Schmid e Arsutoria together at Lineapelle

Schmid’s stand this year was dedicated to the creations of young designers trained at Arsutoria, a leading fashion school in leather goods.

Schmid had a very special stand this year at Lineapelle, the world’s leading trade fair for leather goods held from the 20th to the 22nd of September at the Fiera di Milano exhibition hall.

Visitors haven’t found the usual branded accessories, produced by the main international fashion labels, as they did last year. Instead there were shoes, bags and accessories designed and created by the best studends of Arsutoria, one of the world’s most important fashion schools for leather goods, with materials provided by Schmid.

A valuable partnership

“Schmid’s cutting edge has always been the ability of grasping, interpreting and anticipating new lifestyle and fashion trends. An approach that is the basis of our partnership with Arsutoria, a leading institute in the training of footwear and handbag designers and an influential trend-setter,”  explained the company’s chairman and CEO Paolo Ciccarelli.

«We thank Schmid for this collaboration with the students attending Arsutoria’s courses in design and planning for shoes and bags. Having materials before they are presented to the market is without doubt an exceptional educational opportunity for our students. Even more so, knowing that these materials will be used by the world’s greatest brands,” noted Matteo Pasca, CEO of Arsutoria School.

Make way for young people

It is a clear-cut and brave choice that enabled the visitors of the trade show to admire the creativity and craftsmanship that the young stylists groomed in Arsutoria’s classrooms have been encouraged to develop and interpret based on the latest trends and the materials made available by Schmid. But then again, the students of today will be the designers of tomorrow.
