From January 20 to 22, 2026, Milan will host the 42nd edition of Milano Unica, the leading event for high-end textiles and clothing accessories. The fair takes place at Fiera Milano Rho and, as usual, opens the year for the fashion and textile sectors.
The choice of January reinforces the strategic role of the event in the international calendar. Milano Unica is in fact located in a central week for the fashion system, in dialogue with other key events such as Pitti Immagine and Milan Fashion Week. A location that facilitates the presence of international buyers and allows companies to present new collections at a crucial stage in purchasing decisions.
The 2026 edition will take place in pavilions 8-12 and 16-20, with a distribution of spaces designed to make the visit more fluid and offer a clear understanding of the offerings. The exhibition areas house Italian and European companies specializing in fabrics for women’s, men’s, and knitwear, as well as manufacturers of medium-high-end and luxury textile accessories.
At the heart of the event are the Spring/Summer 2027 collections, previewed to buyers, designers, and style offices. Milano Unica thus continues to play its role as a B2 B platform, where material quality and production reliability remain decisive elements for the international market.
Milano Unica: Maximum attention to sustainability in 2026
Ample space is dedicated to sustainability and innovation issues, which are addressed in a concrete way. Responsible fabrics, traceable supply chains, more efficient production processes and new technological solutions find visibility through thematic routes and special projects. The aim is to offer operators useful tools to respond to the demands of a market that is increasingly attentive to environmental impact.
Alongside the exhibition, the fair offers trending content, installations, and observatories that help interpret the stylistic directions of the coming seasons. A useful support for those working on the product and collection design.
Completing the experience, Milano Unica offers digital tools such as e-MilanoUnica Connect, designed to consult the exhibitor list, organize appointments, and plan your visit more effectively.
With the January 2026 edition, Milano Unica confirms its role as a point of reference for quality textiles and the international fashion business. Manifattura Foderami Cimmino will also be present, at stand C37 in hall 16.
