian footwear association, warned that the country’s industry was in danger of falling below the 200 million pairs mark for the third time since 2008, after reporting third-quarter figures. It sees this level as the “critical threshold”.
“The data for the third quarter 2014 confirm the not totally positive dynamics of the first half,” said Cleto Sagripanti, president of Assocalzaturifici, at the time.
At the press conference, held on February 17, he is expected to confirm if the country did indeed fall into a ‘triple dip’ in 2014, when results from the fourth quarter of the year will be revealed.
