Why travelling has always been part of the fashion industry ?
Dear all leather lovers,
I am happy, before a much needed summer break, to conclude a round trip between Paris, London and New York for international leather fairs.

Travelling has always played a key role in the fashion industry as by going abroad and meeting people new, you feel rejuvenated and more focussed than ever on the tasks ahead.

I remember 15 years ago having a great discussion with Mr Alaia about the undergrounds of London, Paris and New York and I was describing to him how by commutating you may have few hints about the state of a city…
Because you will always ended being stuck somewhere unexpected with people you would not have normally meet.
And then if you keep off your phone for a few minutes, you may look at the way your surronding moves and behave.
What they wear, what is their attitude regarding that damned telephone in their hand…
Wandering around is a luxury and a must in the fashion industry.

By losing oneself’s somewhere, you trigger the pull to comeback to your inner center instead and feel refresh and renewed.

Being in Paris, London and New York, some nice opportunities happened during the fairs we attended with ICTYOS

Eventually, that is may be what is going on in Paris at the moment with the Olympics.
By accepting to host foreigners, by trying to welcome them and offer to them the best we have to offer, we eventually come closer to each other and more interesting than ever.

Of course, people will criticise you and speak their truth loud on social media…
At the end of the day, by travelling, leaving your confort zone, you take back control of your work and lead it in all the right directions…
The rest is only words that will not last.

So thank you, Première Vision Paris, Lineapelle London and Lineapelle New York for having us and our next step will be Lineapelle Milano?! Can’t Wait?!

‘Till next time,
Have a great summer?!
